Bad Med Reviews - A thought...???

[87sal87]

I'm one of these people who has abit of a 'med phobia' - I'm always scared to try new meds incase they make me ill/allergic reaction etc.

But I have noticed whenever I look up any med, there's always LOADS of negative & scary reviews about it & rarely any good ones. Which of course, put's me off even further.

It's the same with the hair dye I buy sometimes, there's always negative reviews about reactions but not everyone can be like that surely...

So I was wondering, do you think people only bother to review a med/product if they've had a bad experience with it?
Do people not feel the need to have a say if anything went okay?

What do you guys think? If so, I think more people should share their positive experiences so that they don't put people off...

People remember bad things because it protects them in the future, you know survival lol
Also people feel a greater need to post a review if they have had a bad experience in order to protect others.


personally I have never reviewed any thing online besides giving seller and packaging feedback on Amazon.co.uk.

i agree with you, people who are feeling well are too happy living their lives to worry about writing reviews. I know when i previously had a good response to escitalopram i didn't even consider writing a good review.. perhaps selfish, but also just enjoyed being normal!x
