Bob, the first part of your statement answers the last part.  Drugs are 
drugs and should be used with restraint.  There is no 'which ones' to 
determine. I think almost all drugs can be harmful if too much is taken 
for too long, even 'natural' drugs like hormones.  The body normally 
regulates things, and if you are adding more, then you are affecting 
various feedback loops creating a chain reaction of issues.
