Lipitor

User Ratings:
4.5	Effectiveness
5.2	Side Effects
3.7	Holistic Benefits

I have been on lipitor since Dec. 2008 and I was having pain in my legs. I told my Doctor in March 2009 the last time and he reassured me that it was unlikely to be lipitor. I continued to take it until April 26, 2009. Days before the pain had gotten so bad that I couldn't sleep, stand ,walk or sit. When I was still I had a dull throbbing pain in my muscles. When I would move I had piercing pain as I moved along with the throbbing pain, besides my right kidney is throbbing all this time. I de... View full comment

Amlodipine 10mg is the right medication for my Hypertension, but sometimes it gives me severe headaches.

Advil works very well for me! It relieves my pain long enough so I can fall asleep and usually the headache is gone by the next morning.

Lexapro

6.6	Holistic Benefits

This has been the only drug that has helped with my generalized anxiety, and continues to help me today. Without this, I would have been completely debilitated, but instead, I am on my way to becoming a doctor and helping the world.

Treximet

User Ratings:
7.6	Effectiveness
4.5	Side Effects
7.1	Holistic Benefits

When I switched from Imitrex to Treximet, I found relief was within an hour and if I had a bad migraine and took a second one after one hour it was gone. In the past, My severe Migraines could last on and off for 3-5 days at its worst. Side effect is heartburn. I want to thank my Pharmist Richard for telling me about the drug...I had to ask my doctor about it and then she gave me a sample.

Lortab

User Ratings:
4.5	Effectiveness
5.7	Side Effects
5.6	Holistic Benefits

I was originally prescribed lortab for fibromyalgia pain. I was prescribed Lortab 10, 4 times a day but quickly began abusing it. It seemed that the longer I took it, the more I had to take to obtain the same pain relief. I abused Lortab for 1 year and as a result became physically and physchologically addicted and finally sought help at a drug rehab treatment facility. This drug is effective for acute pain but I would not recommend for patients with long term chronic pain.

Mirena

User Ratings:

5.9	Holistic Benefits

I have had the Mirena for well over 6 or 7 years (I'm on my second one). During this time, my acne has been difficult to control - especially on my back and chest. I have also been experiencing some problems with finding the right words and thinking straight, though I suppose this could be a sign of getting older. But I'm only 36, so I'm not that old! I also have found that I am less patient and have more mood swings. Why do I still have the Mirena? Well, it wasn't until very recently s... View full comment
