i stay away from them as much as possible because of all the side effects and my distrust for the pharmaceutical companies and their so called "studies". i wonder how accurate their studies really are? i was talking to a girl once in a waiting room of a physicians office who was telling me she does medical research studies all the time just to get paid and doesn't even really take the medication supplied. i told her that was irresponsible and did not really care to hear anymore about it. i got up and moved away from her. imagine doing that and telling people about it too? there seems to be a drug for every little ailment these days and people just blindly take them just because their doctors suggest it. not me. i research it and ask myself if i really need the drug and try to find natural alternatives.

I don't take any medication unnecessarily, prescription or over the counter, but if you need something to stay alive or healthy, it's better to take the chance with the medication than to risk your health.
