1154672 tn?1262222616 I called again today, and she gave me a prescription for Requip (since there is a generic for it, and is less expensive than Mirapex). She started me on the starter pack. I take 1/2 of a .25 mg tablet for 4 days @ bedtime, then 1 full .50 tablet for 4 days @ bedtime, finally then 2 tablets 1 mg after that. I am concerened that since I have been taking 1 mg of Mirapex, that the dose of Requip won't be enough.
Avatar m tn You can go to a doctor and tell him about your legs bothing you and night,He might give you a starter pack of requip. that was what helped me a great deal and it worked wonderful.
Avatar n tn I want to change my birth control cycle so that I never get my period on the weekends. Right now I am a sunday starter and I want to switch to be a thursday starter. Tomorrow (wednesday) I start the white pills, is it bad if I start a new pack on thursday?
Avatar n tn I started taking Requip last year for RLS. I just happen to mention to my doctor that I had leg pain during the night. She had given me a trial pack but left it at home when I went to my daughters for the weekend. I had only been taking it a few days and when I didn't have it to take I thought i was dying. It is like I am addited to this drug. I can't come off of it. I have started having shooting pains in my legs and find that I am having to take it more often.
Avatar f tn 10 years ago I was misdiagnosed BP1 , taken off antidepressants, and onto Lamatrogine. While dosing up on the starter pack, I had panic attack after panic attack, finally went to a proper psychiatrist, he said I am not BP1. He immediately put me back on an antidepressant. Then I just suffered with irritability. So he added Seroquel at night. He is an addictionoligist as well and said doctors dont get addicts. They diagnose us improperly as BP1. I COULD NOT TOLERATE LAMICTAL.

Avatar f tn tablets in a row in week three, or if you miss three tablets in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new package on the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack of pills that same day. You may not have a period that month, but this is expected.
Avatar n tn 2 months later, dyskinesia occurred in tongue/jaw, drooling returned. Sinemet dosage then was decreased to 2 per day 25/250 (9am, 2pm), Requip 0.125 (9pm). Dyskinesia improved. 1.5 month ago, teeth grinding started day and night. She is now taking 3 per day sinemet 25/175, 25/175, 25/100 (9 am, 1pm, 5:30pm), and Requip 0.125 every other day(9pm). Teeth grinding improved 50% at least (5:30pm sinemet uses low dosage because it looks like impact her falling into sleep even with Rozerem.
Avatar n tn It IS from the Alli, have you read the pamplet that comes with the starter pack? it will explain it all. I had the same issue until I read the info packet. I guess that is why they insist on you getting the starter pack to start with(lol). You need to watch your intake of fat, the more fat you eat the more fat comes out of the other end. Fat is what you are referring to as the greesy orange stuff floating. Alli recommends not to consume more than 15grams of fat per meal.
Avatar f tn For me Fentanyl patches 50mcg have saved my sanity. They lessen the pain but don't take it away but make life a little bit easier. I also take Tizanadine and oxycodone for flare ups. In the morning I start taking Savella the new Fibromyalgia medication. My Rheumatologist gave me a four week starter pack of Savella today. I'm really nervous to take this medication because both Cymbalta and Lyrica were horrible medications for me. The side effects scare me.
Avatar f tn I have had RLS for about 2 years, and it has gotten progressively worse. I take 1mg of Requip in the morning, and NOW (I just started) I take 1 mg. in the afternoon, and 2mg. at night. Now I'm finding that my right leg is SERIOUSLY worse than the other leg, and I can't even sit for more than 15 minutes without having to move around and stretch and the whole nine yards. This, after taking all my meds. I don't know what to do, isn't 4 mg. kind of a large amount of Requip?
Avatar f tn I'm on microgestin 21 1-20 pack, I missed 4 pills in my first week, how do I take them now? Im a Sunday starter.
Avatar f tn Hi I got my ears pierced about a month ago inside a small little shop in the city I read that there was a possibilty have getting hiv from a piercing gun the piercer wore glove got a pack of starter studs they seemed to be new he sprayed them down a few times shook them to make sure the cleanser got around then placed the stud in the gun I hesatated at first then finally let him do it from this experience would I be considered at risk
Avatar f tn I could not take the RLS and no sleep so i went to a doctor and told him my legs bothered me at night and I could not sleep so he gave me a starter pack of requip and 10 sleeping pills.That helped more then you would know.I am not saying to run out and do that but it got me by.So to all just push for the 4th day and everyday after that it will get better.And when you have a bad day just think of how you felt on days 1 through 4 and you might not feel so bad.Just my opinion.
Avatar n tn I missed two pills in a row on Thursday and Friday (im a Sunday Starter). I realized I missed 2 pills on Saturday and took one on Saturday. I read the instructions for missed pills and threw out the rest of the pack and will start a new one today (Sunday). I had unprotected sex Thursday night (first day of missed pill). I also woke up to heavy bleeding this morning. Could I get pregnant?
Avatar m tn Welcome -- we are glad to share our knowledge and experiences. As a starter, I would suggest going to the website of ILADS.org, which is a well-known voluntary group for physicians and others who have a particular interest in Lyme disease and other infections the so-called "Lyme ticks" may carry. There is a section on the ILADS website called something like' Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines'.
Avatar n tn Why don't you call them. You can find their number on chantixdotcom Here is the number, but in case they XXXXX it out, go to the website and the number is there.
Avatar n tn Exactly - the med is the same, the strength is the same - the pack is just an easier way for your doctor to prescribe it rather than actually figuring out how many pills to prescribe - and also probably easier on the pharmacy for them not having to write out all the instructions on dosing.
Avatar n tn I am a Sunday starter and just started a new pack this past Sunday (2/21). I have been taking the pill at about the same time everyday and have not missed a pill yet. My boyfriend and I had sex on Sunday night and starting Monday morning I have been having lower abdominal cramping. It felt like "ovulation cramps" and today (thurs) I had a discharge that was like ovulation. I thought being on the pill stopped your body from ovulating?
