lexapro

Avatar f tn I just checked the prescribing information of Lexapro and apparently it is actually not a good idea to take any sort of NSAID at the same time as Lexapro... so, if you're taking ibuprofen it is probably a good idea to not mix the lexapro and ibuprofen and I wouldn't suggest getting a prescription NSAID after all. Usually the prescribing information says something about when side-effects tend to go away... but, I couldn't find it. But...
Avatar f tn Hi - - - Naproxen Sodium is the only NSAID that is not metabolized in the liver - -- it is metabolized in the kidneys. So, I do not think you are damaging your liver - but your kidneys may suffer. I totally agree with the above posts, however, that you are not going to get relief from Migraines with this drug - -- - You really do need to see your PCP and find another treatment for the headaches - --- the advice above to use acetaminofen ( no more than 4000 per day - max).
1840891 tn?1431547793 s, and she suggested I try Voltaren gel, a topically applied NSAID. She said if used as directed only very minute amounts would be absorbed into the general circulation. I googled the drug and immediately found an alarming FDA safety report at http://www.fda.gov/safety/medwatch/safetyinformation/safetyalertsforhumanmedicalproducts/ucm193047.htm, which notes post-marketing reports of drug- induced hepatoxicity, some leading to complete failure of the liver.
975514 tn?1324997938 I am curious to know for those of you who have only been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (no other coexisting diseases such as Lupus or Lyme disease), do you get pain relief from any NSAID medications like ibuprofen, Aleve, or any other prescription NSAIDs like Mobic or Voltaren?
Avatar f tn Once a week I take an NSAID and no matter what other natural treatments I may be using for my hip arthritis, I always feel better--motion is more fluid and unencumbered, almost normal--on those NSAID days. So my question is this: am I allowing the arthritis to worsen more quickly by not taking NSAIDs every day?
Avatar n tn Ice and an nSaid are about all you can do.
Avatar m tn Lexapro, the brand name for escitalopram, is a widely prescribed medication known for its effectiveness in managing mood disorders. This antidepressant, belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class, offers several benefits to those struggling with conditions like major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. https://buylexaproonlinepharmacy.weebly.
Avatar f tn For example, take an NSAID (ibuprofen or Ponstel) and then two-three hours later take Tylenol, then 203 hours later take the NSAID again and so on. Have you asked your doctor for something stronger? Such as a combination of Oxycontin and ibuprofen? You want the NSAID for the inflammation but may need the narcotic for the pain.
Avatar n tn Diclofenac is a strong NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). These two medications are in totally different classes...one is a opioid and the other is an NSAID. Strictly based on pharmacology, the hydrocodone/acetaminophen is stronger. However, these two medicines should really not be compared in that fashion as they each work better than the other for different types of ailments. NSAIDS are great at relieving pain due to inflammation.
378273 tn?1262097621 I looked up Ascriptin on the internet and it is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) that contains some aspirin. I take a beta blocker, atenolol, and NSAID's are recommended to avoid. I take aspirin and tylenol for pain when I need. If you read about this medication, it recommends to be careful if you have any heart problems. Aspirin, is probably okay, as is not an NSAID. However, check with your doctor of pharmacist before starting any new medication. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Arthrotec is an NSAID, aspirin is also an NSAID, if that helps any. I don't thinks is quite as hard on your stomach as plain aspirin is though.
Avatar f tn Arthrotec is a combination of diclofenac and misoprostol. Diclofenac is a NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Drug) it works much like Ibuprofen or Aleve. Misoprostol is a synthetic (man-made) substance that stimulates secretion of mucus in the GI tract. Mucus helps protects the lining of the stomach. It's suppose to help reduce ulcers sometimes caused by a NSAID. I've not seen literature that says Arthotec is contraindicated in ppl that take birth control medications.
Avatar f tn Paracetamol has weak anti-inflammatory property and is generally not classified as a NSAID. People not tolerating NSAID, do well on paracetamol. However, do ask your doctor.
