Use common sense and check with a professional herbalist, naturopath or, at the very least, somebody at the health food store. A lot of it depends on the meds you take and what you're trying to accomplish with herbals.
Herbal therapies are very effective, but it's best to have the guidance of a professional.

Yes, most of them do. For example, I am very sensitive to chamomile. If I make a cup of chamomile tea and drink it, I usually will become depressed within the next two days for no known reason (other than the tea). It took me weeks to figure that one out too. Ginseng is a wonderful herb, but it has bad withdrawal symptoms (like mysterious headaches and inexplicable fatigue) if you take it continuously or often (I think that is because it's a stimulant). Some herbs increase your sexual appetite, some decrease it. Many have an effect on the mood. Be careful when you take herbs and take breaks from them from time to time. And thoroughly research them before you take them for possible side-effects. Good night!

As has been said everything has a side effect. If you are refering to "natural" remedies they not only have side effects, but aren't regulated by the FDA and may have a strong effect one time and virtually nothing the next. Be very cautious when believing what sales people tell you.

absolutely. Pretty much any medicine natural or not has an undesired side effect. You need to research them at a trusted website. On top of that, there can be interactions between different medicines.

Take Glucosamine and Chondroitin mixture. it really is meant to rebuild the worn cartilage contained in the joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin are both products synthetic contained in the body, if the body stops generating then the outcome's arthritis. Supplementing with the necessary dosage of glucosamine and chondroitin, will actually help.

100 % every medicine which we use if not according to our true prescription will have its side effects.
