Toprol is very effective and keeps my heart rate low, which is what I need it to do. I just wish there was a way to take this medication and not be tired all the time. I assume it is such a problem because of the high dosage I am on, but I still would love to have more energy regardless.

I thought I was going to die. This went on for months. To me, the proof that this was a systemic candida infection lies... View full comment

Hi. I read your review of Opana. You were on 60mg of oxycontin, and changed to 5mg of Opana, then had sweating, loss of appetite, no engery, etc. This is NOT because the opana is problematic. It is because your dr. put you on WAY too low of a dose of opana (oxymorphone). Opana is 5 to 7 times stronger than oxycontin mg per mg. That means he should have put you on at least 10mg of opana. The symptoms you described were clearly withdrawl symptoms from switching to much less opiates. Try opana... View full comment

I recommend Zyrtec to anyone who has problems with allergies. No other allergy medication I've taken has been as helpful and effective as Zyrtec.
