L-lysine didn't work. Also, an interesting question abt generc vs. non-generic drugs

[Guest guest]

Hi, guys. I also tried the L-lysine without having any relief for it. I took it

for at least 3 months. I always have more problems in the winter with my ReA,

even though AP works amazingly well for me when the temperature outside is above

40 degrees.

Anyhow, I have an interesting question-

Other than many of our responses to Minocin, the non-generic, working better

than minocycline, the generic, have any of you experienced better success with

non-generics relating to other drugs that you take? For instance, in addition to

the minocin working better than minocycline for me, I find that the generic for

Zyrtec (allergy OTC) doesn't work at all, while Zyrtec works really well. .I'm

curious if this phenomena is more widespread than it should be. Thanks.

Hi ,

My name is Anne and I've been a silent part of rheumatic group for nearly

three years. I have RA and I am not improving, I was on AP for almost three

years and achieved almost total remission. However, after severe stress

that entered my life over two years ago RA hit me with such force that

nothing seems to help anymore. I am much worse than before my remission.

In desperation I tried Methotrexate and Plaquenil with no improvement, only

side effects. I have not gathered enough courage to try Enbrel or Humira

yet. A few weeks ago some members of this group were exchanging information

about L-Lysine. I was wondering if it helped anyone?

Hi Mona,

This is the reason for allergies and meds causing reactions…generics. There is

grading of generics as well as OTC meds. Some have so many fillers there is no

room for the meds. Some have fillers that cause the pill or cap not to dissolve

when itshould (causing nausea, gas, diarrhea..etc because of it being absorbed

or not in a different part of the intestinal tract). There are a lot of things

the public doesn’t know about meds that the food and drug adm says they are OK

with.

I really wish I could afford non generic meds all the time but I can’t anymore

and name brands have gotten unreachable unless you have a really good medical

plan.
