Avatar m tn We tried Ritalin and Concerta and one created a zombie and the other a sleepless child who was very angry all the time. We have been using Stratera for almost two years and we think it's just wonderful. My son his seeing the doc everything 3 months, but that medication does not stop his growth, he is not a zombie, he is still a clown and he loves to tease and joke around. It is one pill a day and we noticed the effects to last for + - 12 hrs.

Usually a combined approach of a pain killer and a non-medication therapy helps give best pain relief. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!

4241272 tn?1357571660 I don't know much about it. My husband says it is important to have our son circumcised. He says it's cleaner and healthier, and that it's safer to do now than when he is older.

94902 tn?1330479667 I am now estimated 6 weeks pregnant, and am having to make the decision about wether or not to come off my meds. I am in the process of weighing my pros and cons, but wonder if any other moms have been on any meds while pregnant. I would appreciate any input.
Avatar f tn That was not my question, my question is what the pros and cons are. You don't know my medical issues or complications, so if my OB thinks it's a complication, then it's a complication.
Avatar f tn If you know you can do it without the epidural then I'd suggest you not getting it i had a csection and didnt have a choice now my back bothers me in the spot where they stuck the needle in it feels like a tooth ache and it took them several times and 2 anesthesiology to get it in the right spot which was the worst part of the whole thing
Avatar n tn I'm currently taking Symlin. Has lots of pros and cons...first, I've lost about 15 pounds and have gone from 110 units of insulin (using a pump) daily to about 70 or 75. Makes you so unbelievably nauseaus you can't eat, so losing weight isn't really a problem. Certain foods still make you so sick you pray for death even after you've adjusted to the medicine. If you don't take it when you eat a meal...for me, it's an immediate BS of 400, no matter what I eat...
Avatar f tn Hi ladies. Im looking to hear some pros and cons about the epidural from moms that have been through it. I personally always thought if I were to ever have kids I would get one.. now that the time is here and I'm doing more research I'm not so convinced. Thoughts, experiences, opinions?
Avatar f tn I am a ftm and expecting my little boy in 11days, I wanted to know the pros and cons of circumcision? Has anyone done it and what is the reason for it? I am a single mom as my baby's father is not involved AT ALL, we don't even have contact and i was raised by a single mom with 2 sisters so I am literally LOST when it comes to a boy, I am not lying when i say I am completely surrounded by girls! Lol, all help appreciated, thanks!
Avatar f tn The further along I get the more I am thinking about actually giving birth and I have been researching the pros and cons of getting an epidural. I just wanted to hear some experiences from anybody that did and if so what was your experience with it? If you didn't why not?
