Lexapro

User Ratings:

6.6	Holistic Benefits

It's interesting...It definitely makes me feel MUCH better. I initially caved into "drugs" after dealing with horrible panic attacks for two years. I tried to stay away from reading reviews because I knew I wouldn't take it then. I have to tell you, I have definitely gained weight, and whether it's from this drug or personal eating habits, I don't know. I also, on occasion, get very dizzy and disoriented, like my equilibrium is off. I'd say this happens once a month. Nonethele... View full comment

Preparation H Hydrocortisone

User Ratings:
6.4	Effectiveness
0.7	Side Effects
5.9	Holistic Benefits

Prep H does its job of reducing the swelling and pain caused by hemorrhoids very well. Two days after application, the product reduces the size of the hemorrhoid considerably and really eases the pain. However, Prep H does not "cure" hemorrhoids, and I believe it should be used only for pain relief.

Mirena

5.9	Holistic Benefits

I have endometriosis and we tried several different birth control pills before my doctor recommended the Mirena device to me. It was very expensive (of course my insurance doesnt cover the device) and it was very painful when she put it in. I had irregular bleeding for the three months that I had it in me and I experienced some of the most painful cramps I had ever had in my life. I could only stand three months of it and I had to have her remove it. It was a waste of 800.00 for me.

Advil helps me a lot when I have body aches and regular headaches but unfortunately it does not help me when I have bad headaches or migraines

Ditto the previous comment also submitted today. Started Prozac (then generic) on and off since it hit the market in the mid-80's. Have tried just about everything else and would have some noticeable side effect(s) always going back to Prozac. Tried those other drugs not because Proz didn't work but as new ones came on market and heard positive comments, gave them a try. Only noticeable side-effect has been an exact 5 lb gain each time I restart it after a break. HOWEVER, I never take mo... View full comment

Tylenol

User Ratings:
6	Effectiveness

5.2	Holistic Benefits

AWESOME STUFF. Currently I use as a drug of choice in almost every sickness (head, cold, flu, etc.). Seems that Tylenol has a positive effect on immunity system. It gives it strength to fight the bugs. Oher drugs don't seem to have as much effect as tylenol does. I am not sure if it is some kind of ingredient combination that works well with my body or if it just a good and effective drug. Either way it tremendously help me when I am sick.
