I can't wait for the European I.V. presentation of Tylenol to become available in the United States... It will offer another option for fever control.

While one of Gleevec's side affects is diarreha (mine was really severe) I found that by taking 1000mg of vitamin D every other day almost completely stopped it. I didn't find that out until after losing 35 lbs. but if it helps someone else, great. Puffy eyes for 7 years now have made my eyes so beat up looking. Haven't found anything that really helped that. They're totally destroyed now. Swelling throughout my body and face. Sometimes more than others. Joint pain in fingers, feet and muscl... View full comment

Only 3000 mg Lysine/day got rid of the canker sores after weeks. I'll never take penicillin again.

Vivelle-Dot

User Ratings:
5.1	Effectiveness
7.3	Side Effects
6.3	Holistic Benefits

I've developed a lump in my breast since using the patch. I also have sharp pains in both my breasts since using the patch. My vision has become extremely blurred and I have to wear glasses since using the patch. I've been using Vivelle for about 14 months now. It helps with hot flashes, but the price is too high to pay since my vision is still decreasing. I'm going to stop using it.

I take a lot of other medications so i'm not sure if it makes me have all of the side effects, but my cholesterol is not as high so it must be working!

Sertraline Hydrochloride

User Ratings:
3.9	Effectiveness
6.7	Side Effects
5.5	Holistic Benefits

I was hospitalized for a week in February with suicidal depression. I started taking Sertraline Hydrochloride on April 10th and I am a new woman. My depression is non-existent and I am the happiest I have ever been. This medication worked for me. I have had nothing great things to say about it. I took Paxil in the past and the side effects I had were weight gain and bad withdrawals when I missed a dose. I've not experienced that with Sertraline Hydrochloride.
