How can I remember the adverse effects of over-activation of the parasympathetic nervous system?

The adverse effects of over-activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, for example by poisoning with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, can be remembered by the following mnemonic, SLUDGE/BBB:

Salivation
Lacrimation
Urination or urinary incontinence
Defecation or diarrhoea
Gastrointestinal distress
Emesis
/
Bradycardia
Bronchoconstriction
Bronchorrhoea

Alternatively, you can use the mnemonic, DUMBELS:

Defecation or diarrhoea
Urination or urinary incontinence
Miosis
Bradycardia / Bronchoconstriction / Bronchorrhoea
Emesis
Lacrimation
Salivation
