Three separate times, I have overdosed on fluoxetine because I was feeling depressed or anxious. The first time I took a 150% dose, and it just made me feel extremely anxious and weird; I cried a lot. A year later, I took 200% dose, and I barely noticed a difference. The next day I took 300% dose, and I was afraid of what it would do to me, so I threw it up. Don't overdose on this stuff.

She has always been a very sweet person that would do anything for anyone. Now she is being so hateful to everyone in... View full comment

Lupron Depot was presented to me after my laparoscpy as a means to continue to heal my body from my fibroids and endometriosis. I was convinced by my doctor that this was the normal treatment and this would increase my odds for pregnancy and reduce my pain for 3-5 years.. I had the shot every three months for 6 months, totaling 3 shots. I still suffer from cramps and now worse. I have chronic fatigue, lost chunks of my hair, gained about 40 pounds, I suffer from terrible headaches and join... View full comment
