    terbinafine tastes rank

    I think that's because you're supposed to add 5ml to your aquarium once a week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,054 ✭✭✭SadieSue

    none, I really don't like taking any kind of medication, it's a last resort for me. Taking medication all the time only makes you immune to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭thetonynator


    anti histamines for hay fever.

    My doctor says it does, rarely gives me any medication. He also reckons a pharmacist will never give you a cure only a treatment.:rolleyes:

    yes mr pharmacist sir.

    I am self-educated and it is certainly the case for anti-biotics, take too many and you will become resistant to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I self medicate with alcohol and nicotine. So far so good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby

    Doctors as in GPs will treat the symptoms not the cause.

    I'm well aware of antibiotic resistance thanks. I'm also well aware that it has nothing to do with your body becoming "immune" to drugs.

    care to quote me on that?
    Looks like you're putting words in my mouth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    Nah, somebody said your body becomes immune to meds. I said they didn't you then said that you're self educated and that they certainly do, pg 2 of the thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 827 ✭✭✭Cian92

    Why whats happening? Is your skin not staying clear after coming off it? Im only on it about 3weeks seen huge changes already, but very dry skin and lips..:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    i'm only on one type of medication

    was taking two for about a year, but was able to stop one of them recently.

    rarely need to take paracetamol or any other over the counter stuff

    Immunity/resistance/<other thesaurus entry here>

    I live by not taking medication unless really necessary, my body is healthier without it thanks. Also it's well accepted that you can build resistance to anti-biotics.

    I don't see anything wrong here.
