Avatar f tn Am I doing this wrong? I'm taking the riba 6am and 2pm. My doctor didn't say had to be taken with fat or any food for that matter and it's not on the bottle what to take it with. Then I'm taken the incivek 7Am 3PM and 11PM with fat peanut butter or cheese or cake and a fatty Yogurt. I really am having a hard time eating because I just have no appetite, but I want this to work. Should I be taking the Riba with fat and how in the heck does one eat that oftem?
Avatar f tn Suppose a person is diagnosed with schizo. after seeing a doctor for only a week and is prescribed anti psychotic drugs. The doctor does not know anything about the patient's history or events leading to hospitalization( such as lack of sleep and food for three days straight). If the diagnoses was wrong and the person doesn't need to be on these types of drugs, what kind of affect would it have on a person's brain and ability to function?
Avatar m tn I am sorry to say but it sounds like she needs to be in a treatment facility and also address why she does these things to cope with things or have fun. I also think that you need to talk to her very seriously and stand beside her for support to help her quit. With saying that it sounds like you are not doing these things and the type of life style she has is different then yours.

Well I finially decided it was enough so I made it through about 50 hours into withdrawls. The 1st day was bad, RLS and my stomach was really messed up plus I had a headache.

Avatar n tn The symptoms (sensitive and swollen throat, trouble breathing, chest pain and pain in right side of abdomen) could be exacerbation of the GERD. Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. You will need to take a combination of medications like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief.
1584259 tn?1296718935 You are an emotional eater. We all have "comfort foods" but to constantly eat to feel better is only suppressiong a problem. You'd be much better off to get into therapy and find out what is going on inside that you need to do this. Many obese people have unresolved issues, and food conforts them but leads to a lot of health problems. Fortunately you have chosen a better way to "self-medicate" than turning to alcohol or drugs, but it will become a problem.
Avatar n tn If the same doctor prescribed both these medications for you, then you can trust it's safe to take them together.......but you must read the labels! Sometimes "together" doesn't mean "at the same time." Some meds need to be taken with food and some on an empty stomach, some in the morning and some at night. If you have any questions about how to take these meds, call your doctor or pharmacist for the correct dosing schedule.
Avatar m tn My doctor still considering what type treatment I need, but probably he said that I will go with Viekira pak.

Avatar f tn Some people have a bunch of minor annoying side effects and others have a few that need to be kept on top of or they get worse. Many people complain of fatigue, nausea, flu like symptoms (mainly after the Interferon injection), rash and/or itching, headaches, diarrhea, general malaise. Pardon my bluntness, but you may get burning diarrhea (and some have pretty bad internal rectal pain). Incivek seems to cause this flaming diarrhea along with hemorrhoids.
230948 tn?1235844329 Hi Thats really interseting that you had a psychotic episode and was on fentanol patches as i was the parkinson drug before and then the dr put me on fentanol patches which took away the pain, she put down the episode to the miripexin (parkinson drug) and the acupan (pain killer) that he had put me on and never suggested the patches could be down to it, but it was the newest and nearest drug that i was put on to the episode and i think it could be this as i still have really bad vivid dreams a
Avatar f tn I am allergic to all drugs in the morphiene family and need to be able to take something stronger than aspirin or tylenol. Tramadol and Ultram have very little if any effect and I have been told my the family doctor that Ibuprofen, Aleve and Celebrex are now unhealthy for my eye condition. Any suggestions as to what can be taken for pain that won't interfere with the current eye treatments?
Avatar m tn for years.. I have had these blisters for more than 30 years. I have had countless doctors prescribe so many drugs and too many creams. I have given up on any professional who has a degree. Because in my reality they do not have a ******* clue what it is. I worked as Plumber in Arizona for several decades . I first noticed these blisters there, they would appear as small 1/8th head size, if not lanced open they would hurt. They only appear on the bottoms, sides and heel area.
1076404 tn?1259197655 t force the eating, but I strongly suggest you get some Jello, or some Pudding. If you really need to eat, Asian food is perfect. Not China way, or cr@py fast food asian food. You all know that joke you can eat a whole bunch of asian food and still feel hungry? Well... perfect! NO FAST FOOD because you will get the runs with the withdrawals. Fast food will make you day a lot worse. Anxiety, find something to take your mind off the withdrawals and drugs. Got a car? Do some work on it.
Avatar m tn milk, fruit, fruit juice) can also cause blood sugar to rise (so serving sizes and moderation are important). With fruit it’s important to eat them with other foods to slow the absorption of fructose (fruit sugar). I'm NOT saying that these foods aren't allowed. What I AM saying is that you need to use care and follow the guidelines for diabetics. Google "diabetes nutrition" and "glycemic index" for recommendations.

My clinic has postponed treating any patients with triple therapy until their software is updated to include all of the newest information regarding P450 interactions. Therefore I’m NOT the only person realizing just how crucial and important this all has become. Ergo I’ve decided to regroup my thoughts and explain the basics.
Avatar m tn Generally, taking tryptophan is not very effective as it doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier very well when taken as a supplement. But taking 5-HTP, a metabolite of tryptophan, has been shown to be effective in many people. But it will never be as strong as a drug, as anything that occurs in nature is used as it's supposed to be while drugs are engineered with the theory we can improve on nature.
