flipfrog says "I suffer" about Benadryl Allergy Medicine

flipfrog — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:05:11 GMT

This medicine rocks, I suffer from extreme allergies and if I have nothing else I use this. The only reason I wait until I have nothing else though is because this medication makes me extremely sleepy for almost 12 hours. But it absolutlely works and that is all I have to say about this medication .. fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih dfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj faosdfjioewnskd lalierih fjadfoiewanrfeioisj...

etcountry says "This is a scam with only the owners getting rich. These are the " about Nexagen USA Jen Fe Power Patch

etcountry — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:55:46 GMT

Has anyone ever considered these are the same people who came out with the pyramid scheme diet pill and got closed down, now they try it this way? Has anyone ever asked the owners at their sales metings where they discuss all the money you can make selling their product not anyhting about losing weight, WHY THEY ARE ALL SO OVERWEIGHT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS??????????????

This is a scam. The product is way over priced and only they are getting rich quick. Go to one of their sale meetings where they sell you everything right down to buttons for your shirt, they give you nothing free, not even advice. They are all over weight but claim to have been doing this for years so why are they not all in shape?

byubakers says "NeilMed cured my chronic sinus infections!" about NeilMed Sinus Rinse

byubakers — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 06:52:31 GMT

I have really bad allergies and used to get the worst sinus infections. I saw an allergist and an ear nose and throat specialist after years of sinus infections and lots of antibiotics that never seemed to work very well to clear them up. They all recommended this NeilMed Sinus Rinse. Now I use it everyday and I don't get sinus infections anymore. It even helps me avoid getting colds, and when I do get them, I get over colds much faster because of using this. One packet of the salt solution restores your normal ph balance so you can actually use 1 1/2 packets every once in a while if you get really clogged up to kill any bacteria and get your sinuses cleaned out. I highly recommend this product! I have bought it for several friends and family members. Took a little getting used to at the beginning, and I got it in my throat once or twice until I figured out how not to, but I would say FOR SURE the easiest way I've found to use it is every morning in the shower... less messy and you're...

lilpn79 says "I will never use regular Tylenol anymore." about Tylenol Extra Strength Tylenol Rapid Release

lilpn79 — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:02:40 GMT

Extra Strength Tylenol Rapid Release came to my attention when I sent my husband to the store to get me something for a splitting headache. He came back with Rapid Release Tylenol, Extra Strength. I never thought that they would work very well but I can say that after I took two of them my headache was gone within twenty to thirty minutes. Not like the regular Tylenol that is powered coated with that nasty medicine taste. The Rapid release is a capsule not a compressed powder. It goes down very easily and I usally have to take more than two doses to get my headache to go away with the regular Tylenol. Of couse every fours hours but with the Rapid Release I found myself only having to take one dose. It was about the same price of the regular Tylenol but it does not come in large amounts. I have only seen one hundred count and that was fine with me. Thank you Tylenol for making Rapid Release!!! Regular Tylenol is not in my house anymore!

morrow1411 says "I was able to stop smoking with NicoDerm CQ! " about NicoDerm NicoDerm CQ

morrow1411 — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:18:20 GMT

I used to smoke. Notice I said "used". I was a smoker for 12 years, and was up to smoking almost two packs a day. I didn't think that I could stop but, one day I decided that enough was enough and I went cold turkey. The next two days was less then pleasent. Honestly, I don't know how anyone could stand to be around me. Knowing that I was out of control, and yelling for no reason I broke down and bought a box of NicoDerm CQ stage 1 patches. The box set me back $40.00, for week supply. The peel, and stick patches are easy to use, and they are clear. However, I did burn, and itch at the site for the first ten minutes after applying the patch. Was the burning, and itching worth it? Yes, it was! I didn't need a cigarette. The worst part about the patch was having to remove it. It will pull the fine hairs that you didn't know was there. Over all it was well worth it. After eight weeks, I started forgeting to put a patch on. The program last for 10 weeks with a total of 3 stages. I had my last...

abcd1e says "Nuvaring made me depressed!" about Nuva Ring Birth Control

abcd1e — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:41:06 GMT

I do not suggest this birth control at all, it really messed me up! I switched to nuvaring because I am not very good at taking a pill at the same time everyday. But after about 2 months I had to take it out and go back to loestrin 24 (very good birth control!) Nuvaring made me very depressed. I am a usually happy, social college student and nuvaring made me reclusive and sad all the time. I sat in my dorm room all day doing nothing. I would call my friend and start crying for no reason at all. I haven't felt the same since.

amirek says "Astepro is HORRIBLE--makes you nauseous!" about Astepro Nasal Spray

amirek — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:16:44 GMT

I've been using Astelin for years, and it's been effective until the last year or two, when I noticed that it doesn't seem as effective anymore. Tried Fluonase (increased my blood pressure) and Nasonex (not at all effective--caused thick mucuous drainage, couldn't sleep at night), decided to stick with the Astelin. But, my doctor recommended Astepro, saying that it didn't have the "bad" aftertaste that Astelin did. She assured me the product was exactly the same except for the taste.

