I was irritated with things that normally wouldn't bother me, from my boss, to the kids, to the soccer coach, then spending the rest of the time feeling awful for how I responded to them. I had the hormones levels checked and since my body is running efficiently as ever, my doctor suggested Citalopram hydrobromide in 10 mg for the first two weeks. The dry mouth was only the first four or five days and is no longer a side effect. Now week three is 15, or 3/4's of the pink pill. I can tell... View full comment

I recieved a cortiosone injection in my shoulder yesterday and almost 5 minutes after having it done I had nausea and the worst headache I have ever had. I also was very weak. I tried to work but had to come home and once I did a slept from 2pm - 8pm when I woke up with a 102.1 fever. I took 1000 mg of tylenol and it still didnt break my fever. I slept again from 10pm until 8am the next day. Still had bad headache and very drowsy, at 9am I went back to sleep until 2pm. This medicine was very... View full comment

Iron tablets really put a cork in my system, it was kind of like having a weight gainer in a huge, hard-to-swallow pill. EWW

I think this drug was just pushed onto people because its a "non" stimulant, not because it worked. Iam 25 and have ADHD Inattentive. I already had a problem with anxiety,being tired, not being able to focus, and never having any motivation. Strattera just seemed to make everything worse! Although I must say it helps with anxiety...but I was so tired (constantly yawning ALL day) I didnt really care about anything. I hate feeling high (smoking pot) and this drug made me completely hi... View full comment

I ENDED MY PRESCRIBED 5-YEAR PERIOD OF TAKING TAMOXIFEN (100 MG PER DAY) APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. RIGHT AFTER STOPPING THE MEDICATION, I STARTED EXHIBITING SIGNS OF ELEVATED INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE OF CEREBROSPINAL FLUID (CSF). MY EYE DOCTOR NOTICED THIS DURING MY ANNUAL EYE EXAM, AND THEN SENT ME TO A NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGIST FOR MONITORING. DURING THE LAST 8 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 3 LUMBAR PUNCTURES, HEAD CT SCAN, HEAD MRI, THEN HEAD MRI WITH VENOGRAPHY (TO RULE OUT A BRAIN TUMOR), TWO EYE SURG... View full comment

Unlike flonase, I don't seem to end up with as much of a dry nose problem. I like this. It also seems to burn a lot less when taking nasally.

I used Levora (Nordette generic) for over 5 years and it was great. However, I really like the idea of less periods. I have only taken it for a few weeks so I am not sure yet how I feel about Seasonique. I have expereinced some pretty extreme anxiety which I cannot attribute to any external situations (things are actually pretty calm in my life right now). I have also had some strange and scary dreams lately. I know that it takes a while for a body to become accustomed to hormones so I will s... View full comment
