Diastat (diazepam) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Diastat (diazepam)
drowsiness after I wake up,feel kinda queezy and have to go to the bathroom after I wake up.Feel sluggish for a few hours.
Diastat is the fastest working AED I have ever taken, even though it is rectally applied. Diastat can stop a seizure as quick as 5 to 10 minutes,my results. it just depends on how quick you or someone else can administer the plastic tiped applicator and give you the shot. The seizure just fades away and in my case puts me to sleep.
DIASTAT (DIAZEPAM): This medication is used to treat episodes of increased seizures (such as cluster or breakthrough seizures) in people who are already taking medications to control their seizures. This product is only recommended for short-term treatment of seizure attacks. It is not for ongoing daily use to prevent seizures. Uncontrolled seizures can turn into serious (possibly fatal) seizures that do not stop (status epilepticus). This medication is not recommended for children younger than 6 months of age because of the risk of serious side effects. Diazepam works by calming the brain and nerves. It belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Was on Atenolol but stopped working after 4 years. Switched to Toprol-XL 7 months ago. Keeps heart rate down most of the time but a LOT of side effects. Is making bp very low. Have tried other meds and none keep my heart rate down like Toprol-XL does. Have tried to come off it under doctor supervision but suffer very severe palpitations and irregular heart beat and am given Lopressor at ER and told I need to keep taking it. If anyone has had any luck with any other meds for keeping a high heart rate (200 ) down, please contact me via e-mail. I am always willing to ask my cardiologist to perscribe something different with less side effects.
It will get better, I know it can get scary and thats just part of the panic part of the after affects. Just know your not alone, this has happened to a lot of people. Also, my Dr still refuses to accept that this could of happened. There are too many of us with the same experience to say its not the case.
Relatively effective medication at helping to supress what I would normally call my "starving" apetite. I've been able to lose and keep off about 10 pounds as a result. It's not a miracle, but it helps. When I went off the drug for a while, within a week I was starving again and started putting on weight even though I was concious of what was going on ... hunger sucks.
A co-worker first introduced me to tramadol six months ago. At the time I only took it once a day and it helped alot for relieving my hip pain and it helped me work faster and was friendlier to customers. Over time it only relieved pain for 1-2 hours, or didn't work at all, depending on the severity. When she moved and I was no longer given tramadol, I had a bout of depression and insecurity. I thought it was from PMS, but now reading these ratings I realize it was partly me coming off the dependance of tramadol. I found a doctor and told him of my 20yr ago hip injury in a car accident. He prescribed 50mg 4X daily. I took it as prescribed and it worked great the first dose but any doses after that it gave me a headache and at the end of the day I was dizzy and sleepy. I cut back to 3X a day. If I sit still it makes me sleepy. After 3 wks it lost it's effectiveness so I'm 1 and half pill at a time, or in severe pain 2 at a time. I take 4-6 fiber pills (generic metamucil) before bedtime, and drink lots of water. I love the energy, confidence boosting, and weight loss it has provided me. I don't care about the dependance, I'll be sure to make appointments with the doctor in advance to avoid withdrawal. Maybe he will up the dosage. It affects everyone differently. It makes my hubby sick to his stomach.
Prevent longer bleeding with period
It works just fine, and I can think clearly, stay on task for hours.
Weight loss, weight gain, increased breast size, bloating.
I'm taking Azilect with Mirapex and Sinemet so don't know if it works or not. My insurance changed and now this drug costs over $300 a month. Just can't afford it since there is no generic.
short term side effects were severe headaches, dizzyness. Continued side-effects were loss of apetite, loss of sexual drive, very mild headaches. Extreme thirst.
I have been using Desogen for apporximately 5 months and didn't notice any symptoms until about two months ago when I realize I was gaining weight. About 3 weeks ago though I became very emotional suddenly (I've cried more in the last few weeks then I usually do in about 6 months!-at no particular thing). And around the same time, my libido dropped drastically. I used to be VERY into sex now it is unappealing. My skin is however slightly clearer and my periods are shorter. I did have some spotting. I am looking into a new BC method.
