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,...

Metformin

5	Side Effects
5.2	Holistic Benefits

I started taking Metformin when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I started at a lower dosage twice daily and moved up to 850mg 3 years later and I haven't really had any problems with my blood sugar since then. Metformin keeps my blood sugar very stable and I am very happy with it.

Isosorbide Mononitrate

User Ratings:
9	Effectiveness
3.7	Side Effects
6.4	Holistic Benefits

When I first started taking the medication it gave my significant headaches, dizziness and a stomach ache, but after one week the side effects stopped. I am so glad for this medication because it has stopped my coranary artery from spasming and the chest pain is finally gone. I used to have chest pain, in varying strengths, all day long, and now I am chest pain free.

Focalin XR

User Ratings:
7.1	Effectiveness
7.1	Side Effects
7.6	Holistic Benefits

although focalin xr hsa changed my appetite, it has done so for the better... i am still healthy, but i eat less, allowing me to lose a little bit of weight. i do have diarrhea sometimes but it is not often, and besides that, the only other side effect that i have noticed has been insomnia; if i take the focalin less than about 4 or 5 hours before i go to bed, i sometimes have trouble getting to sleep. other than that, it has worked wonders for my stress and ability to get things done.

The best part about folic acid is that it does not interfere with my diet or my lifestyle. It's painless and convenient.
