Hormonal effects?
You know, I am way past menopause and I (along with 2 of my aunts in their 80s) have never had any symptoms. One aunt had surgical menopause at 20 something, nothing. I know this is not the same with each women but I never went thru menopause and know the ovaries just withered and died. Last year (age 63) my doctor even was amazed at the moistness on the exam. I have no explanation for that except I just don't feel my age at all, except for those aches and pains that have come with some age.
They should be more worried about the effects
especially in a larger state such as California. Smoking is an addiction, but I personally feel that there more of a problem with obesity. People are trying to quit smoking, but are they really trying to quit eating? JMO. What someone does on their own property, whether it be an apartment, townhome, etc., is their own business as long as there are no laws broken.
side effects
Does anyone know it the Hoodia causes any side effects or if it affects blood pressure? I have both diabetes and hypertension and have to be careful what I take. Should be extra diligent in what I eat, but if I was I wouldn't be asking about Hoodia, now would I? Am really interested in learning about this. Need to lose a LOT of weight for health reasons, as well as clothes shopping. TIA
I have had no ill-effects or complications - sm
from having had 4 epidurals by the way. What was different about it with my second delivery is the doctor must have done a really good job as I could not feel my legs at all, I remember joking with the nurses that they could chop off my leg and I woud not feel it. I could move it just could not feel it. They had to tell me when to push as I was so numb and could not feel the pressure at all. But my daughter came flying out in 7 minutes despite being super numb, no episiotomy either with either kids though I did tear ever so slightly with #1 and needed two stitches with her. That is what I wanted to avoid the most, much more than an epidural.
Side effects of chemo
You are 100% correct in your post but there are a lot of other ailments that are also treated with drugs that can cause cancer and this is something people are advised against up front. I remember 1 kid in high school treated some an ailment and the side effect of his treatment was that he contracted cancer and died from that. I have known for years the connection between breast cancer and hormone replacement; thus when I came of age to perhaps take it I turned it down. My mother, on the other hand, given hormone replacement and contracted cancer from I believe irradiation 30 years earlier for tuberculosis in her lymph glands and she mentioned to me the fact her doctor still had her on replacement hormones. She, herself, knew the connection. I have 2 older aunts and myself who have never taken this treatment because we all know connection. Believe me, if you check on other maladies, you will find the treatment often can cause the side effects such as cancer of which you speak.
Reading about possible side effects,
I can see why you might feel anxious. Do you usually tolerate medications well, or do you tend to react oddly? Not that that is a big help. I know most meds work great for me, but even low doses of Topamax were bad for me in a sneaky way.
Tough choice. Do they know what is causing your occipital neuralgia? Sorry to hear you have that!
Cipro-side effects
I took Cipro last month for diverticulitis. Now I have EXTREME tendon and muscle pain. Anyone out there ever had this reaction?
These are the possible side effects of SSRIs
On this website they did not mention violence and suicidal thoughts.
Side effects of SSRIs include:
Nausea
Sexual dysfunction, including reduced desire or orgasm difficulties
Dry mouth
Headache
Diarrhea
Nervousness
Rash
Agitation
Restlessness
Increased sweating
Weight gain
Drowsiness
Insomnia
Now you think that these SSRIs made your life 'worth living again?' Do you think that your life is only worth living when being on these antidepressants?
But I am happy for you that you feel better.
Any side effects? Can you take this stuff with caffeine? nm

It is on the TV ad for Singulair as being one of the side effects/warnings. nm

kids, meds, side effects
I would make sure that he was not having side effects from medication. Seven years is a long time to be on prescriptions and this is the age when most of the boys were taken off medication so they could grow normally through their puberty, as it was stunting growth in some boys that were my son's friends.
Beyond that, 6th grade is the grade when children are picked on the most. If your son has one friend at all, I would try to shore that up.
Any side effects? Odors? Bad breath? Diarrhea? etc. nm
s
Nope, I had no negative side effects whatsoever

Scary reports on Eladil possible side effects, though. (sm)
From FDA website:
Possible risk of cancer: As noted in the Elidel Cream label and patient Medication Guide, although a link has not been made, rare cases of cancer (for example, skin and lymphoma) have been reported in patients who use Elidel Cream. The manufacturer is conducting studies to examine the risk of cancer. These studies may take many years to complete.
you have a valid point here, one has always to consider side effects of meds..nm

Drugs.com: Read on this site about more side effects of Xanax
