Opinions on this introduction/ first chapter to my story?

It's basically about all the medications I have tried or have been on. I will probably work a plot into it somehow but this is only the first chapter. So tell me what you think and any grammar errors I missed.

Drug Memoirs

1.Pills

Popping twenty four Dramamines will make you stumble, uncontrollably. Your vision blurs and you can't read or write anything. If you try it will end up looking like nonsense. When you try to stand up it feels as though an invisible force is pressuring you to sit back down. If you try to sleep while on that much medication you’ll wake up to the voice of your own sleep talking. You think that all your dreams are real. You can’t tell reality apart from your own head. This lasts an estimated ten hours.

Take one Lunesta and you turn into a schizophrenic mental patient. You hear voices that aren’t there. They aren’t screaming or whispering. They are just there. Telling you short, inaudible ramblings or asking you friendly questions about yourself. You can’t keep track of time. You'll spend what you think is five minutes staring at a wall, but turns out to be five hours. After all this mental anguish is done, you will sleep for at least twelve hours.

Consuming five Ritalin’s will have your pupils as big as saucers and acting like a five year old crack head. You’ll be Singing obscenities and throwing whatever you can get your quivering hands on. It speeds up your metabolism and you feel like you want to run marathons to the point of collapsing. Your brain won’t be able to keep up with your body and all of your focusing skills will go out the window. This lasts two to six hours.

Where's the plot. At this point I can't even guess where this is going. If I can't get involved in the story I can't continue to read it.
Who is taking these pills?
Why is he taking them?
Where?
All these things have to be included for it to form a story. Right now what you have is just some random side effect on three types of pills. You have no hook to keep the readers going.
