Did control blood pressure--it was a sort of last resort effort from the doctor after more than a decade of blood pressure refusing to be under control with multiple, simultaneious drugs. But I had an utterly inappropriate manic ideation. I know it's supposed to remove epinephrine from the system; maybe I had a co-cortisol cascade. I was ready to do harm to self & others; contemplating ridiculous risks; hair-trigger startle response. I know it's not *supposed* to do that, but it was a ver... View full comment

I always use Neosporin for every minor cut I get. It fights to prevent infection and it speeds up healing time. I am extremely satisfied with this product and I will continue to use it in the future.

Lyrica is ok for treating anxiety conditions like GAD. It works well but the confusion/dizziness at dosage above 300mg per day can be a problem.

Lyrica is a good alternative for those who cant tolerate conventional antidepressants or those who would like to avoid the use of benzodiazipines. Lyrica does have withdrawal symptoms on stopping (so I have read) but they are not a... View full comment

You have to start easy with Zyflamend. One a day for a few days. There is nothing in this supplement to warrant stomach pain unless people are misusing. More is not better in this case. This is a very good supplement. Maybe people need to check other supplements for "duplication".

Using Carbilev for many years has improved my quality of life but I needed Sinemet 200mg at night so that I could function if I got up during the night. Was on Pexola for several years then did not do so well and came off and started Stelivo. Stelivo was used with Carbilev for about 6 months. Initially it was wonderful then had a lot of weight loss, panic attacks and feeling very cold and exhausted. Came off very slowly. For a year on Carbilev 5 X 25/100 a day and Sinemet 200mg at night t... View full comment
