Simvastatin

User Ratings:
6.1	Effectiveness
3.7	Side Effects
4.6	Holistic Benefits

My doctor recently switched me from pravastatin to simvastatin, since - despite weight loss and adding regular exercise and fish oil - my total cholesterol levels began to rise again. One supplement you should always take if you are on any of the statin drugs is Coenzyme Q10, as statins can deplete this nutrient from your body and cause muscle damage and worse. Now that I'm on a stronger statin, I've upped my intake to 300 mg. a day of CoQ10, divided into morning and evening doses. And the h... View full comment

Zyrtec Allergy

2.8	Side Effects
5.5	Holistic Benefits

I have horrible sneezing fits that I attribute to allergies. Sometimes up to 10 sneezes in a row. While using Zyrtec the sneezes have subsided slightly but not gone away. After a couple of hours my head returns to a stuffy state and I have to take medication again.

If I don't have atleast 10 hour sleep at night after taking Minipress XL 2.5 mg, then I don't get strength on my feet to move around coupled with slight head imbalance making the total feeling uncomfortable.

Cipralex

7.8	Side Effects
5.6	Holistic Benefits

I tried for 5 days,and had all the worst symptoms you can. I even lost my mojo. After 5 days I stopped taking the medicine cold turkey, got my mojo back, and during withdraw I had the nicest dreams. I am going back to 5-HTP and other naturopathic anti depressants. They worked best for me. Better then being high all day and not sleeping for more then 2 hours at a time.

Avonex

User Ratings:
4	Effectiveness
6.8	Side Effects
3.5	Holistic Benefits

I have been taking Avonex for about 15 years. I credit Avonex for my ability to keep walking and to continue living a fairly normal life, with a family and a 20-hour job. I think I would be in a wheelchair if I never took Avonex. The times I have tried to do without my weekly injection, I would start having spastic movements while walking that risked some very painful falls/sprains, and I would walk with a more pronounced limp which never fully recovered even when I began taking the drug a...

Amrix

User Ratings:
4.4	Effectiveness
6.1	Side Effects
5.4	Holistic Benefits

After trying several other medications, Amrix was the first to relieve the intense constant pain in my head. I was extremely tired the first couple of weeks after I started taking it. Especially in the first week, I couldn't even trust myself to take care of my children because I couldn't keep my eyes open. I also had problems with my face breaking out and extreme dry mouth. I tried to stop taking the pill after 3 weeks, but my headaches came back the next day. I have now been on Amrix f... View full comment
