Many of these side effects can be avoided through following the advice given in these forums, but be aware, whilst some of the sides are potentially lethal, they are very rare however you will almost certainly suffer some of the less damaging sides.

Admins: I would like to do a poll on the above is there any way to get more than 15 categories and allow people to answer more than once? would like to poll how many people had suffered any of the listed sides to assess their frequency.

Thanks
