WebMD VS Drugs.com

Check webmd.com definition of gender affirming care for minors. It includes, among other things, top and bottom surgeries which puts those minors on a path of lifelong medication. Child marriages are wrong and even though that does not impact me, I think that all of 42 states in the USA should finally ban them. Adults can do whatever they want, but children are a different thing. Consent is important. And... Source: 11 months ago

Personally, I recommend avoid googling as much as you can. This disease is different than other cancers in regards to staging, and specific to each person, and the team treating you can interpret image studies, and the various tests, will be far more knowledgeable as to advise and treating you than healthline.com or webmd.com. There are some good resources out there, such as this and the cancer reddit. Source: 12 months ago

I'm no kind of doctor. That said, in my experience, going off cold turkey can be a very bad idea -- I felt physically ill for weeks after quitting one med. Couple years later, I quit another, and came close to harming myself. Best idea is to discuss ramping down safely with your doc. If you're not comfortable doing that, at least check reputable web sites like drugs.com, webmd.com, mayoclinic.com. Google quitting... Source: 12 months ago

Medscape.com is a really nice site with medical information (more physician-oriented compared to consumer-oriented sites such as webmd.com and the like; anyone can get a free membership). Here https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/171805-overview#a2, under Epidemiology, they note a four-fold increase in all-cause mortality among people with undiagnosed celiac disease. You might follow the links to the references... Source: about 1 year ago

Look at sites like pdr.net and drugs.com as they are going to list out the facts. Pdr.net actually lists the percentage of people having each side effect and breaks them down to major, moderate, and mild. Source: 5 months ago

SSRIs tend to rate better on websites like drugs.com but SSRIs and even both SSRIs and SNRIs act fairly similarly (ie, focused on serotonin transporter inhibition). Source: 5 months ago

Fetzima. It's been around for a decade, but it looks like the generic is dropping now. It's sister drug has been around much longer outside of the US. I don't know what to think, I've never read anyone's experience, so maybe it's not too common? What I just read at a glance is it appears to be a highly specific drug, in stark contrast to most of the tricyclics such as Desipramine (although Desipramine is not... Source: 5 months ago

Thankfully I only read the reviews on drugs.com before making my decision and the reviews there are generally positive. If you haven't read them I would check it out. They mostly say yes the initial side effects can be hard, but it is worth it. I read them a bit like Tripadvisor reviews and skipped through to just get a general sense. Source: 5 months ago

I think you're wrong about all the other people here and the falsifying, but I suppose I have no way to prove you're wrong, and there could be shades of gray (like some reddit users are AI for sure, and why not in a pharmaceutical sub?) but mostly I'm really very interested in all the details of this theory if we follow through all the logical assumptions here. Like...how high up are you thinking this thing goes?... Source: 6 months ago
