medicine flakes off after it dries

I am still currently using this on my face, but the eczema is almost completely gone! I have eczema on top of acne which poses a great problem when trying to get rid of them. The acne medication flares up the eczema but the eczema medicine (hydrocortisone) does not get rid of the acne. I am also on Doxycycline to clear up the acne while I use the hydrocortisone cream to clear up the eczema.

irritability, depression, anxiety, rage.

I only took 15mg a day for 6 days but after I physically assaulted my daughter's teacher, I realized that I need to stop taking this. I completely lost control. I have all the symptoms of adrenal fatigue and have been desperate to find a quick remedy. I think that I will try herbs and vitamins instead. The bloating kicked in on day 5 and that's what made me realize that my "explosion" was also related to this drug.

Made me feel like hell on wheels. Never again.

I take various medications as I’m disabled, yet this is the worst one I’ve ever taken. I came off Omeprazole 3 days ago and waiting to see if the muscle twitches and eye twitch and one sided head pain will stop. If not I will need to see neurologist, but I only got these issues when I started Omeprazole so I know this is the cause. What worries me is will these side effects ever go away. My anxiety is also through the roof. I wish I’d never touched this drug

OCD, anxiety, insomnia, bipolar

I stopped taking Alendronic Acid (Fosamax) immediately on the advice of my consultant oral surgeon who I was referred to after experiencing dreadful problems in my mouth and jaw. The consultant was appalled that I had been prescribed Alendronic Acid by my G.P. I had been flagged by the National Health as someone who may suffer from osteoporosis sometime in the future and my G.P. called me to see him where he then prescribed the drug without offering me a bone density scan. My G.P. later admitted to me that the drug would have been a contributory factor to my current serious health issues which have left me in a far worse state of health than ever before I started taking the drug.
