This list does not mean you should stop or not consider a specific drug that is problematic.

What it does do is remind prospective and current patients to research their own situation, and the drugs, and to be very vigilant for side effects.

Some may choose not to use the drug based on their own benefit vs risk status. But some people may HAVE to use one of them, if their situation is extreme.

A drug like Cymbalta, is obviously liver toxic, so another antidepressant may work as well, without that effect.

Forteo, is less problematic for bones, than the bisphosphonates, but it has the pancreatic side effects instead.
Using the link I gave to patientsville.com may help people to decide.
