Although I take a prescription for acid reflux it doesn't work as well as the apple cider. It starts to work almost immediately.

NuvaRing

User Ratings:

5.1	Side Effects
5.9	Holistic Benefits

I took this a few years ago and had HORRIBLE side effects and stopped it within one month. I developed horrible cramping, diarhea, blood in my stools. I also had severe abdominal pain that turned out to be kidney infarctions (like a heart attack in my kidneys) that was due to blood clots. The doctors could find nothing else wrong with me that would cause these symptoms. I stopped using NuvaRing and these symptoms immediately disappeared.

Gardasil Human Papillomavirus Vaccine

User Ratings:
-1.3	Effectiveness

1.8	Holistic Benefits

In a study of 11,813 girls receiving the Gardasil vaccine, 2 developed rheumatoid arthritis, 5 developed arthritis, 1 developed reactive arthritis, and 1 developed juvenile arthritis. In the control group of similarly-aged young girls, all of whom received placebo shots also containing aluminum , 1 recipient developed lupus and 2 developed arthritis. The slightly enhanced risk of autoimmune disease following vaccination with Gardasil certainly merits further study. I'm sorry that you'r... View full comment

Cymbalta

5.3	Holistic Benefits

This seems to be the most effective drug for depression/anxiety that I have been given. I have been on quite a few. It doesnt seem to have any side effects, which was great. The only problem I have is when I dont take it. There have been times when I was due for a refill and had to wait until payday or for the pharmacy to open on Monday. The first day without it is not too bad, even though I can still tell. But by the second day, I experience anxiety. Worse of all is the depression. I... View full comment

I'VE HAD A WEIGHT PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. HOWEVER, RISPERDAL DOES SEEM TO AGGRAVATE THIS. WITHOUT MY RISPERDAL I GET VERY PARANOID AND ANXIOUS. WITH MY RISPERDAL I CAN FUNCTION AND HAVE A SENSE OF PERSPECTIVE AND HUMOR. DRY MOUTH IS PREEETY BAD IN THE NIGHT. ALSO MAY CAUSE STUFFY NOSE ALTHOUGH I AM PROBABLY ALLERGIC TO MANY DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES. KNOWN ARE DUST AND POLLEN. SATISFACTORY GENERICS ARE AVAILABLE. MY DIAGNOSIS IS SCHIZOPHRENIA OF THE PARANOID TYPE AND IN PARTIAL REMISSION.... View full comment

Kava Kava

7.1	Holistic Benefits

For me, kava works wonders for my sometimes debilitating anxiety. Non-addictive, and does not cloud my thinking. However, I usually take more than whatever the recommended dose on the bottle says. No side effects, other than if you take "too much", sometimes you can feel a little tired the next day, and/or not sleep as well in the morning. (However, most other people report that it helps their sleep.) I personally feel that it is much safer and just as effective as some of the presc... View full comment

Promethazine hydrochloride

User Ratings:
6.8	Effectiveness
6.6	Side Effects
6.6	Holistic Benefits

I was prescribed this drug when I had a severe sinus infection and kept vomiting. The drowsiness associated with this medicine was more debilitating to me than the vomiting, so I stopped taking the medicine. I think that they did not need to prescribe me something so strong, and the doctor did not warn me of the side effects I would likely experience.
