Sometimes, doctors prescribe meds that maybe....how do I put this....they shouldn't.
So list here meds that you consider unsafe and should be banned by the FDA but aren't. Don't get me wrong, if the med works for you I'm not against them outright, I just think the side effects might outweigh the positive effects in some cases.
Prednisone (corticosteroids)
kayexalate
accutane
Xanax (benzodiazepines)
Don't get me wrong, if meds work for you, even if they are controversial, then I think you should continue to take them. I'm just saying sometimes docs are a bit quick to just prescribe meds and send you on your way even if there may be alternative treatments with less side effects that may be better for you that they might not take the time to look into with you, that you should probably consider. I can't think of any more controversial meds so if you've had experience with some list them here. The side effects and controversies/lawsuits for each can be found online all over the place.
