ISORDIL (ISOSORBIDE DINITRATE): Isosorbide dinitrate is used to prevent chest pain (angina) in patients with a certain heart condition (coronary artery disease). This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily to the heart. This medication will not relieve chest pain once it occurs. It is also not intended to be taken just before physical activities (such as exercise, sexual activity) to prevent chest pain. Other medications may be needed in these situations. Consult your doctor for more details. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Ok, what the heck did they do to the Excedrin?? I never use to feel like this and have taken it for years until they took it off the market. The taste of it is even different then it use to be and im so unhappy with it now. Bring back the old Excedrin's as most of us don't like the new one at all.

Shooo I am so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this thick cottage cheese like discharge. Last night I had my last dose, the cheesy discharge came on day 1 and at day 3, it had some tiny blood or cloths that's when I went to the Doc and Googled. So glad that other women have had the same experience. It has cleared the itching, the discharge remains but the doctor said it'll all return to normal in a couple of days.

I was taking Nexium to help reduce chest pain my Dr. thought was brought on by GERD. The joint paid showed up the second week of taking one pill a day and the chest pain was still present. My Dr. told me to start taking 2 pills a day, which I did for just over one day when I got the worst flu symptoms I have ever known, with sweats, chills, vomitting, and diarrhea. I stopped taking all meds for several days until I felt better. I have not taken Nexium since, but did try taking a related drug, Prilosec. I got joint pain on the 4th day and stopped taking it on the 5th day. The joint pain cleared in 2 days.

I was on yaz for about three years for PMDD. After I started taking an antidepressant i could no longer afford Yaz and the reduced cost health clinic put me on micronor for much cheaper and because i was getting frequent headaches. I use an alarm on my cell phone to remind me to take my pill at 9am every day.

What I have found though is I have become constipated and lots of hair loss which I never put down to the Glucophage...can it be? I have now started on Antagolin and wondered if it's okay to take with my meds...I'm on 1000mg twice a day. Is it safe to take on long term?

For first few weeks yawning, drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea - all stopped within a few weeks. Still sleep more than I used to but i dont get drowsiness if i take it in the afternoon or evening.

chronic anxiety (with Wellbutrin)

In the begining I thought it was wonderful. but slowly but surely my son began to suffer in school. unable to focus or complete tasks. He just became irritable and extra hyper. His grades began to suffer Especially in the area of mathematics. It works because he never had to use an inhaler. The problem is the side effects. So I took him and his sister off the meds and am TRUSTING GOD for their complete healing. I'll point out my son has not had to use an inhaler since being off the meds for almost a month. My daughter ,5, has been extremely irritable and angry. that why I took my daughter off the meds. She had only been on them maybe 1 and 1/2 year give or take a few months.

After years of trying a variety of medications to improve my chronic fatigue, my doctor finally perscribed me Provigil. I've found it to be a complete lifesaver and have gone from sleeping 16 hours a day and not being able to attend school to sleeping 9 or 10 hours a day and being able to attend a top ranked college.

The medication was administered via IV after surgery because the nurse suggested a "new" medication for nausea.I think she gave me too much medication. I could not keep my eyes open and several times I would wake up from sleep feeling like I would stop breathing. I could hear people talking but I could not open my eyes. I couldn't even nurse my baby because I had no use of my arms. I told my mother several times I was afraid to truly go to sleep because I felt I would never wake up! It took 12 to 15 hours to wear off and I still felt groggy for another day. I would definitely NOT recommend to take this medication! I would have much rather been vomiting than feel like I was about to die.
