Vyvanse

User Ratings:
6.4	Effectiveness
6.7	Side Effects
7.2	Holistic Benefits

Vyvanse is the only drug I've taken since I was diagnosed with ADD. I'm 47, so I can tell you it's not just for children. It really works, too. If anything, I have to be more careful with prioritizing my tasks, because with Vyvanse, it's easy to hyperfocus on whatever is in front of me. The drug lasts at least 8 hours. Also, for me, it causes a feeling of euphoria that peaks about 90 minutes after taking it. (What a wonderful side effect). Vyvanse makes me feel like I'm on a level playing fi... View full comment

Zyflamend

To everyone on NSAIDs...please be careful! My brother was prescribed naproxin (which is just prescription strength Aleve) for shoulder pain. The Dr kept refilling the prescription for 9 months which resulted in kidney damage. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil, Motrin, Aleve can be dangerous if taken improperly or long term. They aren't "safe" just because you can buy them without a prescription. Not sure...but I think I read somewhere that Tylenol has killed more p... View full comment

Opana ER

User Ratings:
6.7	Effectiveness
4.6	Side Effects
7	Holistic Benefits

This was first prescribed by a neurosurgeon to replace MS-Contin he said due to the insurance coverage not paying for the MS-Contin. But since changing specialists, I find it difficult to get any other physician willing to write a prescription. They say that the DEA is cracking down hard on pain mgmt. doctors and primary care doctors who write out requests for this medication. It is difficult for the patient who has been on it for chronic pain and then not being able to obtain it from othe... View full comment

Gardasil Human Papillomavirus Vaccine

User Ratings:
-1.3	Effectiveness
7.2	Side Effects
1.8	Holistic Benefits

I was 17 when I had my 3 Gardasil shots and 17 when I was diagnosed with RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS following the shots. It took a year for doctors to realize I had RA because I was a competitive athlete (they thought my joints were swollen because I have always been an athlete). I now take a shot of Enbrel once a week so I can walk. I am 19 years old and have had to change my entire life style all because of a stupid shot I was forced to get. Girls NEED to start making the connection between RA... View full comment

Wheat Grass

User Ratings:
5.7	Effectiveness
0.5	Side Effects
6.9	Holistic Benefits

The longer you take wheat grass the better you feel because it is cumulative. You don't notice the changes immediately. It is when you stop taking it that you realize it was working really well. For me, better digestion, better mood, better food choices, and gradual weight loss is what I experienced.

Lipitor

Glad I read your comment. I go for my first (3 month) cholesterol blood test to see if the Lipitor is working. I think I'll ask my Dr. to ask for a glucose test also, just to be on the safe side. Thanks!
