Good idea . So many medications the affects are so generalized. If something different occurs people might not realize it is their medication.

Thanks, I`ll check it out, that`s a really useful idea.
The irony is, that often another drug is given to treat the side-effects of the first; particularly in the elderly, it`s shocking !

How do you know what the side effects might be?  Sure, your doctor will probably explain them and you can read the label, but what do real users have to say?  Will it make you see blue, cause indigestion, or simply zonk you out and make you think you’ve been fishing all day?  That’s where <A target="_blank" href="http://www.rateadrug.com">RateADrug</A> comes in.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2009/03/17/rateadrug/"><P>The site allows users to share their own experiences with different prescription drugs, ranging from Ambien, to Zoloft, to yes, Viagara.
