214,977 | Fluoxetine / olanzapine | major depressive disorde | "This was a good med for crisis mode. After crisis time I got off the olanzapine and stayed on just the antidepressant, fluoxetine.

216,700 | Spinosad | head lice | "I used a product called Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew. It's active ingredient is also Spinosad, but it only costs $8.00 for an entire quart.
