define a severe adverse drug reaction?

Answer 1

Well, could be hives or anaphylactic (airway swells shut, could die if not promptly treated with adrenaline). Other complications but not true "reactions" would be intestinal bleeding, or respiratory depression. It basically means your body just can't tolerate that drug for one reason or another.

Answer 4

Drugs have a major effect on our brains including changing the way we think or act. You could have a really bad trip which could change you forever, like the effects of LSD... you might never come down. I think that's pretty severe! Imagine all your senses constantly intense for the rest of your life! Would advise everyone never to even risk that happening. Your life would be over.
