constipation

Do not let the doctor fool u when you get this medication!! It is a killer in a little pill,first you will eat ravenouslly
Sure you will sleep better after you start packing on weight, you will have stomach problems, I had severe constipation, It was horribly uncomfortable and I was hospitalized because of it, the medication slows everything your metabolism, your digestive tract, your brain that's why you can sleep and sleep,my doctor told me it's not addictive,
That's a load of garbage,it's like trying to get off some street drug, withdrawal symptoms ,insomnia ,chest pains,sweats rash and more not only will this pill cause your blood sugar to rise it is very important you contemplate taking this drug! Don't be fooled by your doctor, some people will benefit but if I would have known I would not have,I was lucky in terms of weight it was ten pounds, but I literally had to starve and eat a bag of salad not to gain more,I can now finally eat, I feel.like I'm not some fat zombie it is taking some time, if you are not schizophrenic lithium,lamactil, clonazapm, and several other mood stabilizer will be more than enough without this horrible drug!!!!

Thank you for your reply, I was referring to Seraquil a very potent anti phycotic drug that there have been many deaths and or lawsuits related to
It, many people including myself have had horrible reactions,it is made by a company named zprexa I believe and it recently just got really approved I would caution anyone from taking this drug as it is one that will wreck you, the medical community are aware of this but due to marketing they are making a lot of money dispensing this pill,please use caution before taking it.I am referring to the gold standard in mood stabilizer lithium, lamactil caused me to lose weight while giving me sedation but enough to focus and clonazapm is a anti anxiety which is very beneficial when combined with the others.

Which medication are you referring to?  Zyprexa?  Clonazepam is not a mood stabilizer.

Everyone has different reactions to meds, and plenty of people go without getting side effects or without getting any particular side effect.  You might want to have something like miralax or even something stronger on hand the next time you switch meds.
