Microgestin FE

5.6	Side Effects
5.2	Holistic Benefits

Unfortunately, I have had a real problem with hormonal birth control. I'm currently taking Microgestin, and while I'm kind of miserable on it, it's not as bad as what I experienced with Ortho. My only real complaint is that I have developed contact lens intolerance, and get red, gritty, painful eyes every time I wear my lenses for more than one day at a time. My Dr., of course, doesn't think it's from the pill, but would rather send me to a series of unnecessary (and expensive) tests. G... View full comment

Androgel

User Ratings:
3.7	Effectiveness
6.2	Side Effects
5.3	Holistic Benefits

Androgel has reduced (to almost eliminated)---the "low level" blues I've been experiencing. However, since I started it (along side another drug)--I've had *EXTREME* fatigue. (to the point of sleeping 24-48 hours STRAIGHT--with only waking up for bathroom breaks). A Drug Rep suggested I up my dosage, I'm waiting to see the Doctor to do this. For "Low level blues" (my T-levels were 1/3 what they should have been)--it seems to be doing it's job, however I still have *ZERO... View full comment

ProAir HFA

User Ratings:

5.6	Side Effects
3.2	Holistic Benefits

I had been having a hard time breathing for a few months and, knowing that I had asthma, I decided to get a refill on my inhaler. ProAir HFA helped me finally catch my breath and I've been sleeping much easier and waking up feeling more rested. I also have the energy to get things done and I am no longer out of breath when going up a flight of stairs.

Reglan

6	Side Effects
3.4	Holistic Benefits

I started out with 4 tabs a day but that was way too much. Doctor's PA told me to take 2 a day which was an improvement but side effects, although lessened, continued. I experienced restlessness, tongue sucking, mouth pursing, jaw clenching, rash on face, throat tightness with muscle spasm. I learned that these side effects over time can be life long. Was on drug for approximately 5 months when doctor told me to discontinue the drug. The patient information sheet provided with the prescr... View full comment

Prednisolone

User Ratings:
7.1	Effectiveness
4.2	Side Effects
7.2	Holistic Benefits

I've had eczema since I was in the third grade and I had a flare that no lotion or ointment worked on. I was prescribed Prednisolone to treat my eczema and as soon as the next day, my flare began to improve. The downside is you can only use this treatment for a few days but after the week or so that you're on it, lotion and ointments can be used for minor flares.
