STRIBILD (COBICISTAT; ELVITEGRAVIR; EMTRICITABINE; TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL FUMARATE): This product is used to help control HIV infection. It helps to decrease the amount of HIV in your body so your immune system can work better. This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and improves your quality of life. This product contains 4 different medications: elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir. Elvitegravir is known as an integrase inhibitor. Cobicistat helps elvitegravir work better. Emtricitabine is called a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, while tenofovir is called a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor; they are often called NRTIs. Elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir is not a cure for HIV infection. To decrease your risk of spreading HIV disease to others, do all of the following: (1) continue to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor, (2) always use an effective barrier method (latex or polyurethane condoms/dental dams) during all sexual activity, and (3) do not share personal items (such as needles/syringes, toothbrushes, and razors) that may have contacted blood or other body fluids. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I am bipolar. I manage it with meds and I have been doing great and for the first time in my life I felt so normal and was so happy. Then I got the Lupron shot. I can't stop crying. I yell at my husband and daughter all the time. My moods are so unbearable. I am so miserable. The last time I felt this depressed I almost committed myself. I feel so awful about the way I am acting around my family. I JUST got my life in order for the first time ever and now I feel like all is lost and so hopeless. I don't want to have the next shot. I can't deal with this.
Brusing, body hair loss, bleeding from my tongue when brusing my teeth even though the warfarin is at normal (INR 2.0)levels. General malaise.
Advised to take Benadryl for post nasal drip from a bad cold. Immediately I felt my mood change and became jittery, restless, anxious, panicky, and could not sleep. I felt jacked up - like I had taken a stimulant. I could not feel anything on my skin. Awful experience for me. Everyone's reaction is different.
After 5 days of Aciphex:: bloated feeling; non-stop burping and farting; stomach cramps; frequent and loose stools; tightness in chest; aching across shoulder and back. Symptoms disappeared 1 day after taking myself of the pills.
As I age, I'm afraid of all medications.
has worked rather well for me. had read a lot of negative stuff but was felling bad enough to try any way. glad i did. was on welbutrin before but couldnt sleep. switched to effexor and now i sleep like a rock, best sleep ive had in years. the side effects that are annoying for me is being tired and yawning a lot. i have to keep busy to curb these efffects. tried switching the time i take it from the morning to evening. it helped some. the best thing is im finally starting to feel "normal". my wife said i used to be like a "jumping bean" always in a good mood and ready to go. after the death of my grandmother 5 yrs ago, whom i was very close to, that jumping bean went away and i turned into something else. could care less about doing anything or even talking to anybody. those days are at a close now. still have bad days but not even close to what they used to be. for me effexor has been great so far.
