Hey! This one is funny

It's for anticholinergics and the major side effects of them :-)

Can't pee

Can't see

Can't spit

Can't Sh!t

(Since they are given for the desirable affects of decreasing salivation, lacrimation, urination, diarrhea, and GI motility :-) Blurred vision and dilated pupils are also side effects )

Is there an easier way to upload new mnemonics? This small screen makes it difficult to edit columns and results in constant editing to make sure the entries are correct.
