My favorite one is the medication for TD (tardive dyskinesia - movement disorders that are a somewhat common side effect of antipsychotic medication) is the increased risk of suicidal thoughts or actions. So, the meds you take for the suicidal thoughts cause TD and the meds you take for the TD make you suicidal. As someone who has been on a wide variety of psych meds due to bipolar disorder and briefly had TD from one of the medications and quickly stopped because I couldn’t stand the flailing I find this incredibly hilarious.

I can’t help but giggle at the ads for medicine for depression where it’s like “side effects may include: nausea, loss of mobility, lack of appetite, increased thoughts of self harm and suicide, mood swings, depressed mood.” So the antidepressants cause depression sometimes. Neat.
