| Lithium Eskalith ER 450 |
Seems to work pretty good with moods and highs and lows. |
Thirstyness, hunger more, tendancy to have weight gain if don't pay attention to the hunger and thist by drinking water and eating fruits with this. |
 |
| Paroxetine (Paxil) 20 MG |
Is definitely good for depression. I use the generic Paroxetine of Paxil 20 MG 1x in the AM. Helps with anxiety as well. Helps with Serotonin levels. Does a good job. |
When taking this med for the first time, you will feel very tired right after taking it. That goes away after a month or so. And while getting off of it MUST by all means go slow. Do NOT stop cold turkey no matter what. Follow Dr.'s orders, and must be weaned off slowly. |
|
| Avandia |
Did bring down levels. |
Added water in heart sac. Gained weight from the retaining of water in heart sac and other areas of 35 lbs with in 2 months. Got hard to breath which was scary. Then Dr. was worried too, we switched meds and instantly, started to breath better again with in weeks, lost 40+ lbs with in a few months. And right after that time happened, all these law suits started against Avandia and it's makers and I agree with them it's over all a dangerous med. |
 |
| Topomax |
Helps with moods and depression. |
Causes thirstyness, and urnination more. MUST be taken with lots of water. And causes some forgetfulness. |
|
| Treadmill |
I love this very much. It works amazing wonders and not much can take the place of it. BUT make sure you have a complete physical, EKG and cariolite stress test if over 30 before engaging in this activity. Otherwise, it's so great. Start SLOW> |
If over 30, or overweight at any age, must get complete physical from Dr. Should get cardiolite stress test, and EKG with physical to be sure. And totally start slow. These aren't really cons, just things that need to be followed. |
|
| Lisinopril |
My BP is perfect with this and I weigh 300 lbs. But yes, I am starting a work out program. |
Sometimes as for me, I can just let the meds do all the work being they are making my levels perfect. Instead of me getting out there and doing the work for my self as well. |
|
| Glucotrol (glipizide) |
Works great. |
Really gives the Pancreas a work out. can even over work it. So now the Dr. has me on it ONLY on a PRN basis. |
|
| gemfibrozil |
Has been working even better then Lipitor. But I also take it with Lipitor now. But this don't upset the stomach at all and this has been working wonders. Numbers are down. |
|
|
| Metformin |
Pill works, must be taken with something in your stomach. |
Never take on empty stomach. At least for me. Takes time to get use to. It took a while before I cold get use to taking 1000 mg a day. I think can be hard on Stomach at times. |
