Accutane

User Ratings:
8.2	Effectiveness
5.2	Side Effects
7.5	Holistic Benefits

It helped relieve my acne. The only reason for my liver damage and fever is because I got Mono. Dry lips and hands while on Accutane were uncomfortable, but worth getting rid of my acne.

I have been taking lasix for over seventeen years. It is a diarhetic because it pulls teh potassium out of my body. So I need additional potassium to balance it out. It makes me photosensitive from the sun, so I have to wear long sleves to protect myself.

Cymbalta

User Ratings:
3.7	Effectiveness
7.1	Side Effects
5.3	Holistic Benefits

My doctor is switching me to Luvox CR to see if it improves my difficulty with short term memory loss. I have also begun to have a terrible time waking up in the morning. In reading about Luvox it seems that it is effective without the memory loss associated with Cymbalta on occasion. As we lowered the dose from 90mg to 60mg there was not a really signifigant increase in short term memory so switching to Luvox CR is our next option. I have mild bipolar and am a recovering alcoholic (55 mon... View full comment

I ahte this medicine. The doctor gave it to me as a muscle relaxant, but it is a lowering blood pressure medicine. So it clearly didn't work for me. It caused too much pain, and all my muscles tensed up.

Zyflamend

User Ratings:
4.8	Effectiveness
2.5	Side Effects
5	Holistic Benefits

I was diagnosed with degenerative facet changes, L-4, L-5. I had been on constant ADVIL for 1 month which does relieve the pain significantly. I was told about Zyflamend and that it was an "herbal supplement" with anti-inflammatory results. Since I wanted to get off the ADVIL, I tried Zyflamend. It works great (on half dose), not quite as good as ADVIL, but very duable. I was very surprised, since no other herbal supplement has ever worked for me, especially for my lower back,...
