Oxycodone hydrochloride

User Ratings:
7.5	Effectiveness
3.9	Side Effects
7.1	Holistic Benefits

Hydrocodone (dihydrocodeineone) bitartrate must be the most overpriced mild opioid on the market - now, since the withdrawal of the antitussive DICODID in 2008 (hydrocodone has NEVER been approved as an analgesic in any country except the USA) it is confined to the USA, which, according to WHO, consumed 100% of the world supply in 2014. I concede that, synergistically combined with acetaminophen (paracetamol) it is around four times the strength of dihydrocodeine, but the amount of the latter... View full comment

Works better than the last medication I took for high cholesterol levels! It helped to keep the level in control.

Kariva

5.2	Holistic Benefits

I had my tubes tied back in 1990 and within the last 6-8 years started having lower back pain due to a tilted uterus, and some cramping and my ob/gyn suggested getting on birth control. Since I've been on Kariva, it has taken care of these 2 problems.

It gives me terrible cramps and I am unable to take it. I had to switch to a different medicine because the side effects were too bad.

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

Seasonique

User Ratings:
2.8	Effectiveness
6.5	Side Effects
4	Holistic Benefits

I used Seasonale for about 3 years, switched to OrthoTriCycline for about 3 years, and then recently my doctor switched me to Seasonique since I did so well on the Seasonale before and it is a similar drug. I took the drug for 7 weeks until I had to stop. I bled constantly for the last 4 weeks. I gained 10 lbs. I was also severely depressed to the point of stopping interaction with my friends and my performance decreasing at work. I have never reacted that badly to a medication before, a...

Risperidone

User Ratings:
1	Effectiveness
7.2	Side Effects
4.7	Holistic Benefits

I'VE HAD A WEIGHT PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. HOWEVER, RISPERDAL DOES SEEM TO AGGRAVATE THIS. WITHOUT MY RISPERDAL I GET VERY PARANOID AND ANXIOUS. WITH MY RISPERDAL I CAN FUNCTION AND HAVE A SENSE OF PERSPECTIVE AND HUMOR. DRY MOUTH IS PREEETY BAD IN THE NIGHT. ALSO MAY CAUSE STUFFY NOSE ALTHOUGH I AM PROBABLY ALLERGIC TO MANY DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES. KNOWN ARE DUST AND POLLEN. SATISFACTORY GENERICS ARE AVAILABLE. MY DIAGNOSIS IS SCHIZOPHRENIA OF THE PARANOID TYPE AND IN PARTIAL REMISSION.... View full comment
