Is it too late to join? I need some motivation!

Can anyone here tell me how long it took to get this drug totally out of their system? I am still noticing some of the issues and have been off the drug for 2-3 weeks now.

My GP, who prescribed the drug, was of no help to me. I had to have a Gastro doctor point out the problem. I will be switching doctors ASAP! I am so glad to hear all side effects are gone for you! I keep worrying that they won't totally go away for me. How long after stopping the drug completely did you notice things go…

I have heard about hair loss as well. So sorry to hear that. How long ago was this and may I ask if your hair grew back "normally" when you went off the drug?

This is a VERY SERIOUS subject...believe me I know! But I have to say your term BIZARROWORLD made me LOL, literally! It is the truth and I am so glad to be slowly moving out of BIZARROWORLD right now. Having to ween yourself off the medication and then wait for it to get out of your body is the worst, when all you want is…

There have been many times I felt like I shouldn't be driving while on that drug! I told that to my therapist. The first thing I started to notice...not realizing it was the meds...was when I would try to look over my shoulder to back up, I would get so dizzy I felt like I could throw up. I WENT FOR AN MRI thinking I had a…

I agree with the FOG feeling too. I am still there and hope it goes away. Although the dizziness has gotten better, it's still happening. I described my legs giving out feeling to the doctor (BEFORE I took myself off this drug) and he didn't even suspect this drug. So much for educating themselves before prescribing!

GOOD FOR YOU! Even though I only paid $10 for mine each month, I wish I had done the same...............

After all of what I have gone through with this drug, I had no idea it was called DOPAMAX...how appropriate, SADLY! Forgetting what I was saying mid-sentence, and general stupidness was, and still is a HUGE problem for me! So many people could not figure out what my problem was so suddenly! I am afraid this won't go…

Hi...Not trying to be a "Debbie Downer" here, BUT I just came off the generic 2 days ago (had to ween myself off of it) because of all of the horrible side effects I was having. No, I was not lucky enough to lose any weight the 3 months I was on it of course. I did, however, feel as though I was losing my senses. Before I…

And yes GOOD LUCK! You and your Mom are so lucky to have each other! :heart:

I agree with this...I was going to suggest therapy to begin with............

And yes, an example of what your mom is pushing on you would be a great help as others have suggested.

No, this is not "normal Mom behavior". It sounds like your mom may need to see someone. May I ask how old your mom is?

I can't see it...are you eating enough for all of the working out that you do? You work out HARD!

SO TRUE!!!!! WEAR THE BIKINI! I went on my first cruise (I am 50 years old) this past September, with a friend who is thin and has been on many cruises. I drove her crazy asking if she was SURE "people my size" wore bikinis outside. She kept saying TRUST ME. I trusted her and she was right. I wore a bikini every day of…

Shelly... I am not your age (that was a long time ago for me :cry: ...my youngest is your age ), but wanted to tell you that your daughter is lucky to have such a loving mother, who wants to better herself in all ways AND get and stay healthy! If you keep your mindset where it is, I have no doubt you will achieve…

OOPS........I posted in the wrong spot...my question was for crystalkmoore

How long have you had the body media and if I may ask what is the monthly charge? I have one, but stopped using it when it didn't work correctly during 2 exercise sessions in one day. I was so upset I haven't looked at it since. I did enjoy syncing it every night and seeing all of my activity. It was amazing how accurate…

Just turned 50 and could use support. Not a self motivator. Would love to have others to keep in touch with! :bigsmile:

Hello All....I'm just checking out this site for the first time. One of my friends told me how great it is here. Hoping this will help me keep track of what I am doing each day.
