Voter Comments (the following are opinions of readers and not AskaPatient.com)

• Statins are poison

• Cymbalta

• statins, a death sentence

• Levaquin caused severe tendonitis in my thumb

• Bystolic too many awful side effects...chest pain

• Prolia shots.

• Boniva is #1 on my list.

• Antihypertensives: chest pain, sleep disorders, dyspnea, and headache;

• Prolia

• barbiturate

• statin drugs

• Antihypertensives, antidepressants, antipsychotics

• As a layman, I would say antihypertensives, antidepressants, and antipsychotics.

• Probably!

• Brilinta caused my S/O to have a major stroke!

• motoprolol

• Lupron! It has made mine and thousands of other suffer with no end in sight after taking this!

• Prescription drugs have made me sicker than the reason I was given them in the first place.

• Levaquin, Cipro, Bactrim

• Quionolones

• Get rid of Advair and other LABA drugs!

• Flagyl metronidazole and Macrobid nitrofurantoin

• Fluoroquinolones

• Each drug affects its takers differently

• prolia and bisphosphonates are disabling

• I have had serious side effects in past. Crestor elevated my blood sugar. I'm afraid of my meds

• All quinolones
