I gave my daughter her first dose Friday night,
Saturday actually wasn't so bad, she was a little
tired , the usual headache and a little nausua, not enought to keep her from eating what she wanted and going to the mall, hopefully it won't be as bad as I thought it would be for her, next
dose will be Tuesday night, do the side

I had read so much on how the side effects of this medication was affecting everyones daily life that I had great concerns for Gina just getting thru her school day, she is a sophmore in highschool taking honor courses and is considered a distinquished honors student, keeping all her grades above a 90, her work load is heavy and she also needs to do community service work for the confirmation program at church. Alot of the things that I read sounded as if she wouldn't be able to even make it thru the day, hopefully the way she reacted to the first dose
will be an indication of the rest, HOPEFULLY, will keep you posted.
When I started the dostinex I was a hairdresser. I always made it to work, just did not feel really good. But it was better to go to work then sit home and think about it all day.
