Side Effects for Vtama (tapinarof)
I used it for 3 weeks. Started noticng the difference.Then my body started itching and body ache. Left hand and leg numbing.. doctor said stop using it..
This stuff is miraculous. No color, no scent, not greasy, disappears into skin. About 18 days after starting my skin was free from plaques. Where has this been all my life? The pharmacist said if it works, stop using it and start again when you need it. It took 9 weeks to need it again. Nine weeks without thinking about it. Is this a dream? I’m in love!
I got Vtama or Tapinarof from my GP who read a review of it in Dermatology Times. It’s a topical cream with no steroids. It took around 3 weeks to start working and I used it for @ little over three months and I was cleared up. My doctor said to use it again if any more symptoms show up, but it took almost 2 months for that to happen. I love this.

I feel just so out of it when I get IV Benadryl. The first time I had a reaction to it, I couldn't even lift my arm. I also couldn't stop laughing for some reason. The nurses were quite concerned. The nurses now reduced my dose to 20mg and push it over 20 minutes. That makes every thing less severe. It makes reactions go away, though.
I've tried to get off this med 5 times. This time I'm doing it for good or bad. I gained 70 lbs in the 7 yrs I have been taking this medicine. The only time I've lost any of the weight has been the times I've stopped taking it. I go back because the doc says I'm ruining my esophagus...but this time I stopped because I had a 4 wk stomach flu and have just stayed off it. I've lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks without doing much other than eating low fat due to the stomach bug. I'm going with herbal healing this time. Marshmallow Root, Ginger, Digestive Enzymes... and adding skinless apples twice a day. This might take more work than popping a pill once a day, but if I can get off it for good, perhaps I can absorb more of the nutrients in the foods I eat and won't be so darned hungry all the time because my body is starving for nutrition even though I'm overeating!! I've had it with pill popping Gastro docs.
My son has been taking Vyvanse since October 08. He went from being the most disruptive student in his class to being "student of the month" in Dec. It has helped him tremendously to focus and get his work done in school. The down side is the spasms that started about 7-10 days after taking the medication. The spasms are noticable as soon as the medication wears off and lasts for several hours. I don't know if there is anything to do for them except change the medication.
night sweats, fatigue, depression, bloating, dry mouth
I got up the next morning completely recovered from pneumonia, enough to take a law school final exam.
none so far. the pharmacist told me to only take it with food because it would definitely make me sick. i quit taking birth control in september and have not had a period since. never had a problem with irregular periods before, so the doc said this should help get me started. only taking it for 5 days, am on my 3rd day
This was from 7 to age 9. My dosage was moved from 10mg to 15mg to 25 over the two year period. The time taken was move up as well from one time a day to 2 times a day. Do I was able to fight the drugs effects so my dosage was moved up. It is a sedation drug in my opinion but not to help learning for children at all. I would really call this drug calming effects and muscle movement but not anything to do with learning to put a child it a zombie like state dosen't help with learning. Think before putting a child on this drug in other schools or class to help them or make it fun.
Hot Flushes, zero libido, some muscle loss
slight testicular discomfort for less than 5 seconds, around 5 times now
Mixed experience. Good mood stabilization- too good. Zombie syndrome. Lost interest in my former activities. Very narrow range of emotions. Lower doses not effective. HUGE WEIGHT GAIN. WARNING!!!!! More than 60 pounds in two years!!! I can't get it off now. I'm really angry because I've always been petite, now I'm larger wide than tall. I actually have to worry about developing diabetes now.
