How effective has Glipizide Been For You
Good Evening, About six months ago, I was surprisingly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was originally put on insulin when I was hospitalized. After two months, I was given an oral medication called Glipizide and was even sent home on that medication. I have found the results from this medication far more successful than when I was on an insulin shot. I would enjoy corresponding with others who are on this medication. Did you experience any side effects or how succedssful has it been with you? Thank You-Tony

How effective has Glipizide Been For You
I've been Type 2 for about a year. The doc and I have been switching medication for the past 6 months and I have only been on Glipizide for about 2-3 months (replaced Glyburide). 5mg twice a day and Actos once a day.
Personally I don't think either Glipizide or Glyburide is extremely effective for me. My peaks are lower, but that could be just from better eating.
Actos takes several week to several months to become affective and I believe it is the reason for my recent lower numbers during the day.
Neither drug is lowering my morning readings which typically ranges from 120-140.
Buy the book "The Diabetic Bible". The chapter on drugs is worth the price alone.

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
