I can bet you this person has no...

Fat Loss – Without a Diet

We look at ourselves in the mirror and we see that pesky fat. We go on diet after diet and nothing seems to work, frustrating us to no end.  The problem sometimes isn’t in what diet we go on. It’s what kinds of vitamin we’re getting that makes us healthy and helps keep us thin.   Keeping fit is something we all need to do but in terms of our diet it is important to...

Is my sexual anhedonia from taking the SSRI Citalopram permanent?

Greetings, I'm a 36 year old man suffering from PSSD and SSRI withdrawal. Last August I regretfully decided to try an antidepressant for the first time. I began by taking 10mg of Citalopram (Celexa) for three months. I then stupidly proceeded to binge on 100mg over a two-day span (40mg on the first day and 60mg on the second.) Violently ill, I made the fateful decision to quit cold turkey (my biggest mistake thus far.)...

I am very careful with taking OTC pain killers.  DR said I could continue the ibuprofen though, just not a lot.  Are there any...
