saying, 'i have acid reflux and my doctor put me on prevacid, it did ______ for me' is just fine, but saying, 'you have acid reflux, you should take prevacid because it worked for me' is not.

there is to much misinformation floating around with drugs, we don't want to make it worse here. there are many things to keep in mind when going on drugs, doctors are the only ones qualified to weight both pros and cons of medicines because they have a complete picture of the persons medical history. even if you were a doctor, it would be inappropriate to suggest treatments with out qualifying it by advising them to discuss that method with there doctor, who knows there medical history.
