Poppin' Pills

[Bakamut]

I take vitamins. They are shaped like Fred Flintstone.

Hey, that's cool. I wish I had vitamins that were something other than round or capsule-shaped and boring

hahaha xD

But yeah, the side effects I read online were like... potential craziness, weight gain, and decreased sex drive. Among other things. Awesome that they worked so well for you though :o

I didn't get anything like that with the Pill. I think the pill's pretty good cause it makes your period a lot lighter and you have full control over it. And you always know when you're going to get your period so you can be prepared. And the most weight you'll gain is about half a kilo. Those side effects sound like my anti-depressants. They make me eat SOOO much that I've been putting on a bit of weight. And they did horrors to my sex drive. I've been finding it hard to cum, it SUCKS...

Until two weeks ago, I took a mood-stabilizers. Until three weeks ago, I took an anti-depressant. Until eight months ago, I took an anti-psychotic. Until thirteen months ago, I took a second mood-stabilizer.

I'm now completely unmedicated for the first time in six years. =D

Congratulations. I wish I could get away with getting off my meds.

I take the pill and something else I'm not going to tell you. In case you wanted to ask, it is not Prozac.

Yeah, gotta be careful with that Vicodin. When I took it for a pain in my jaw a couple times, I only took like 1/3 of the actual pill. It was far too strong to take the whole thing.

Yeah. I took 2 every 8 hours. It was a nightmare, because on top of that, I would take 3 or 4 Motrin every 8 hours overlapping the Vicodin. So it was 2 Vicodin, 4 hours later 4 Motrin, 4 hours later 2 Vicodin again, then 4 more Motrin 4 hours later. I was pretty heavily drugged.

I'm very glad that I am not subject to the cost or the timing of medication for chronic disorders.

its not as heavy. And they won't make you anymore crazy, trust me =)

hahaha xD

They're not definite side effects! I actually lost weight when I started to take the pill, I didn't get any crazier and my sex drive is not impaired.

Be careful, mind. I know someone who walked right into the road and got herself hit by a bus when she took the pill, because she was so out of it...It depends on the person.

I'm not medicated, thank god. I don't want to be unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't even like going to the doctors when I'm sick, I haven't been in at least a year.

In the Spring and Summer, when the pollen count is high, I take hayfever allergy tablets. Other than that, I don't take any other kinds of medication.

The last time I had a prescription was last May, when I had to have an emergency operation to remove my appendix. I ended up having...well I don't even know how many pills I had to take for the pain and antibiotics. >_>

For about a month afterwards I had to take a few antibiotics a day as well. Not on any medication at the moment.
