Ultram

User Ratings:
6.5	Effectiveness
5.1	Side Effects
5.6	Holistic Benefits

The Ultram caused slight dizziness in the beginning which stopped after taking it for a while. It caused really significant memory problems initially. Now, when taking the medication, I mix my words up sometimes; but I do not feel confused. I can pretty much function normally. But I would use this drug cautiously in the elderly! I will have a dull headache after taking the medication and I cannot take it late in the day or I will be awake all night long. I take the med for pain with rheu... View full comment

NuvaRing

5.9	Holistic Benefits

I have been using Nuvaring for about 6 years now. I recently have started to have blurred vision, severe vertigo, fatigue, rashes and much more. I feel that my symptoms have worsened over the last 6 years but I have just now realized that this was the problem. If you feel any different on this medication, trust yourself and go tell your doctor because it is probably the medication. That was my mistake I thought there was something wrong with me come to find out it was severe side effects... View full comment

Reglan

6	Side Effects
3.4	Holistic Benefits

I started out with 4 tabs a day but that was way too much. Doctor's PA told me to take 2 a day which was an improvement but side effects, although lessened, continued. I experienced restlessness, tongue sucking, mouth pursing, jaw clenching, rash on face, throat tightness with muscle spasm. I learned that these side effects over time can be life long. Was on drug for approximately 5 months when doctor told me to discontinue the drug. The patient information sheet provided with the prescr... View full comment

Citalopram Hydrobromide

User Ratings:
3.6	Effectiveness
7.3	Side Effects
5.5	Holistic Benefits

There are so many different kinds of medications out there. You aren't just going to immediately find the right one for you. It's all about trial and error. Trust me, it's an agrivating process and I've wanted to give up many times (I started trying different meds about 7 months ago) I have confedence that I will find one right for me. The more medications fail, the closer I am to finding the one that won't. I'm currently taking citalopram and so far so good :). It's sucks having depression,... View full comment

Lipitor

User Ratings:
4.5	Effectiveness
5.2	Side Effects
3.7	Holistic Benefits

Extreme leg muscle fatigue/pain that remained a mystery to my doctors. I went on a diet and began to exercise regularly (cycling), and my legs were burning from the moment I left the driveway until my return (3 miles). It did not change over three months, so I knew it wasn't just that I hadn't exercised for a while. A friend experienced the very same symptoms, quit taking Lipitor, and has recovered from his leg pain. He is controling his cholesterol through diet and exercise and I intend... View full comment

Advil

User Ratings:
6.3	Effectiveness
1.3	Side Effects
5.5	Holistic Benefits

For a drug that can be easily bought in stores, Advil is definitely the best. It has never given me any negative side effects (nothing like nausea, headaches, drowsiness, etc.). It has helped provide relief from pain, stomach cramps, headaches, and sports-related injuries.
