Medrol

User Ratings:
8.6	Effectiveness
5.1	Side Effects
6.4	Holistic Benefits

Medrol has been the one prescription that seems to help right away. The up side to this drug is it takes away the pain the inflammation makes and gives me energy. The down side is the potential side effects can be very bad.

It gives me terrible cramps starting in my side and running all the way up my side and through my arms. I am unable to take it and had to switch to a different medicine because the side effects were too bad.

Meloxicam

User Ratings:

4.1	Side Effects
4.6	Holistic Benefits

I am taking Meloxicam for disc degeneration L4-L5 -disc buldge putting pressure on nerve. Since taking this medication I have started to have trouble with Sciatica.

Meloxicam is also causing dizziness and constipation as well as insomnia.

Carbimazole

The whole process starts with getting rid of toxins, both external factors such as smoking and looking at the "gut" and any dysbiosis that may be in itself producing endotoxins from poor digestion and poor elimination. Without starting here(detox and gut repair) the likely hood of overcoming a hyper thyroid is pretty poor. On the other hand if this is done along with de-bugging(getting rid of parasites and latent viral components), then the primary source of burden for the thyroid... View full comment

Isotretinoin

User Ratings:
6.5	Effectiveness
6.1	Side Effects
6.7	Holistic Benefits

I've been taking this medication for almost 2 years now. It is absolutely great in controlling my acne and I haven't seen improvements like this with anything else. It is extremely effective and works almost immediately. I wouldn't know what to do without it. Apart from the dry lips and skin, and frequent thirst, the medicine does induce depression in me, to the extent of people asking if something is wrong. It's strange in how it alters your mood at times and I see a distinct difference when... View full comment