Astepro is HORRIBLE--it makes you nauseous! I never really had a big issue with the Astelin. It doesn't taste good, but if one uses the nasal spray as directed, the Astelin doesn't cause excessive post nasal drip, and as such, there is no taste. The Astepro, on the other hand, has a very cloying, annoying taste of artificial sugar. And, it DOES cause excessive post nasal drip--which tastes like kool aid pouring from your sinuses. It made me feel ill almost instantly. Who the heck wants to taste sugary snot...

cujojaws says "Claritin D 24 hour allergy and congestion worth extra $$$." about Claritin D 24 Hour Allergy and Congestion Tablets

cujojaws — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:11:36 GMT

Claritin D 24 hour allergy and congestion tablets are worth the extra money and time it takes to get them. It is a bit of a hassle to have to go the pharmacy, however Claritin works the best. It may seem a little more expensive but if you consider that you only need to take one every twenty-four hours, it actually averages out on price. I have taken Claritin D for about 5 months now and noticed that i personally do not get that "jittery" feeling that I get from other sinus medicines. It takes about an hour to work but then it keeps working for the full 24 hours. I have had sinus and allergy problems for years and this works the best and longest. I have also noticed that it seems I do not have to take it every day. When taking other medicines I needed to take it quite often and with Claritin D 24 hour I only need to take it every two or three days, even on the really high allergen days. The store brand of this product does not work nearly as well either.

pitcherday says "I could have ended up with a DUI. Thanks Ambien." about Ambien Zolpidem Tartrate Medication

pitcherday — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 22:05:44 GMT

I have a horrible time sleeping, so I took Ambien. I started to mysteriously gain weight. It was because I was "sleep eating." Not a few cookies or some candy. How about an entire rotisserie chicken and a cherry pie? I was eating SO much food! I was eating more than I even thought could fit in my stomach. How was I not vomiting? I didn't figure it out until I woke up with pie all over my night shirt. I had just assumed the other residents of the house were eating the food. I had total amnesia for the event. I had conversations and wrote emails while sleeping. No memory.

Then one night I was jarred awake by my frantic husband. "You drove to the grocery store! You went shopping! I couldn't find you!" Well the groceries were on the kitchen table, but I didn't remember buying them. Wow. I don't know what my driving skills were like, but I have news... the Law doesn't care because driving on Ambien is still a DUI. I didn't get caught, or thankfully, kill anyone, but that was pretty much the...

KDkidsRN says "Veramyst is the best nasal allergy spray out there" about Veramyst Fluticasone Furoate

KDkidsRN — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:44:54 GMT

Veramyst, otherwise known generically as Fluticasone Furoate, is a newer prescription nasal allergy spray on the market. I am an NP and prescribe this drug daily. Additionally, I use it daily. One spray to each nostril works pretty well per day for me but adults can go up to 2 sprays/day -- at once or divided twice per day. It's approved for kids older than 2 and is on the formulary for most insurances. GlaxoSmithKline also provides samples and coupons to most physicians and nurse practitioners so don't forget to ask at your next visit. I love it because it works where you need it the most -- locally at the nose. Also, it is the only nasal allergy spray approved by the FDA for eye allergy symptoms such as watery, itchy eyes. I think it works better than my daily allergy pill. Only real side effects would be a bloody nose since it is a nasal steroid but I've never had a problem.

Jo says "My burn's First Aid was A + D " about A + D First Aid Ointment Skin Protectant

Jo — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:13:31 GMT

Just a few days before our son's wedding I burned my hand while heating up food. It was a nasty burn. Although I had products in our medicine cabinet I wanted to try something new so I bought a 1.5 ounce tube of A+D First Aid Ointment Skin Protectant for under $5.00.

The claims

Made by Shering-Plough in the U.S.A. the company claims that A+D First Aid Ointment Skin Protectant is good for cuts, dry cracked skin, burns, scrapes, chapped lips and that it helps protect our skin from the affects of wind and cold weather.

Warnings and Ingredients

A+D First Aid Ointment Skin Protectant is for external use only and we are warned not to get the ointment in our eyes. We are also told that this is not for animal bites and serious burns or medical conditions.

The active ingredients are lanolin and petroletum which are skin protectors. I am not sure I would use this on my lips frankly because of the petroletum.

