1 seizure since starting keppra XR
When I started it, I felt really sluggish and tired for a few days, but other than that, I didn't notice anything.
I'm pretty sure I might be a statistical outlier, but it has not had any effect whatsoever. My neurologist added Vimpat about a month ago, but I still have not noticed any change. If it wasn't for the side effects of both medications, I could've been taking sugar pills and I wouldn't have been any the wiser.
JME Juvenile Myoclonic Seizures
Switched from Depakote to Keppra XR and felt a total 180- like a person not sedated on drugs. It was amazing! Instantly too. Since I am not sedated anymore I have had to deal with anxiety that was an underlying problem, but not side effect. But, have had no issues or grand mal seizures since I started the RX, and it is more baby-friendly than Depakote.

had trouble going to sleep and dry mouth
I've been on stains for 25 years. Mevacor, then Zocor, and for last 5 years or so Liptor. Started at 33 years old with 335 chol and only 35 HDL. After recent tests showed modest blockage, Doctor decided to add Zetia. I had experenced some muscle weakness with liptor, but my cholesterol dropped to 150 and I really feel I would have had a heart attack by now if I wasn't on stains for 25 years. My father died at 55 and uncle at 46. I was willing to deal with minor muscle pain. The zetia turned the minor muscle pain into a nightmare! I could hardly walk up or down stairs. Legs and Arms felt terrible. I called my doctor and he said my liver was fine and my numbers looked great. LDL down to 80!! The muscle pain became unbearable and I called him back. I've stopped both Liptor and Zetia to see what happens. After 2 days much improvement!!! BE CAREFUL WITH ZETIA!! I felt so bad on it, I thought I had Bone cancer!! I need to take something with my family history and modest blockage. Any thoug
I recently took out the nexplanon 12/4/14 me and my fiancé wants to try and have a baby. But I have yet to receive my period. How long should I wait to receive a period
my period has been consistent though compared to Ortho Tri and Lo.
Symptoms coincided precisely with me taking the medication. Little doubt in my mind that two connected. Had no idea that it was such a controversial drug. Only found this out after looking on web (incidentally though, why is it that negative comments on this site about it coincide with Vioxx being pulled?). Regardless, am pretty sure that this drug has problems - certainly with me. Will not be taking again. Symptoms are ongoing (despite stopping a week ago)..
All people react differently to all medications. I decided to try Cymbalta after suffering from chronic pain, which has caused insomnia for many years. The lack of sleep began to affect my day to day mood and life. I was severely depressed and tired all the time. I roughly saw 2-3 hours of sleep a night while taking Ambien to sleep. Since I started Cymbalta, I have had one night of no sleep. The remaining nights have been 6 - 8 hours of restful sleep, even with two nightly trips to restroom. It's amazing how important sleep is to your mood. I became a much happier person in life and to be with. This drug has not stopped my pain, but it is much easier to deal with pain when I'm rested and have a positive outlook. To explain the side effects, the first week I was very nauseated and sleepy. I had a sort of fog surrounding me that went away as I got used to the medication. Remember you will not experience the side effects repeatedly if you remember to take the dose at the same t
Hideous ringing in my ears that lasted and is still lasting. Would NEVER recommend this to anyone. Penicillin is something I would've preferred. I didn't need the antibiotics anyway. Doctor over-treated. No good. No good. :(
Yellow stools and loss of appetite, dry mouth, weight loss
Have to skip every third or fourth day so I can get some sleep.
miimum stimulation needed to achieve a good erection that just keeps getting harder. delays ejaculation, allows you to thrust harder for longer without going too far and orgasming until you are ready to let it happen. stays hard for a few mins after orgasm. totally solves my ed problem. guess i'll just take a couple of pre-emptive aspirin to counter the headaches. it's great.
