Stop-smoking drug can trigger behavior changes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q. I noticed vile words coming out of my mouth after a week on the stop-smoking drug varenicline (Chantix). I had many "Did I really just say that?" moments. I turned into a mean, angry person on this drug. I decided to go cold turkey instead and went on anti-anxiety meds for three days. That worked for me, and I've been totally smoke-free for 18 years now. A. We have received more than a thousand comments about this medication. Some people have been very pleased with their results. For example,
Natural crystal deodorant is not aluminum-free (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q. For many years now, after developing issues with antiperspirants, I’ve been using crystal body deodorant products. These are made of natural mineral salts. They are supposed to help control odor-causing bacteria and contain no aluminum chlorohydrate. I started with a stick that you wet before application, but it was hard on my armpits. Instead, I now use a spray. There is also a roll-on, but as a man, I don’t like roll-ons because the applicator pulls on underarm hair. These products don’t st
Menthol works magic for restless leg syndrome (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q. I've suffered with restless leg syndrome for years. I finally found something that works and I can't sleep without it. My secret is Biofreeze, which you can get almost anywhere. Each night, I put it on my wrists and ankles before getting into bed. With this, I sleep through the night. It has been a lifesaver for me, and I believe it could help lots of people. A. Thanks for sharing your discovery. We were disappointed to find no studies on topical menthol (the active ingredient in Biofreeze pr
Stopping duloxetine for fibromyalgia was disastrous (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q. I have taken duloxetine for three years for severe fibromyalgia. I am a nurse, so I was reluctant to start it, but my physician said that "It is the best medication we have on the market for your pain." I looked it up and didn't find any information about withdrawal concerns, or I would have declined. This drug hasn't helped my pain, but I started to have random foot and hand movements. Coming off the med is hell. I take Dramamine twice a day to help with the nausea and dizziness. I also have
Bidets but not smartphones in the bathroom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q. With irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and hemorrhoids, I go to the bathroom four or five times a day. Since toilet paper never really cleans perfectly and wipes cannot be flushed down the toilet, we purchased an electric bidet. What a relief! The area is cleaned quite well. I still have to use toilet paper, but way less. I highly recommend a bidet to anyone who experiences stained underwear! A. We searched for research on the possible benefits of bidet use for conditions like yours. A systemati
