That's the risk vs. benefit equation (game? ) we're often faced with. I have some different things for occasional use (or that I only use occasionally) that cause me to question/fight with myself every time I'm faced with the decision (and I hear/read that from a lot of people) - do I stubbornly suffer for 1-2 days with (whatever) or take the cussed pill and lose 1-2 days from the "hangover"? (for lack of a better term)

My DW & I help each other with these little battles, as we can view each others' situations more objectively than ourselves - our own judgment/objectivity colored by misery. Generally (but not always), if it comes down to losing a day either way, why lose it in abject misery? That's the way our doctor sees/puts it; we just have to remind ourselves/each other.
