Wellbutrin XL

User Ratings:
5.6	Effectiveness
6	Side Effects
6.3	Holistic Benefits

Initially, Wellbutrin XL definitely helped me to get through my husband's one-year navy deployment, with me having to work part-time, continue working on my Master's degree, and care for my 7 and 9 year olds alone. That was 4 1/2 years ago and I am still on Wellbutrin XL. At this time, I would say my mild depression and anxiety, plus mood swings and lack of patience, are creeping back. This makes me wonder if this drug is better in the short-term than the long-term? So I am now looking in... View full comment

Niaspan

User Ratings:
3.2	Effectiveness
6.5	Side Effects
3.6	Holistic Benefits

I get slightly flushed with Niaspam, but I take it with a baby aspirin and only when I'm going to bed. Some slight itching occurs, but I usually get to sleep fine anyway.

Zyflamend

User Ratings:
4.8	Effectiveness
2.5	Side Effects
5	Holistic Benefits

I did not want to take it initially because I'm used to over the counter remedies, but at the suggestion of my chiropractor, I decided to take it. I am pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of it. At the same time, I feel a bit relieved that I am not taking too many over the counter anti-inflammatories anymore. I'm not really interested in burning out my liver and/or kidneys!

Lyrica

User Ratings:
3.9	Effectiveness
7.5	Side Effects
5.3	Holistic Benefits

Lyrica is ok for treating anxiety conditions like GAD. It works well but the confusion/dizziness at dosage above 300mg per day can be a problem. It does not have many gastrointestinal side effects but I find that it irritates a long term gastritis problem of mine. Lyrica is a good alternative for those who cant tolerate conventional antidepressants or those who would like to avoid the use of benzodiazipines. Lyrica does have withdrawal symptoms on stopping (so I have read) but they are not a... View full comment

Simvastatin

User Ratings:
6.1	Effectiveness
3.7	Side Effects
4.6	Holistic Benefits

I have only just realised how many problems, I had in the last 2 years, were side effects from taking Simvastatin. I may be one of a small minority but if your medical checkups are only once a year and you haven't been appraised of the potential side effects then you suffer unnecessarily. When the doctor who prescribes the drug for you is not astute, or enlightened, enough to pick up your problems as side effects then this just compounds the problems.

Junel FE

User Ratings:
1.6	Effectiveness
6.5	Side Effects
3.9	Holistic Benefits

Have been on this for about 2 years now, it was a bit rough the first month, but each month got better. By the third month I felt normal. Had a bit of nausea during that time, but never threw up. No longer have irregular periods, and now they are much shorter and I don't feel sick when I have them. But now that I've been on it awhile I'm starting to wonder if maybe the acne I am getting is from the pills cuz I hadn't had acne for several yrs before going on it. Also I had no dental problems e... View full comment

Yaz

User Ratings:
6.2	Effectiveness
5.3	Side Effects
6.1	Holistic Benefits

I know it's been a short time sense I've been taking Yaz. 2 weeks actually, but ever sense day one i've been tired, irratable and having EXTREME headachs. I've been bleeding heavy for 14 days now also the cramping has gotten WAY worse. I was put onto this pill to help with crapming and to make my cycle shorter and lighter, its done the complete opposite. This is my first birth control and so far I absolutely hate this whole experiance. To make it worse I can't even get my doctor on the phone... View full comment
