My daughter was given this med because of swollen adnoids and after the first day of use her snoring has completely stopped. She did not really like the taste though.

Taken for: Optic Neuritis. By the time I was given this medication, I had lost all vision in my left eye. Within 3 days, I gained most it back (20,30). My doctor kept me on this med for 2 months because the swelling/pain in my legs/knees from Fibromyalgia/Osteoarthritis was greatly reduced. My energy level jumped through the roof. I could get up in the morning (no stiffness) and had the energy to shower, cook breakfast, go shopping. I hadn't been able to do that for 3 years (even with meds like lyrica). He took me off of this drug and my energy dropped and pain slowly returned. I miss this medication even though the side effects are a bit overwhelming. I had massive cravings for food, but I was on the atkins diet so I did not gain any weight (but no loss either). Also, I became very irritable.. almost like I lost my inner censorship voice. I would just say whatever came to mind with no forethought for how it might affect the person listening. Although I found this a bit funny (I usually try way too hard to be a people pleaser), others were not so happy.

Overall I am pleased with this treatment. It beats having steroid inje ... Show Full Comment

untreated lung/brain cancer. used to address symptoms and is prolonging and making my life bearable. the side effect are terrible but I'll trade them any day for the vision loss, dementia, unbearable headaches with eye pain. I'm into pallitive radiation now and hope to wean off in couple weeks. if not then I'll keep doing whatever it takes to get to the end with the best quality time ... Show Full Comment
