This link seems to detail all of the possible side-effects: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a602016.htm... — I think many would agree some of the side-effects which include; difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs, anxiety, depression are definitely serious. And I would also argue that even though some of the other side-effects like skin peeling, rashes and whatnot aren't as serious, they're still pretty bad side-effects.

It's rare that most drugs these days don't have a potential side-effect or two, but if you don't need to take these pills I think there's no point in potentially risking some serious health issues like depression as a result of taking something you don't need.

Those seem like fairly cookie-cutter side effects for quite a large class of pharmaceuticals.
