I've been on Wellbutrin SR for several years, and have a lot of useful experience to share.

I’ve also read in health science for just as long. Since the mid 1990s, I have been personally acquainted with depression, and therefore, have read a fair amount on its causes and treatment. I have also applied my strong orientation to experimen... View full comment

I was forced to take this drug for a colonoscopy after I vehemently told the Dr that I didn't want it and to use a painkiller and not an amnesiac. He told me he knew best and just used Versed. I have IBS, I was wide awake in excrutiating pain, tears were running down my face and I tried to scream that I felt like a weedwhacker was turned on inside of me, but I was totally paralized!!!

I suffered from general anxiety disorder, mild OCD, and occasional depression and went on Lexapro when I was 18. After about 2 weeks I started noticing improvement and after about 6 weeks I noticed the full effects. My anxiety caused me to have a lot of problems going to sleep and after starting lexapro those issues went away and I was able to sleep much better. My anxiety, OCD, and depression are no loner a factor in my life at all. I have been taking 10 mg lexapro every day for about 4 year... View full comment

I had a cold and I head that zicam shortens the length of colds, so I took it and it did help some, but the nasal swaps are really awkward to use.

It worked for my cough pain. It just made me severely sleepy so I could only take 1 dose a day to function. And it also made me have some realistic nightmares which may show I'm sensitive to the drug.
