There are a lot of people who avoid going on medication that they could really benefit from because they are afraid of the side effects of that medication. These fears come from the media, thoughts expressed by their loved ones and general awareness of problems associated with the use of some medications. However, a lot of these fears are based on myths about side effects.

Let’s look at some of those myths:

• Side effects are always going to happen. Many people think that if a drug has side effects then they will absolutely experience them. This isn’t true at all. For example, there are a lot of hgh side effects but plenty of people take hgh without experiencing a single side effect. Side effects are just things that might happen, not things that are guaranteed to happen.
• They have bad luck and will experience the worst side effects. Many people seem to have some strange idea that they’ll always fall into that one percent of people who experience the worst side effects. This percentage is small for a reason and it’s unlikely that you’ll fall into it.
• They’ve had side effects with one drug so they’ll have problems with all drugs. Everyone’s body reacts differently to each medication. You may have a lot of problems with one medication and no problems with another medication.
• Side effects are irreversible. Many side effects are reversible once you stop taking the medication. Others can be treated with different medication.
• Side effects are scary. Most people have huge fears about side effects when really most of them are just a bit uncomfortable. By looking realistically at the information that your doctor provides you with regarding a medication’s side effects, you can drastically reduce your fears.
