Television commercials symptoms and conditions

Hi Metoprolol pill takers, You need to get off of this nasty drug immediately. My husband has been on it for 5-7 years and it has ruined his life. He still works and that is a miracle to me. His short term memory has been totally taken away. When I am talking to him, he forgets what I just said to him. I no longer let him drive our car. Everything that he once loved to do, can no longer be accomplished. He was once a fun loving guy who everyone wanted to be with. He no longer has friends that call him to do things with. He has night terrors that are horrible. The news on CNN announced last week that they are using this drug to give to people that have just gone through a traumatic event.. You know, like a plane crash, attempted murder, rape. This drug takes away their short term memory and they forget about the event ever happening. Can you imagine my husband running a lumber yard, getting a order, or talking to a customer and trying to make sense of the whole thing. I heard that the drug company has recalled the drug. I couldn't get it at Costco but I managed to get more of it at Haggen's. It's like they are getting rid of every last bit of it. Drug Companies will do anything to make money no matter who they hurt. They should be ashamed of themselves for putting out such a dangerous horrible drug. They need the money so they can bore the living hell out of us with their television commercials promoting erectile dysfunction and the four hour erection. I'm sure that is really good for you. Joking aside, I want everyone to know about these life altering side effects of Metoprolol. My hope is that he will return to normal after he is taken off of this drug and can lead a normal life with his memory intact. I will write to you again in 4 months and let you know.

I am 34 years old. I am a pharmacy tech. I have asthma and allergies. I have taken singulair pretty much every day since it came out on the market. I've had asthma since i was about 10 years old. I took theophylline as a kid. Steriods on and off especially during times when my allergies are bad. I still use Advair during the fall and spring. Every drug has a side effect. However breathing is pretty good damn thing. Do I have days when I feel low? Yeah. Do I sometimes have nightmares? Yup. Are "natural" products the answer. Not always. The fish oil that some of the posters are touting can also cause GI problems. Some of the natural products contain herbs and other plant derivatives that can be harmful for a child that suffers from allergies. Not proactively treating asthma can be deadly. Some of the parents are suggesting steriods as the answer - those can cause weight gain, growth suppression and can lead to a worsening of asthma.

Singulair has never made me feel like I've wanted to kill myself. I was more depressed and angry as kid when my asthma did not allow me to partipate in normal childhood things. I was sad and hated life when I couldn't keep up with friends at recces because I was having trouble breathing. You have to outweigh the costs with the benefits. I am more irritable when I have asthma flareup then I am on a normal day. For me, I choose to breathe. And singulair has been helping me for almost a decade.

I'm not saying the medication isn't causing these symptoms but maybe there is an underlying cause to your child's depression.

Any drug has a side effect. But without medical research and the medications that come with them - people would still be dying of simple diseases and we wouldn't have vaccinations. As a society, as a whole, we are a culture that looks to someone else to fix things and then blames the people who try to fix it. We need to stop being the "hot McDonald's coffee'" society.
