In my opinion, it's not always good to blindly take a new medication before doing your own research on it. Doctors are people too and can make mistakes just as well (as I have caught several times before). So below is a list of common Medications, most of which I have been on, what they are, their common side effects, etc. This is for educational purposes only, this knowledge should be used alongside your consultation with a doctor.
