Clonazepam

User Ratings:
5.4	Effectiveness
6.3	Side Effects
6.5	Holistic Benefits

I initially started taking Clonazepam recreationally and realized that I needed to move toward actually obtaining this as a normal regiment. I am highly ADHD and have a mood disorder. I refuse to take Depakote (i have side effects to Lithium). I am aware of the long term effects of Clonazepam. I honestly was one to believe people need to handle stressors without the need of drugs. While advocating that feeling, i was concurrently having extensive experiences (suffering if you will) yet, to av... View full comment

Endur-Acin

User Ratings:
7.2	Effectiveness
3.7	Side Effects
5	Holistic Benefits

I was prescriped Niaspan, but since I do not have drug insurance, the cost was prohibitive. I searched the web for a lower cost niacin and decided to try the Endur-acin because it was also extended release, came in 500mg doses, the cost for 500 tablets was $42.00, and other user comments made me feel it would be just as good. I have taken 2 500mg tablets per day along with pravastatin 40mg for the past 3 months. It lowered total from 200 to 168, triglycerides from 95 to 82, & LDL from... View full comment

Gleevec

User Ratings:
7.2	Effectiveness
7.6	Side Effects
6.7	Holistic Benefits

While one of Gleevec's side affects is diarreha (mine was really severe) I found that by taking 1000mg of vitamin D every other day almost completely stopped it. I didn't find that out until after losing 35 lbs. but if it helps someone else, great. Puffy eyes for 7 years now have made my eyes so beat up looking. Haven't found anything that really helped that. They're totally destroyed now. Swelling throughout my body and face. Sometimes more than others. Joint pain in fingers, feet and muscl... View full comment

Armour thyroid

User Ratings:
5.4	Effectiveness
4	Side Effects
6.1	Holistic Benefits

I researched this medication throughly before starting it, and i recommended it to my endocrinologist. this medication has both T4 (commonly found in synthetics) and T3 (also in synthetic form but not often perscribed) as well as T1 and T2 which are not manufactured yet as we do not know what their role is and it is believed then that they must not be significant. I would rather take one medication that provides all of the same hormones my body should be producing but isnt.

Isotretinoin is a nightmare, if you are thinking of taking it DONT! 3 years after go off the drug my bones still creak every time i climb a step, my liver is still recovering and more recently I have been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism.

I was place on isotreinoin but only stay on it for 3 months before stopping, my ski... View full comment
