Would you take this medicine?

15 Comments

I've been on a medication for a lightly painful condition I really would like to get rid of. In two weeks it has regressed in, say, 40-50%. Chances are I might need to take it for longer than two more weeks to heal the other 50-60%. It's made me very happy, but after these two weeks I've started feeling like crap. I get stomachaches, headaches, diarrhea and feel nauseous. When the side effects started I was able to work through it but all my free time was ruined. On the 14th day I felt unable to work so I skipped it the following day and resumed the next. I felt horrible again.

If it were you, would you keep taking this medicine?

    Stop taking it and talk to your doctor. They can prescribe something else.

    Sounds like you're developing an allergy. Stop taking it and call your doctor.

    I don't believe in medicines. I only take them for recreational use.

    What is the name of this medication? I really think you should stop taking it and look for a safer alternative.
