Tolperisone

User Ratings:
1.8	Effectiveness
5.9	Side Effects
4.7	Holistic Benefits

I used Tolperisone as an alternative to Limptar in preventing leg muscle cramps. Tolperisone had the additional benefit of allowing me to do some creative re- search, realizing that both exercise and coffee would be necessary to keep my brain and body functioning for more than about 30 minutes. With those two stimulants I could work well for up to six hours. However, about 3 months ago I began experiencing extreme skin redness, itchiness and bumps over an increasing portion of my body. I s... View full comment

Wellbutrin XL

User Ratings:
5.6	Effectiveness
6	Side Effects
6.3	Holistic Benefits

I have tried 36 antidepressants during my lifetime and only two worked well for me - lofepramine (you cant get it in the US) and Wellbutrin.. I felt really really tired and lethargic on most other drugs, and some gave me some really nasty side effects - seizures from venlafaxine, suicidal tendencies with prozac, tics, anxiety or severe tiredness with others

Betahistine

User Ratings:
4	Effectiveness
6.9	Side Effects
4.9	Holistic Benefits

I have suffered from Menier's disease for 13 years. Despite the ups and downs of this condition, i did not let it control my life. My advice to sufferers: Exercise regularly Avoid salt at all costs Avoid Cigarettes Avoid Alcohol Take your tablets regularly Forget about the condition: The more you think about it, the more you get upset and depressed Enjoy your life fully Avoid reading too much about the condition on the Internet When you have an attack, lie down and sleep if you fee...

Ambien works better for me than any other insomnia medication I've tried. The downside is that it can make me drowsy when I wake up.

Zoladex

User Ratings:
2.4	Effectiveness
7.8	Side Effects
3.8	Holistic Benefits

My father is on Zoladex for prostate cancer. He seems to have developed little obsessive behaviours - like counting cigarettes, the money in his pocket and writing notes. And a slurping sound with his mouth. I also feel he is sinking into a deep depression and wonder if it's the Zoladex. I am taking him to the doc tomorrow. He never complains about anything so it's difficult to know. I was a nurse in the past though and see changes that are not simply age related. He's been like a dead man wa... View full comment

Effexor XR

User Ratings:
7.1	Effectiveness
6.4	Side Effects
7.2	Holistic Benefits

Originally, my dosage was started at 50mg, then raised gradually to 150mg. About two months after reaching full dosage, I started experiencing some side effects that I didnt recognize as side effects at the time. the best way i can describe it is that I started acting very unlike myself. There was a period of about three months where I experienced extreme sexual hypomania, which completely ruined my long term relationship with my fiance. This was followed by a one month period of social... View full comment
