For Inflammatory Conditions "If I could give this drug negative stars, I would. I had the worst insomnia and loss of appetite for 2 weeks. I slept maybe 1-3 hours a night. I could not eat, I had to force myself. The heart palpitations and racing heart rate lasted MONTHS and were unbearable. I had burning sensations in my head, chest, and other parts of my body for months. I was red for months. I became paranoid. I had never felt this way before in my life. This is truly a terrible drug for me. Doctors dismissed it as being due to the pandemic we are currently going through, but I knew that wasn't it. I diagnosed myself through research and found many others who have gone through the same thing as I did. I feel doctors need to be more educated about the terrible side effects of this drug, and they need to make patients aware. This drug ruined my life for a long time."

For Inflammatory Conditions "Prescribed today, 7/23/24, for shoulder pain for 3 weeks. I took the 6 pills today, and I can't believe I'm not feeling any pain. How can that be so quick? I have 4 more days to take the medication, but I'm wide awake at 1 a.m."

For Allergic Rhinitis "TBH I don’t really know why my ENT prescribed me this stuff. He just said, “I think I know what your problem is and this should help.” Guess I should’ve probed him for some more information. Side effects have been nuts, though. I can actually breathe, but I worked out by going to cycling, which I usually do weekly... halfway through the workout I wanted to DIE. I was sore as hell, and when I got home to try and sleep, I couldn’t because I was in so much pain. I do think it has added to my already there insomnia, too. It does make me a bit irritable, but the crazier side effect has been my mega increased libido. Craziness."

For Immunosuppression "I have systemic lupus. Worked well, but insomnia and mood euphoria decreased my normal sleep pattern tremendously."
