If pills were available, what would you "pop a pill" for?

[Alizerine]

For my purposes, there are already pills that correct almost anything. I've struggled with depression and anxiety in the past and have taken Lexapro for years. I've added natural supplements like Himalaya Joy and ZenWell and I finally feel relaxed and happy. I have Insomnia, but Trazadone helps me sleep 8-9 hours per night. I've added a natural supplement called Fall Asleep Faster to help me get to sleep and I have no complaints.

My only wish is that a pill existed that could immediately irradicate cancer. I've known too many that have succumbed to it and some who are now dealing with it.

And as @Paco Dennis said, a life-terminating pill that we could choose for ourselves would be a wish of mine.

I have had a great deal of trouble sleeping in the last few weeks. It might be due to one of the six new medicines I take. Right now I am drinking doctored-up chamomile tea which I hate. I have an early appointment with an occupational therapist, whatever that is. I should be sleeping soundly by then.

Everything you think, do, and say, is in the pill you took today. In the year 3535.

I can't stand shaving. If I could take a pill which would make all of my facial hair vanish, I'd be cool with that.

I think I did take a pill similar to the one you mentioned but it only removed the hair from atop my head and did nothing for my mustache/beard ??

I wish there was a pill that would cure the pain in my shoulders. The doctor told me it’s a form of arthritis, but he can’t isolate which one it is, so he wants to do some type of electro therapy on it. I don’t even know what that is.

Energy. I need energy. Amphetimines without side effects.

Maybe some new information here for you, @911 . Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Arthritis Pain | Arthritis Foundation

Also, saw a few weeks ago that there are shoulder wraps for arthritis both heated, and infrared... but no idea how effective it would be. WalMart has the heated version for about $40 and I saw an infrared at Amazon for around $90.

Weight loss, pain, and yeah, if there were a safe color-restore pill for my hair, I'd take it.

I think of that scanner thing they used on Star Trek to heal pretty much everything. They didn't even need to do surgery on internal injuries. That would be nice.

A pill for better eyesight. Although I like stylish eyeglasses, it would be nice to have better vision as I age.
