1516809 tn?1345082764 Thanks for the reply. The reality of the situation that I am finding in my particular instance, or that of my mother is that any of the anti-psychotic medications used to treat the behavioral issues of an Alzheimer's patient carry 'black-box" warnings. The result a Catch-22 of how do you control the behavior, provide a quality of life, and minimize the risk.
148588 tn?1465778809 m more concerned with its other scary sides than this tumor thing, as I have none of cancers mentioned in the black box warning. But its either take procrit or reduce riba or abandon tx, so I'm choosing procrit to see if I can finish tx and clear this virus once and for all.
Avatar n tn Hello. I thought I would give you ladies some information I've just read about the drug Reglan. I thought it would be important because I've read that several women have been given this drug to increase Milk production. With the recent Black Box warning: "Feb. 27, 2009 -- The FDA has ordered a "black box" warning, the FDA's strongest warning, for drugs that contain metoclopramide, which is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
Avatar m tn I was prescribed Elidel, however at first I was concerned with the black box warning and asked my doctor for a prescription skin barrier cream instead called EpiCeram to try first. Anyways, I have used the EpiCeram for a couple months along with a penis vitamin cream call Man 1 Man Oil and Emu Oil also. It seems as though my condition has improved somewhat, but not completely and I am wondering whether or not I should try the Elidel now since I want to get this resolved faster!
Avatar f tn According to the web, Strattera carries with it a "black box warning" - the most serious warning a prescription med can carry and still be on the market - that strattera has been linked to suicidal thoughts in children. I agree with Margy - I would call that doing terribly on strattera. I'm not quite sure what behaviors strattera has helped with, but a child with new suicide thoughts are about the worst thing I can think of.

Avatar f tn In my opinion, taking a drug which cures me, even though it has a black box warning, is a whole lot better than avoiding that drug and ending up in a pine box six feet under instead. However, one might be surprised at the drugs that have black box warnings. Many are very commonly taken and no one thinks twice about it.
Avatar m tn Do you have a question about the black box warning?
Avatar f tn Your liver has to process all those drugs. I hope you are alright! My mother has paracetamol toxicity and her liver enzymes were very high. You can die days after overdosing on drugs due to liver failure. I would go to the hospital just in case. I too had suicidal thoughts. In my case due to vitamin B12 malabsorption. This was my cause of seriously deficient serotonin levels. Serotonin is the happiness neurotransmitter.
Avatar n tn On July 8, 2008 the Food and Drug Administration slapped a black box warning on Cipro and other, similar antibiotics due to an increased risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture. Recent adverse reports include ruptures to the shoulder, hand, bicep or thumb tendons."

Avatar n tn The Department of Geriatrics at Johns Hopkins University conducted a dedicated seminar at Mount Sinai Hospital geriatrics department three years ago warning against inappropriate use of risperdal in the elderly.
674607 tn?1240017232 The cardiologist who gave me this warning is not fully conversant with psycho-active drugs, but suspects that some of them may be causing or contributing to the problem. Here is my current cocktail: Effexor (low dosage), Lithium (low--600 mg), Wellbutrin (300 mg), Risperdal (low), Clonazepam (low), Dexedrine 10 mg when needed. Do you think any meds on this list can cause high blood pressure?
Avatar m tn I took 80,000 epo for 48 weeks then dropped down to 40,000 for the next 24 weeks at Dr. Jacobson's order. I don't know of anyone on here who would consider taking iron at all since we've all been explicitly warned not to because iron is crucial for viral replication. Much better odds just taking the epo/procrit and working towards that SVR goal.
Avatar f tn s called a black box warning from the fda that it causes bone density loss. They only put a black box warning on drugs that have serious side effects that are severe. Google it. It is by far the most dangerous and damaging of all the birth control options and no one who values their health should use it.
Avatar m tn Unfortunately, the FDA Naltrexone ‘black box’ warning about the possibility of liver issues can be very misleading when investigating Naltrexone or Low Dose Naltrexone because it does not provide the scope or dosage on which the warning is based. The below is information about the Black Box warning – it is based on a clinical study where patients were taking extremely high dosages of Naltrexone (300 mg a day) and a sub-set of obese patients developed some liver anomalies.
Avatar m tn The FDA said it would now require a black-box warning on the oral sodium phosphate products Visicol and OsmoPrep, alerting consumers about the risk of acute phosphate nephropathy -- a type of severe kidney injury. "The FDA has received reports of 20 unique cases of kidney injury associated with the use of OsmoPrep," Dr.
5079728 tn?1365549989 Bupropion, also known as Wellbutrin (as an anti-depressant) and Zyban (as a smoke cessation aide) has a black box warning for suicidal tendencies and suicide completion. Anti-microbial drugs (antibiotics) that contain fluoroquinolones, such as Avelox, Cipro and Levaquin, have warnings because they can increase the risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture, especially in patients over 60 years old.
Avatar f tn ok, in March, I was hotpitalized for a week due to my schizoaffective dirorder being out of control. They put me on risperdal and the next morning, I fainted, and hit my chin on the floor. They almost gave me stiches. Ever since then, I have not felt right. I feel like my head is going to float away, but yet, I don't feel dizzy. My apetite has gone down. I eat but still feel weak. I got my thyroid, b12, iron, cell count, glocose tested and all those are fine.
Avatar n tn the most important thing with this drug is to follow the instructions and the warning signs very closely and carefully and check with your doctor often.
Avatar n tn Though this panel was not asked to make regulatory recommendations, the panel quickly ruled that a BLACK BOX WARNING, the strictest warning possible, should be added to Adderall and other ADHD medications to warn consumers about the serious risks of sudden death and adverse cardiovascular events. The FDA took no immediate action to add this warning to Adderall or similar ADHD drugs. Have you suffered Adderall side effects?
2176476 tn?1338605299 ve tried first perphenazine (4 weeks), then thiothixene (six weeks), but they were too sedating and I was having a problem working. And even sedated I started having more and more warning signs that my mania was returning. About a week ago, I started taking Risperidone after a two week break to clear out the thiothixene. During that two week cleansing, I was getting more and more manic, but still manageable. Now after a week of Risperidone, I'm completely wide open and out of control.
Avatar f tn I agree, go see your Dr. ALSO~ With Depo~ There's a black box warning that if your on it more than 3 yrs or so, you've gotta get bone density scans. It's been shown to lower bone density. make sure you get a check on that too, because you don't want to have happen what happened to me. Fall or something and injure yourself bad, to only THEN find out it's partly due to your bones being weak.
