Holy Cow!  These are NOT appropriate drugs for a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia!  Find a new doctor ASAP! These are very, very, very dangerous drugs!\n\nBest wishes and good luck.\n\nP.S. I just did a Medline search of the scientific medical literature and there were NO research studies listed for the treatment of Fibromyalgia by either of these dangerous drugs!

Herceptin has some side effects, but the good news is that it doesn't cause the hair loss and nausea associated with most chemotherapy drugs.\n\n\nMild Side Effects:\nHerceptin causes flu-like symptoms in about 40% of the women who take it. These symptoms may include fever, chills, muscle aches, or nausea. These side effects generally become less severe after the first treatment. Other side effects, including low white or red blood cell counts, diarrhea, and infections, are seen in some women receiving Herceptin in combination with chemotherapy, but are rarely seen in women taking Herceptin alone.\n\nLess commonly, Herceptin can damage the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. Find out more about the benefits and side effects of Herceptin. Rarely (about 5% of the time), the heart damage is bad enough that women experience stroke or life-threatening congestive heart failure—a condition in which the heart can't pump effectively. Slightly more often (about 7% of the time), Herceptin causes mild heart failure.\n\nWomen who experience mild or more serious heart damage can stop taking Herceptin and start taking heart-strengthening medications. This often brings heart function back to normal.\n\nWhile heart damage can be more severe when Herceptin is given along with other chemotherapy drugs known to cause heart damage, including Adriamycin (chemical name: doxorubicin) and possibly other drugs like it.\n\nTaking Herceptin with the chemotherapy drug Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel) does not increase your risk of severe heart damage. Studies have shown that this combination causes only slightly more mild heart damage than Herceptin alone. Women in clinical trials who are receiving Herceptin plus Taxol are being watched very closely for this effect.\n\nFor more info see link below

Methandriol dipropionate does not directly convert to estrogen, thus it has a low incidence of estrogen-related side effects, such as gynecomastia, water retention, and fat deposition, which are usually minimal if they occur. As Methandriol dipropionate has an androgenic component, typical androgenic-related side effects are possible: oily skin, acne, increased body hair, and scalp hairloss if prone to male pattern baldness.

Most children in clinical trials who experienced side effects were not bothered enough to stop taking Strattera. The most common side effects were upset stomach, decreased appetite, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, tiredness, and mood swings. In short-term clinical trials with children and adolescents, a modest decrease in appetite was the most common side effect. Some children may experience a loss of weight when starting treatment with Strattera. As with all ADHD medications, growth should be monitored during treatment. Strattera has not been tested in children under 6 years of age. In rare cases, Strattera can cause allergic reactions, such as swelling or hives, which can be serious. Your child should stop taking Strattera. Call your doctor or healthcare professional if your child develops any of these symptoms. These are the reported side effects currently known.

Although Amevive suppresses a portion of the immune system, the most serious infection reported during the clinical trials was pharyngitis, or the common cold. The FDA is encouraging physicians to monitor white blood cell counts during therapy and inform patients to report any signs of an infection or malignancy to their health care provider promptly while receiving treatment. The effect of Amevive on pregnancy and fetal development is not known, therefore treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. \n\n  THANK YOU VERY MUCH

*Prednisone side effects:\n \nPrednisone may cause euphoria, insomnia, mood changes, personality changes, psychotic behavior, or severe depression.  It may worsen any existing emotional instability.\n\nAt a high dose, Prednisone may cause fluid retention and high blood pressure.  If this happens, you may need a low-salt diet and a potassium supplement.\n\nWith prolonged Prednisone treatment, eye problems may develop (e.g. a viral or fungal eye infection, cataracts, or glaucoma).\n\nIf you take Prednisone over the long term, the buildup of adrenal hormones in your body may cause a condition called Cushing's syndrome, marked by weight gain, a "moon-faced" appearance, thin, fragile skin, muscle weakness, brittle bones, and purplish stripe marks on the skin.
