The 10 Most Complained About Drugs In The USA

The Dangers of Drugs

There are plenty of drugs, supplements, and food additives present in our day to day life. But we do not always realize just how harmful these things can be to our health. Everyday people ingest some form of drug whether it be prescription or additives. Here we have a rundown of the top ten most complained about drugs in the United States of America, and why people are complaining.

10) Colloidal Silver

The colloidal silver supplements are fairly hard to come across nowadays, and with good reason. Colloidal silver does have immunity boosting effects, and can help kill bacteria, but unfortunately it does have a worrying tendency to turn a person’s skin permanently blue.

9) Vicodin and Oxycotin

The two pharmaceutical drugs Vicodin and Oxycotin are both commonly prescribed medications. Despite the wide use of these drugs, they account for more deaths than all illegal drugs combined. This is usually due to people consuming alcohol or overdosing while on these medications.

Propecia

Propecia is a drug developed for preventing hair loss in men. However it does have a rather unfortunate side effect of gynecomastia. To me and you, that means the growth of breasts in men.

7) Caffeine

That morning cup of coffee could be doing more harm than you thought, and has been found to instigate many medical problems, including insomnia, nausea and nervousness.

6) Monosodium Glutamate

Monosodium Glutamate (Otherwise known as MSG) is an often used flavoring which has been known to have adverse reactions in some people. While MSG has had a lot of complaints made against it, research has shown that many of the people who complain about MSG reactions are not in fact the people who have genuine adverse MSG reactions.

5) Artificial Colors

Artificial color additives are added to huge numbers of products. Some artificial colors are safe, even beneficial. However many food manufacturers have received vast numbers of complaints due to the number of artificial colors in foods, some of which are suspected as causes of cancer.

4) BHA & BHT

BHA & BHT are two commonly used preservatives, even in products which require no preservation. Both these preservatives have serious question marks over their health, and the mass addition of them to produce.

3) Aspartame

Aspartame is one of the most commonly used artificial sweeteners in soft drinks and food. Despite its widespread use, few people realize that one in 20,000 people are unable to tolerate aspartame, and there are some concerns that it can cause mental problems and even cancer.

2) EvaMist

EvaMist is a freely available menopause treatment, which may help reduce menopause symptoms, but can cause cancer, strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, and dementia.

1) Prozac

While Prozac is publicized as a great anti-depressant, however its side effects include nausea, insomnia, headache, diarrhea drowsiness, anxiety, nervousness, decreased sex drive, constipation, vision defects, weight loss, and chest pain. Prozac users also tend to become zombie-fied. All these side affects make it seem pretty hard to believe that this drug can make people feel better, and might also suggest why Prozac has been linked to a higher suicide rate.
