My insurance demanded that I switch one of my medications because they had cut a deal with the other brand or something. After the first dose, I had crazy heart palpations for the better part of a week and thought I was going to die. It still took several rounds of appeals before my insurance relented and allowed me to get back on the original medication.
Of course, they dropped my coverage for it again 2 months later, so I gave up, which I guess was what my fucking for-profit scum insurance wanted anyway.

That drug wouldn’t have been called Vioxx by any chance?
No, it was a GLP-1
Ah ok, was wondering because I know that one got yanked off the shelves for causing heart issues.
Oh, interesting. It was ozempic that gave me the palpitations, which from what I understand is a somewhat uncommon reaction
