Although @Tszunami comes off a bit rough here, his message is pretty clear and should not be ignored by the rest of the people in this thread who seem to be really happy about this post.
Medication is there to solve problems. Through extensive and costly testing, the side effects of the ones that make it are considered to be the "lesser of two evils" compared to what you're taking the medication for.
Yes, the industry is not the best, and in any for-profit business you will have some who value profit over any other moral aspect, but dismissing the whole industry just because of that is dumb.
It's like dismissing vaccines all together due to the potential side effects. The benefits of vaccination far outweighs the very few potential downsides, by an extreme margin.

The clue is, don't take what you don't need. Eat healthy, don't take medication just because you feel like it would help, take it in the cases where the doctor has told you to take it. If you have doubts about your doctor's advice, get another one and ask them what they think, but don't go google "is X medication really good for you?".
Every doctor is a human, and can be wrong. Just be critical, but don't be stupid or biased.

@Jerrybanfield you come off as someone who wants to tell that "medication is bad, just be healthy." While the obvious problem you seem to have had is that you weren't healthy to begin with.
