Ai..... if that is literally verbatim that is not the best practice. I'm sorry your doctor was that casual if she was.
You should always have "informed consent" about the most often experienced side effects with a medication if they are experienced to any degree. Now at the same time if you told your patients everything in the PDR they might (and this isn't entirely fiction) develop "medical student syndrome" and think what is happening to them must absolutely be the rarest side effect. Doesn't mean rare side effects don't happen. I know that myself. Trazodone -- priapisms, not exactly rare. Lyrica -- visual degradation/blurriness, not exactly rare either.
