VOTRIENT (PAZOPANIB HYDROCHLORIDE): Pazopanib is used to treat kidney cancer. It may also be used to treat certain other types of cancer (soft tissue sarcoma). Pazopanib belongs to a class of drugs known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by decreasing the blood supply to the cancer tumor to slow tumor growth. This medication should not be used in children, especially younger than 2 years of age, because of the risk of serious side effects. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

This should be pulled from the shelves and onley given by a doctor who has checked you out first.
If I use it too much I become immune to it. that is VERY rare.
Close to a miracle drug for me - vastly improved social confidence, feelings of "happiness" as opposed to the wretchedness and despair of deep depression. Much improved anxiety control. Much better sleep. If it were not for the sexual side effects, which end up with me not even wanting to be hugged or kissed either, I would stay on this drug FOREVER. However, I'm trying out Pristiq to see if I can achieve something with OK effects without total sexual dysfunction. Have tried tons of others with disastrous consequences. If Pristiq doesn't work well, I will head straight back to lexapro and my husband and I will just keep on working on ways to have a relationship that don't revolve around me being responsive. It's SO hard being forced to choose between dealing with my problems and creating a huge marriage problem. (Don't get me wrong, we have a very long and loving marriage, but it's sure hard being like this!) Otherwise I love, love, love how Lexapro makes me feel.

Extreme dizziness and tremors.
Rythemol made me feel worse and did nothing for my chronic AFib. Had a cardioversion 8 months ago. My heart stayed steady for 7 months before the AFib returned. My cardiologist put me on Rythmol (225 mg twice a day). Before taking the drug the only effect I felt from the AFib was slight shortness of breath when I began exercising. After a couple of minutes of exercise the shortness of breath disappeared. I called the doctor's office today and was told to discontinue taking Rythmol and return to taking digoxin. Not sure what the next step will be, possibly ablation.
I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS DRUG TO MY WORST ENEMY!!!!
