There is no way to really say that anyone of them is safer than any other. They all come with the risk of side effects and some people have better luck with them than others do.

What is safe for you can also depend on your medical history, current medical conditions and what other medications you are taking.

Has your doctor suggested anything?

Some of the most popularly used are:
