Well I am not a fan of medicine, the only I take atm are anti allergy pills.Not sure what to advice you, but it sounds really bad. The question is, can you try it for a few days? If you feel anything at miss, you could just dump them in the bin. Last time I tried to take the antibaby pill, which was in March 2011, about two months into the start of that Kundalini stuff - I was considering it because all of a sudden I had the effin feeling that I was pregnant and my body going happily along with it and I totally stressed out over it - no logical reason whatsoever why I should have been pregnant ... anyway, after 3 days I felt totally detached from my body and by day 9 I wanted to do nothing but keep banging my head on the wall. Needless to say, those infernal things are in drug heaven now. IP: Logged |

No way am I taking it. Some other meds that are since banned that I was on caused a few mini-strokes. Some caused blindness episodes. Some weight gain. There were/are other trouble makers..... so no, I will not take a thing that has side effects as bad as what they are for or worse. My ex tried to kill himself under a similar one and did die in 2005 from another "side effect". I had to do CPR and bring him back. He has been messed up bad since.

Oh I was given statins. 3 months of agonising muscle pain and creaking joints. I am a personal trainer by the way and I was like "What the flip is happening to me suddenly?? It was only that I remembered in a dim and distant memory once reading an article about the effects. When I mentioned to the doctors they chirruped "Oh yes! Quite common. But if it gets serious stop taking them....cos you can actually...er....die I said "I shall take my chance with cholesterol" Two days after stopping. Not an ache, not a twinge. Horrendous. And on reading more stuff about them? Never on God's green earth will those things again pass my lips. I don't care if there is pure lard running through my veins, Fine by me IP: Logged |

Medical science is the modern equivalent of the dark ages. In a century or so, they will look back on us and just shake their heads. Vaccines alone are cause for shock. Cholesterol as we know it in the medical view doesn't really exist. The amount of cholesterol one eats has no direct relation to the amount in one's blood. It's all about how we metabolize the cholesterol in our diet. Homocysteine levels tear at blood vessels, and our bodies create cholesterol to patch the damage. Over time, yes, this can be dangerous (but it would be more dangerous if we didn't have that protective mechanism). So, forget about cholesterol levels and focus on homocysteine levels. Lower that, and cholesterol will naturally follow. IP: Logged |

They are really pushing cymbalta right now too..It's interesting how tied up their budget/finances are into the major pharmaceuticals at a lot of these places.. but I've been too bogged down to have all the super cool research handy. The only anti-depressant that ever worked for me was wellbutrin and has been proven to cause breast tumors.. maybe cancer. I don't believe in taking drugs tantamont to placebos with side effects. They make a lot of money though, and you have to take a placebo to get out of the psych ward lol.. IP: Logged |
