RULE #1 most people who post on board are there because they are having problems with the drug , people with no problems dont post because they arent having a problem..
OK I can go for that. There were a couple of people out there who posted on the board that I gave to let everyone know that they don't have any side effects; but you are right. I wouldn't post nor would I go to a message board for a drug I'm taking if I didn't have any side effects.

RULE #2 Side effects from mst drugs are usually the same as the symptoms of what the drug was used to stop
Not sure if I understand. I'm taking Levaqin because I have an infection yet my side effects were feeling lethargic and lightheadedness.

RULE #2 Do a check on clinical trials of the drug and you will find most people have about the same side efffects on the placebo ( sugar pills )
Agreed.

Quote:
RULE #4 anxiety over a side effect usually causes the side effects to worsen
Agreed again. Before I started taking the Levaquin I checked out the side effects on the link I've posted. Scarred the living daylights out of me. As soon as I popped the first pill I've already experienced half of the symptons what the other people experienced also...at least in my head.

RULE #5 never trust one doctor ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get a second opinion
Agreed. I did get two opinions.
