"I have been on and off Strattera for last two years. Strangely enough besides some dry mouth and dizziness at the beginning I have no side effects at all. I went up on my dose to 75 now. The only problem is that it is hard for me to say if it works or not."

"Well I got my Mirena on new years eve, it wasn't that painful (I'm 18 never had kids) and I did it because the implant wasn't working for me. I don't regret my decision however, insertion was uncomfortable but nothing to worry about, the only issue for has been the heavy bleeding I'm still get...

"The Proctofoam works great for immediate relief, however you'll likely need to use it repeatedly.

I'd suggest both."