Avatar m tn Have posted already but no answer so hopefully someone might know, does rectal nsaid cause bleeding, had bright red blood on toilet paper and then dark stringy blood in stool the following day. No further bleeding except mucus for a day after, sorry gross information. have lower back pain a few weeks and was taking medication for same, couldnt tolerate oral nsaid so used 2 suppositorys on 2 consecutive days. Bottom doesnt feel sore so i dont know whats going on.
924711 tn?1290266557 I am currently taking celebrex for arthritis, but it is a NSAID and I read we should not take them. I was diagnosed with Fibro but was afraid to take cymbalta. IS there anyone here who takes cymbalta without any problems? I am Genotype 1A with stage 2 fibrosis. Any feedback?
Avatar n tn I was tested for rheumatoid arthritis last year and was negative. I've never been diagnosed or tested for any of the other issues you listed. I used to find relief with an NSAID (Aleve), but it hasn't helped with my most recent symptoms.
Avatar n tn I can understand that, I was not aware of negative affects of Acid prohibitors and Non-Inflammatory or nsaids(Advil), as far as I know the nsaids do reduce the fine mucus lining of the stomach, but the damage comes into play when stomach acid burns the area where the nsaid removes the mucus, and this in turn causes the acid to burn that area, causing an inflamed stomach lining.
Avatar n tn Ask your Dr. I'm pretty sure that it would depend on the cream. I was using a prescription NSAID cream before I got pregnant and had to stop once we found out because they don't know the risks and how much might actually get into your bloodstream. I know that most Dr.'s recommend tylenol as a safe pain killer during pregnancy. Good Luck!
Avatar n tn Etodolac is a NSAID. Vicodin is of course a narcotic but it contain acetaminophen (tylenol). I did some research and the use together and cannot a contraindication of taking toe two together. Often a physician will order a NSAID and a narcotic but usually they do not add acetaminophen with the narcotic. So I will end this would please call a pharmacist. They can best advise you in this area. Etodolac has a longer life than Vicodin and it take time to build up in your system.
Avatar m tn But from what I understand about it, its just a stronger NSAID so Im not sure how helpful its going to be with nerve pain. I have to go get a lumbar MRI to hopefully see what the deal is. My previous doctor said I had reflex sympathetic dystrophy, but when I talked with others who had it there pain seemed much more severe than mine. My main concern was to find out if it was similar to tramadol at all, but I just looked it up and they seem completely different.
Avatar n tn Ice may help more than warm soaks but whatever works best should not hurt him to try. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not an NSAID. He may want to ask his pharmacist or PCP if a NSAID would provide better relief than tylenol. Men and doctors....I don't understand the relationship...or should I say non-relationship. Men often just avoid physicians until they have major problems that could have been treated noninvasive measures had they sought help sooner.
Avatar f tn Hi all, About 2 months ago I started having shoulder and arm pain. Hurt from shoulder down to wrist. Now it's extending into neck. I don't have insurance till Sept. when Medicare kicks in. I did pay to go to doc's and he said bursitis and gave me etodolac (an NSAID). Well, have taken for a few days and it's doing nothing. My Advil PM works better. I think it might be an impingement problem. does any 1 have any suggestions until my insurance kicks in.
Avatar m tn I have been having kidney pain on both sides, and excessive sweating. Could this be from taking too much NSAID medication?
Avatar m tn Hi, NSAIDs are known to increase the risk for atrial fibrillation. Your episodes of A fib could be related to NSAID usage. According to studies done, use of non-aspirin NSAIDs was associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation or flutter. Compared with non-users, the association was strongest for new users, with a 40-70% increase in relative risk (lowest for non-selective NSAIDs and highest for COX 2 inhibitors).
1328595 tn?1283018449 I am doubting this is any heart-related problem, but GI upset secondary to the Naprosyn. Perhaps you can try another NSAID, i.e. Ibuprofen. Are you taking the Naprosyn with food and water?
1250137 tn?1268932555 The reason I mentioned this is that this type of headache responds well to indomethacin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Talk to your doctor about this. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
