I have been taking Lybrel for just over a year. I noticed my eyebrows thinning and initially thought it was due to a bad wax job. However, they have continued to thin dramatically. I then noticed my scalp hair thinning. I asked my GYN and my primary care doc and neither thought it was related to the Lybrel. My GYN said that, while taking the Lybrel, my hormones were the most stable they'd ever been, and referred me to a dermatologist. I then looked at the package insert only to find tha...

I am possibly taking agomelatine. I have been on a study for about a month now (there is 1/4 chance I am receiving a placebo.) It might not be related at all but since I am taking this medication, I often wake up in the morning and my penis hurt. As if the blood pressure was too high. Not too sure what to do. It usually dont last more than an hour and I never have this problem during the day, its always early morning and it actually wakes me up because it is so painful.

I have been coughing frequently and violently for approximately 10 years now. I used Flovent for several years and it has not stopped my cough at all.

It got me out of a severe depressive episode, for which I am grateful. However, I still experience bouts of depression, often in the afternoon. So it is likely not a long term solution for me. Also, I don't like the following side effects: Feeling cold all the time, especially in hands Stronger OCD tendencies than normal Moderate paranoia and heightened OCD 2 hours before time for daily dosage Extreme drowsiness if taken in the morning instead of at night (have now been instructed to take...