The inactive ingredients are cod liver oil which has Vitamins A & D, fragrance, light...

bethanymaxwell85 says "Helps curb my depression" about Celexa Citalopram 40mg

bethanymaxwell85 — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:14:19 GMT

I have been taking perscription anti-depressants on and off for over 10 years. When my insurance denied my request for Lexapro, which had been working for me, my doctor perscribed me generic Celexa (citalopram) instead. I have been happy with how it has been helping me. I stopped taking it for a few months while I was pregnant and found myself in a very bad place. I went back on it and have been taking it ever since. I took it through both of my pregnancies and while breast-feeding. While it is not advisable to do so, I haven't had any negative side effects and both of my children are healthy and thriving. I am very grateful that the generic version of Celexa is available as it is affordable and works just the same. I haven't had any negative side effects, though if I forget to take it for 2 days, I do get a bad headache that subsides once I take it. I would recommend this medication to those struggling with clinical depression. It isn't a magic pill or a cure all, but it does help to lift...

ladym33 says "Benefiber Keeps Me Fibered Up" about Benefiber Fiber Supplement Powder

ladym33 — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:53:49 GMT

Most of us don't get enough fiber and that includes me. So I supplement my fiber using Benefiber Non Thickening Powder. The Fiber supplements have come a long way in the last few years, they used to be gritty and disgusting, and no matter how hard I tried I could not get a full serving of it down.

The Benefiber of today is wonderful. It dissolves in to what ever you are drinking and you barley even notice it is there. It just blends in. There is no grit, thickness, or aftertaste at least not for me.

One serving for adults is 2 teaspoons. For optimall health you would take tht3 times daily, Children from 6 to 11 years of age can take 1 teaspoon 3 times per day. The Benifiber will go well with 4 to 8 oz of hot or cold liquid and can even be added to creamy foods such as yogurt. Each 2 teaspoon serving is 15 calories, but there is no fat added. It will provide you with 3 grams of per serving, so you still need to get some fiber in your diet to get the recommended amount....

fallawake says "Mucinex DM Max Strength not worth side effects" about Mucinex DM

fallawake — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:37:57 GMT

I've been taking Mucinex DM Maximum Strength once every night for about a week to stop a persistent cough (allergies) that keeps me up at night. On the plus side, it did stop my cough and helped me sleep (knocked me right out). On the minus side, it made waking up very difficult, and made me light-headed, "foggy" feeling, and made my vision blurry - all of which worsened gradually the more days I took it.

I didn't associate the Mucinex with the symptoms I was having until I read up on it online after a fainting spell I had had over the weekend. Apparently, it can have a very negative effect on blood pressure (either high or low). I fainted twice while bike-riding and could barely stand for some time afterwards. The Mucinex is the only medication I'm taking and I'm otherwise in excellent health.

I now think that staying up all night coughing and spitting up mucus would be preferable to taking this OTC med. Either way, I'm going to be exhausted and barely functional in the morning!

jamie62682 says "Slimquick Powder MIx worked without making me jittery at all." about Slimquick Powdered Dietary Supplement

jamie62682 — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:51:51 GMT

I have tried nearly every diet out there. Almost every diet supplement made me jittery. Slimquick powdered dietary supplement did not give me that jittery feeling. With zero calories, no sugar, and the convenience of just being added to water, this product was well worth the price.

Slimquick contains no calories, no sugar and only one carb. It also contains a 100 percent of the daily value for vitamin B6 and B12. It also has valuable antioxidants in the form of green tea extract. It does contain a small amount of caffeine, about the same as a cup of coffee. This is a product that I could feel good about taking. It has better nutritional value than my morning cup of coffee or daily soft drinks. Plus, my coffee and soft drinks never helped me lose weight.

I never took over the one packet twice a day that they suggest in the beginning. I found this to be adequate. I would drink the first packet about two hours after breakfast and two to three hours before lunch. ...

SNL2001 says "Much needed benefit to the female kind!!" about Seasonale Birth Control Medication

SNL2001 — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:11:55 GMT

I have tried many types of birth control over the years and have always suffered with great side effects. Like many women, I use the pill not only to prevent pregnancy but control pms,cramping,heaviness,headaches and many other health reasons the doctors give us excuses for as women!! With all the ones in the past I have had not much luck.... so bear in mind I went into this new drug skeptical...especially when i was told i wouldn't have a period for 3 months!! I knew that break through was coming.....but to my surprise....i was wrong!! First pill i have ever been on that i have no side effects.....none....I am truely amazed!!! As well as the doctor!! Affordability is a big factor for me because again like alot of people we dont't have insurance.....but there are mail order pharmacies out there that are much cheaper than your normal even the larger companies!!! You just have to do some surfing to find them.....so i suggest for the price and the benefits of this particular pill its a sure...

CookieBoo says "The Oral-B Vitality is the best investment I ever made." about Oral-B Vitality Electric Toothbrush

CookieBoo — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:30:48 GMT

The Oral-B rechargeable electric toothbrush is definitely the best investment I have ever made. I have always dreaded my 6 month check-ups with the hygenist at my Dentist's office but since I bought the Oral-B my problems with plaque build-up are gone. It has a timer to tell you when your two minute brushing time is up and it holds a charge up to two weeks. The charger is small enough to pack for vacations and the brush head is very easy to change. There are different brush heads available for whatever your dental needs are. I highly recommend this product.
