Lipitor

User Ratings:
4.5	Effectiveness
5.2	Side Effects
3.7	Holistic Benefits

I had perfect fasting blood sugar levels prior to taking Lipitor and now regularly have fastings of 283 or higher (even when my blood sugar level at night is perfect prior to going to bed). I had a salad for supper tonight and took the normal amount of insulin I took prior to taking Lipitor and later had a blood sugar level over 400. I test my blood level 7 or more times throughout day - Type 1 Diabetes since 1980 and on an insulin pump. My A1c has ranged from 5.5% to 6% over the last 5 ye... View full comment

Topamax

User Ratings:
6.5	Effectiveness
7	Side Effects
5.9	Holistic Benefits

I recommend Topamax to anyone who suffers from chronic migraines. The only two side effects I do not enjoy is the loss of taste with soda and slight confusion at times. It's never to noticeable, but at times it does seem I get a little air headed. I rarely suffer from migraines and when I do get one it's never as strong as they were.

Spironolactone

User Ratings:
7.2	Effectiveness
3.5	Side Effects
6.2	Holistic Benefits

I started spironolactone for my hormonal acne as an alternative to birth control. It takes about 3 months to work, but it works very well! For me, the spironolactone worked very well for 6 months, but has been working less effectively in the last few months

Aspirin

User Ratings:
6.3	Effectiveness
2	Side Effects
5.3	Holistic Benefits

This medication cured me and gave me back myself confidence ( it might sound weird, but it is important for me, and for people like me suffering from congenital heart defects). I really like it, and I would recommend it to anybody. No noticeable side effects.

Bisoprolol Fumarate

User Ratings:
3.5	Effectiveness
7.9	Side Effects
4.2	Holistic Benefits

I added 5MG of this, then cut that in half, then cut THAT in half, to 10MG Lisinopril. My BP crashed (83/62), my resting heart rate was 50, and I felt as if I had to remind myself to breathe. I run 2.25 miles a day, this drug killed my sex drive totally (and I only took it for TWO WEEKS), I went back to 1/2 of a 25MG Toprol even though I hate that drug too, because my BP for some reason suddenly increased. THESE DRUGS are most likely worse than high BP, I don't trust any of them. They art... View full comment

Aleve

User Ratings:
7.1	Effectiveness
1.8	Side Effects
6.1	Holistic Benefits

I have been taking this drug every since I've been in the 5th grade for menstrual cramps. It relieves the pain and to help me function and feel better. It is the only drug that I take for menstrual cramps and nothing else helps. I am very satisfied with this drug.

Zegerid

User Ratings:
5.2	Effectiveness
3	Side Effects
5.2	Holistic Benefits

Zegerid has made my ankles swell. I am guessing it is the extra sodium it contains. It has helped my belching problem, however, it has contributed to a higher blood pressure reading.
