Side Effects for Temovate (clobetasol propionate)
I don't use this regularly, but keep it for when I have reactions to things (I am allergic to many substances and am prone to folliculitis flare ups, esp. During times of stress). This is a miracle for itching. Doesn't even compare to over the counter hydrocortisone, which does nothing for me.
Slight tingle when applying to the areas on scalp
This really hepled with the itchy, flaking in about 3 days!! Now I use a couple of times a week to help with the flares.
After 5 days of application (twice a day), caused an allergic skin reaction: painful and itchy blisters. Doctor prescribed antihistamine (with side effect of somnolence/drowsiness) subsequently but no additional topical treatment. Skin blisters became dry, scaly, ugly-looking subsequently.
Hopefully, with the anti-histamine the allergic reaction shall subside. Will need a more effective treatment for the original problem of eczema.
peeling, itchiness, oiliness in skin, acne on my scalp
way too strong, get rid of the dermatitis fast, but it creates more problems that looks like it invites the psoriasis to come back. Temovate made matters on my scalp worse. Better to go with a medium potency whenever possible.

I was 140 lbs. and desire to lose 20 lbs. I was advised by dr. to take 1/2 a tablet in morning & other 1/2 midday. After a wk., I knew this was an overdose for my body size. I decided to take only 1/2 a pill each morning. This dosage works perfectly for me. I am seldom hungry, have great energy, and I love my SKY HIGH sex drive. I am worried that my sex drive will diminish over time with cintinued use of this drug. My husband is elated with my constant desire for sex. I have lost 10 lbs. in 3 weeks and feel quite sexy. I feel like I can reach my goal while taking this drug. It will be a challenge, once I have reached my goal and discontinue use of this drug, to keep my weight down, I fear. I also want to keep my high sex drive. But I feel pretty sure I shouldn't take this drug for a long duration. It can't be good for your heart.
Hot Flashes. Some Weight gain.
Worked wonders on my huge cold sore; however, the metallic taste was unbearable. It felt like I am licking a metal dumbbell non-stop. Needless to say, brushing my teeth, gum chewing and drinking water excessively didn't help at all.
MASSIVE WEIGHT GAIN, RUINED MY EYESIGHT, MEMORY LOSS, LOW WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT
Horrible nightmares. Anxiety. Panic. Affected brain/thoughts. Colic/constipation/diarrhea - yes, turned GI upside down. Vision got worse, haven't recovered.
It does help if you stick to a healthy plan.
The only good thing is it keeps you hungry.

Had absolutely no side effects and felt fine. I'm adding this as I felt really worried after reading these reviews but took it for a urinary tract infection. Got rid of the infection and didn't react to these at all and I normally get side effects from antibiotics.
