“Should You Take the Recommended Meds?”
Only after researching the meds, reading very carefully the cautions, warnings and side-effects.
I start the meds and watch very closely how my body responds. If there are negative-effects then I stop taking the medication immediately.
I have refused taking some meds recommended by a doctor and have fired more doctors at which can shake a stick for the reasons above.
Never, and I repeat, NEVER trust a doctor simply because he is a ‘doctor’. There are many quacks who should be in some other business other than the medical profession.
There are many others who are simply ‘milking’ Medicare/Medicaid.
My criteria for prescription meds is will I die if I don’t take this? If the answer is no I don’t take it. :-)
My goodness, what is commonsense doing here? Whaaaaaat...take responsibility for your own health?
Need to add research the side effects after you stop taking them.
This is now a must for me after the nightmare of last Christmas and not being able to keep down my Cymbalta. Worst headache and brain zaps. On top of the UTI that caused the problem in the first place.

Not that I am taking any meds now since I lost my Medicaid after my surgery. I really miss my iron infusions and B12 shots. Just cancelled my first 6 month check up with the doctor that did my hysterectomy. Was supposed to get a check up every 6 months for 5 years to make sure none of the cancer cells escaped. Oh well. As of right now I’m not bothering to try to re-apply.
Over all after 5 years of regular medical care and I am worse off than ever. Most caused by the Topamax I took for 1 month over 4 years ago.
