I do not think that Yesterdays can do that - the pros part, to be exact, because he does not have any data to go off of.

So he does not have a list of pros, but he does have have a list of cons, so he needs to start collecting a list of cons (if they apply to him in the case of the currently prescribed medications). Yesterdays cannot know, ex ante, whether there would be pros to outweigh the cons.
The only way to collect a list of pros and cons is by trying to take the medications regularly. No, not on faith, not believing that they would or would not help, but just in a calm manner as a data collection exercise.
