Topicort (desoximetasone) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Topicort (desoximetasone)
This is probably the best drug for eczema there is. I have tried most of the drugs out there for atopic eczema and this one worked the best. Protopic and Elidel sucked and didn't do anything for me...all they did was make my skin burn like hell and my clothes greasy. Other than taking the right medicine, the REAL solution to eczema is find out what foods or environmental factors are triggering the outbreaks and stopping them. A scratch test from an allergist did wonders in finding out that I was allergic to dust, smoke, milk, dogs, cats, and many other things. A majority of doctors (especially HMO) won't tell you this secret information because they want to keep you suffering so they and the drug companies keep making money off of you. Do not use this medicine on your face, around your armpits, or inner thighs---use a milder steroid for those areas like over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.

I was tired for the first 2 days, but now wake up feeling pretty good.
It has been 3 - 4 years since I took Mirapex and I still have the twitching going on - though not as severely. Once I got off the drug, the desire to play games on my phone vanished. (I have never been a video game player.) This is a scary drug that impacts cognition. I'm amazed it is still on the market.
Extreme difficulty achieving orgasm.
I had suffered from fingernail fungus for ten years, which was not only unsightly but painful: my nails would catch on things and pull and bleed. Lamisil cleared it in eight weeks! My doctor didn't even advise a blood test, since it's recommended that you test after six months and I wasn't on the drug that long.Also, I don't drink at all, ever, so I was less worried about liver effects.
headache, sinus pain, chest pain.
Spots, Sex drive non existent, weight gain & spotting/bleeding
I do get BioTe pellets and I love them ... I thought the progesterone would only add to them, but nope! Also was out on NP thyroid and it made me feel weird also... only had "borderline low" labs, so I don't think I need replacement ... stopped taking that too!
Like many i've noticed lack of concentration,forgetfulness and tiredness.Can sleep almost 20hrs a day and still feel tired.Also noticed it has cut my ability to share everyday things with friends and people around me.Sudden mood swings lke surfing i suppose.For a while i can on the top of the wave the next i can be drowning in sympathy.Not for others but for myself.I've been taking 1500mg for almost 18months and when i tried to cut down i couldn't cope with everyday situation but knowing how it makes me feel i'd rather bare it.Sometime confusing as i can't really say if it comme depakote as i'm taking paroxatine for depression and alprozolam for anxiety.
Worst is development of asthma -like bronchospasms and violent allergic response to wood smoke, etc. Am also getting severe dyspnea when I take some oral medications. Muscle cramps, pain and neuropathy symptoms.
The shot pretty much puts your body into a reversible type of menopause: No periods, but all the other crappy stuff comes with it. I'm Afro-American, so the bone loss problem generally won't affect me. My mate and I are poor college students, and condoms tend to be expensive so I'll stick with it:) Thank you, Planned Parenthood.
