1068689 tn?1325827206 My new doctor changed my prescriptions from regular Met to Met XR and added 2mg of Glimepiride. My BG's have been above 300 for last few months and nothing seems to get them down. Doc thinks this change should do it. I've only taken it twice now but since taking it I've been dizzy. Quite enough I need to lay down. I know it says this may be a side affect but does it go away? It brought my BG's down as I said from over 300 3 hrs after eating to 180 just now.
Avatar m tn The onset of action ranges from 45 minutes - 1 ½ hours, and the duration of action is six hours. Diazepam carries a bi-phasic half-life of 20-50 hours (for Diazepam), and 30-200 hours (for Desmethyldiazepam). Valium is indicated for the long-term management of generalized anxiety and tension-anxiety. Tolerance will not develop to the anxiolytic property of Diazepam, although tolerance will develop to the sedative/hypnotic property.

1273125 tn?1365077526 I use insulin. I use Humalin-N as my basal (this is an older insulin), and Humalog as my bolus. Combined with low carb eating, insulin can be an excellent tool. And best of all, It always works. It does need to be used by an educated patient, so that you know it's effects, durations of action etc. And you need to test enough to make sure you avoid lows. Seeing you already eat low carb, I would recommend Dr. Richard Bernstein's book "Diabetes solutions".
Avatar n tn Those certainly are concerning symptoms, and I have never heard of them associated with either of those two medications(it certainly does not mean that you as an individual cannot have specific side effects, but they are quite unusual). Have you ever had these symptoms while OFF all medications? Depending on the severity of your reaction, the re-challenge test is often used to determine if indeed it is caused by the medication.
Icecream The main concern I would have about the addition to Lantus 20 units daily would be the risk of low blood sugar, especially in combination with glimepiride. Both Lantus and glimepiride can cause low blood sugar or hypoglycemia. Just make sure you're watching for the signs of low blood sugar, which are, sudden headache, feeling shaky, and weakness. There are many more signs of hypoglycemia and I encourage you to research it more yourself.
Avatar m tn A partial µ-opioid receptor agonist, its mixed agonist/antagonist activity affords it a lower risk of dependence and abuse than full µ agonists like morphine. Meptazinol exhibits not only a short onset of action, but also a shorter duration of action relative to other opioids such as morphine, pentazocine, or buprenorphine.
Avatar m tn about 2 weeks ago i had a sexual intercourse with a call girl.after 5 minutes of action,i decided to change style,when i wanted to start action again,just after i wanted to enter my penis in her vagina i heard the condom broke and i immediately extracted my penis and stopped the action.my penis was in her vagina for about 3 or 4 seconds after the condom broke and i stopped further contact immediately after that.
Avatar m tn Please do not put off calling your doc today. I looked up Amaryl (glimepiride) and it is used by type 2 diabetics to lower glucose levels. There's a discussion going on in this forum about type 2, after long periods of time (how long is unk), reversing into type 1 diabetics. In your case it seems you are combating low glucose levels and may have a flipped 180º. Let us know what your docs says. You will help a lot of readers by posting your history if you did turn into a type 1.
Avatar n tn a physician could give you a more detailed course of action depending on your situation as this varies by the individual. keeping yourself busy now and in the next several days may also be helpful.

Avatar m tn He was hospitalized for a week and he was under cardiac surviellance for a week under which he went through ECG, Echocardiogram, Angiogram, and Stress Thallium Test (after 15 days of discharge from Hospital).

Recent CAG shows 70% mid and distal LAD stenosis, 50%om2, and 60-70% RCA lesion. Stress MPI scan is being done to evaluate for reversible ischaemia.
Avatar m tn The half-life of a drug does not correlate with duration of action. The duration of action for Valium is 6-8 hours. A single daily dose would not be adequate. The bare minimum would be twice daily. Optimally, it should be dosed three to four times daily. If you are looking for something that may be dosed once daily, Klonopin carries a duration of action ranging from 12-18 hours. This may be a more appropriate choice for you. Equivalent dosage is 0.25 mg for Klonopin, although 0.

Avatar f tn Okay, my turn to ask a question! (Sorry, it's long!) The trouble with having all this information (ie. Google) at our disposal these days is that when we feel something is wrong, we try to fit it into the box of a diagnosis, because clearly every grouping of symptoms falls neatly into a nice little well-established illness/disorder/syndrome, right? Ha! Just kidding. My symptoms appear to bear similarities to MS (which is why I've been hanging out here for the last 12 months!
