Prednisone

User Ratings:
5.6	Effectiveness
5.4	Side Effects
5.9	Holistic Benefits

Took it for 6 months starting with a high dosage to treat pericarditis. I kept to a strict diet and only gained 5 lbs during the 6 months but the other side effects were awful. Developed severe joint pain from head to toe and had leg and foot cramps. I would wake at night in terrible pain that was awful enough to leave me crying. I have since told doctors I will never go on such a high dosage again. I now use 10mg per day and have only had minor side effects that are livable. I did develop ca... View full comment

Vicodin

User Ratings:
6.6	Effectiveness
5.6	Side Effects
6.4	Holistic Benefits

This was the drug of my choice when I had a SEVERE toothache. I took two at once and a friend, who is a nurse, said that 2 pills are usually enough. After a half hour, I took a third pill, lay down on the couch and fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn’t feel my toothache, but I also couldn’t feel my legs either. Since I had a very mellow feeling at that time, I went back to sleep and saw a dentist the next day. Vicodin was very effective.

Quercetin

User Ratings:
9.7	Effectiveness
0	Side Effects
8.7	Holistic Benefits

Every time I went home to visit my family, I would always wind up "sick" two days into my visit. I found out/realized that I was/am allergic to dogs (and we have three) but once I started taking Quercetin my allergy symptoms cleared up within a day (crazy, I know)!! I couldn't be more satisfied and lately I have been reading more and more benefits of taking/consuming it so I will continue to do so!

Luvox

User Ratings:
3.7	Effectiveness
6.9	Side Effects
7.1	Holistic Benefits

I have been on and off of Luvox for approximately five years. I recently discussed my current medication regimen and I have decided to stay on Luvox. For me, Luvox has affectively controlled my panic disorder. Occasionally I have a minor panic attack, but even so, it is bearable and it usually passes quickly without that jump out of my skin feeling. In addition, Luvox has done wonders for my irritable bowel. It seems to keep it under control. Regrettably, side effects that have affected... View full comment

Xanax

User Ratings:
6.8	Effectiveness
5.3	Side Effects
7.3	Holistic Benefits

I have a very hectic and stressful life - Xanax brings a peace and calm to me that I cannot naturally develop. It allows me to keep my life balance and has definitely helped me out greatly. The only down side is that I have to be careful mixing alcohol with the drug. It's not pretty when you do!

Retin-A Micro

User Ratings:
4.9	Effectiveness
2.4	Side Effects
5.5	Holistic Benefits

Retin-A Micro was prescribed to me by my dermatologist for my acne. He said that it would increase my break outs only to speed up the process and treat my acne problem more quickly, "get all of it out from under the skin" as he put it. I was very nervous about it, and I thought my face was going to erupt after using it. I honestly didn't notice much of an increase in my acne condition. However, I was also taking doxycycline and benzamycin which may have countered the negative ef... View full comment
