Avatar n tn About a month ago I was able to lower my self off of paliperidone and onto ziprasidone which is the same category of drug as paliperidone but studies have shown that out of all antipsychotics ziprasidone had the least amount of weight gain. So I’ve been on ziprasidone for about a month now and I’m still losing weight while walking. Sometimes after my walks I only accumulate around 100 calories a day. On days that I splurge a bit and take in around 800 calories a day, I gain weight though.

Avatar n tn Finally, since about year he began giving him INVEGA (paliperidone) injection 50 mg which he is fine with it. The problem is that he has become sperm non-existent as he told me. Will it disappear in case he stop taking the injection after a long period of use???? I am very confused, particularly as he wants to get married and be a father.
912156 tn?1242874384 ago i took a drug named Invega wich is an antipsycotic but was given to me for bipolar disorder.

Unfortunately I didnt know this at the time.

Avatar m tn Hi, my question is regarding an intrathecal drug pump and drug testing. The short story is that I've had 21 back surgeries, and after being on many (just about most) pain meds, my doctor finally put in a drug pump with dilaudid. As most probably know, this pump is installed in the abdomen with a catheter that runs to my back and is inserted into the intrathecal space of the spine (where the spinal fluid is). So the medication does not go into my blood stream or cross the blood brain barrier.
Avatar f tn I just keep seeing posts that say they drug test mothers and babies at birth. I never saw any paperwork or lab results with my first nor was it ever mentioned. Is this a secret thing they do or random maybe? I would think you would have to sign some kinda papers? I mean i dont care if they test me and baby or not...we're clean...but i just never really even thought about it. I would think if they suspected the baby having withdraws in the first 24hrs.
Avatar m tn Hey, is it possible to collect the fumes using some fan and duct system and bubble it through water , thus allowing the fumes to dissolve in water and then send the water sample for drug test? What I would suspect is, if you do not take any drug yourselves,could some one else be drugging you with out your knowledge?, take care.
Avatar m tn Asacol is not particularly recommended in patients with renal damage, but the issue is that alternative drug therapies may not be as effective or may have varied side effects. Nevertheless it is advisable to replace it with nicotine patches and one or the other newer drug modalities that bypasses the kidneys to prevent it from further damage. It would be best to discuss this with your treating gastroenterologist. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar f tn And finally injected me with terbutaline to stop contractions and prevent preterm. Is this drug safe for lpegnant women. I read online it shouldnt be used to stop pre term labor. But the hospital gave it to me anyway.... ??
Avatar m tn The money he makes always leaves his pockets quick especially when he goes to his drug using friends homes. He hides things from me and never wants me around his friends.
Avatar f tn I am 28weeks along now and I havent smoked in a few weeks and am passing my drug tests. I am due march 30th and was just wondering if anyone knew if I am passing my drug tests then my baby is alo right? Or could it still be in my babies system also?
8924846 tn?1410572901 Since its a school they ask patients who qualify to volenteer for drug trials when they are avalible. I was asked to take part in one that is for a nausea medication. So basically when i go in for my c section they will admister the medication or placebo when i get the spinal/epidural before the surgery. I would really like to take part and volenteer but at the same time id rather not be puking while they are cutting me open....
Avatar f tn So I've been reading a lot of posts that say they've been drug tested while they've been pregnant? When exactly do they do that right before you give birth or right after?
Avatar n tn Once you find them, the studies will give you the results of the various drug trials and what percent of people attained SVR. The studies on the most recent drug regiments show very good SVR rates, much higher than with previous drugs. Plus the drugs have fewer side effects and are better tolerated. "and what about those cos. making the drugs. ..... Too many schmucks making big money on these drugs.
Avatar f tn What are the odds that the hospital does any kind of drug test to the father of the baby?
