Zoloft

5	Effectiveness
6.3	Side Effects
6.1	Holistic Benefits

During the first week I took half a dose and experienced a pretty strong distaste to all foods. Even when I was hungry, the sight and smell of food made me feel sick. This went away during the second week. My only other side effect is that I don't sleep as much as I used to. Also, it tends to wear off suddenly between doses. I'm sure that has to do with my not finding the proper dosage for me (I've only been on it for about 4 weeks), but that is something to keep in mind when considering... View full comment

Prednisone

5.9	Holistic Benefits

It was very helpful in stopping the inflammation of my hives. I had to take it for almost a week but it was effective as soon as I was finished with the prescription. My hives were completely gone by the end of the week. The only problem I had with Prednisone was the after taste. It made me dread taking the medicine.

I have suffered from Menier's disease for 13 years. Despite the ups and downs of this condition, i did not let it control my life. My advice to sufferers: Exercise regularly Avoid salt at all costs Avoid Cigarettes Avoid Alcohol Take your tablets regularly Forget about the condition: The more you think about it, the more you get upset and depressed Enjoy your life fully Avoid reading too much about the condition on the Internet When you have an attack, lie down and sleep if you fee...

Wellbutrin XL

6.3	Holistic Benefits

I had just started to try antidepressants. I was first described the generic brand of Wellbutrin XL by Tevic. I had less pain almost immediately after starting on the low dose. I had some strange "rush" like sensations. It was almost too much. Then some snapping at the bit about mid day. Within two weeks I was itching severely and could not stop. It took about 5 weeks before I was back to normal. After trying another med that had failed, but doctor prescribed me the Brand name Wel... View full comment

I read multiple reviews on multiple websites about this pill when I was two weeks into my first pack. This pill was in fact the worst one I have tried as far as making you get sick. I had to take a prescription medication just to get rid of the nausea for about three days...BUT I stuck it out, and I am happy to say that after the first pack, it gets much much easier to digest. I am on my third pack now, and hardly get any sickness anymore (usually only get it if I take it on the run without f... View full comment

Yaz

6.1	Holistic Benefits

I love Yaz- since being on Yaz, my overall moods have become more stable, and my appetite has become more regular. However, I still notice a significant change about a week prior to my period. I crave starchy, sugary foods, and I still get extremely tearful and emotional.
