To save everyone some time, the five are:
1. Proton Pump Inhibitors
Known as PPI’s, proton pump inhibitors are commonly prescribed for acid reflux. You may be familiar with their brand names Nexium, Prevacid, and Prilosec.
2. Prednisone
Prednisone is a multi-tasking steroid often prescribed for autoimmune conditions... It suppresses the body’s natural immune response that causes it to attack itself, but at the same time it is literally compromising your immune system
3. Statins
Side effects can include headaches, insomnia, muscle aches, nausea, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and rash. But the risks of long-term statin use are even more serious.
4. Antidepressants
Side effects are plentiful and include weight gain, low libido, nausea, problems sleeping, constipation, irritability, and anxiety. But for adolescents and children taking antidepressants, there’s also a heightened risk of suicide, making the drug very dangerous.
5. Opioids
Because of their highly addictive nature, even people who are prescribed opioids for a brief time (such as for post-operation recovery) can very easily become addicted and begin abusing their prescriptions.
