Do You ever worry about the side-effects of your medications?

I think that a lot of the medications out there right now have awful side-effects. Especially the ones meant for mental health. With the Vioxx lawsuit and other big-name drug companies being sued, do you think that someday you'll have to sue a drug company due to an illness caused by their drug? I've heard good and bad things about those drugs, usually it's a two-edged sword; the drug cures an illness but cause another one.

Side effects are a big concern for me. I have taken several medications that had some pretty nasty side effects. Sometimes the side effects can be worse than the disease that they are suppose to be curing. With the help of your doctor, you should weigh the benefits against the risks, and always let your doctor know if you are having any side effects.
