actonel and insomnia

i currnetly am taking actonel for my bones the past 3 years and klonopin i per night and take alot of vitamins such as B compex etc. no alcohol consumption but i do smoke half a pack of cigarettes per day no other medical conditions known 6 months ago all my blood workups were normal . ANY IDEAS WHAT CAN BE GOING ON WITH ME ?

I am 3 years post breast cancer i had lumpectomy chemo rads i have taken tamoxofen for 2,5 years now on aromasil i had a bone density scan and was told i had low calcuim levels, now on calcuim sandox and actonel asked if i had osetoprosis and was told no have read around actonel and have not taken it yet as of the side effects please can you advice thanks.

I take once monthly Actonel. While I was pushing the pill through the foil blister, it broke. I did not take that pill for fear that it could cause stomach problems. My question is would it have been safe to take? Also, if I contact Proctor & Gamble, do you think they might replace the pill. If it was a daily pill, I wouldn't worry about, but I just lost a whole month of medicine due to a faulty package design.

I have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.

One may develop some kind of intestinal problems with Actonel and the alternative to that is to not to take drug empty stomach, that is to take it after a meal. Please let us know if you may have nay other queries and what your doctor says. Good luck.

Non-hormonal biphosphonates (such as Fosamax and Actonel) increase bone strength and are available as once-a-week pills. These can also be taken. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

i am a student at the university of leeds. I study product design and for my final project i am designing a pill dispenser. would anyone feel comfortable answering a questionnaire i have designed towards people who take regular medication?

You might want to ask your pharmacist for more specific directions as far as the timing of your meds. I take Actonel once a month and my pharmacist said it was fine to take it at the same time as my levothyroxine since Actonel is also supposed to be taking first thing in the morning. Don't mix meds unless you get an all clear from a pharmacist.

I have started mega doses of supplements and calcium and D and excercise and I want someone to tell me that that has worked for them. Most comments I get is to take the drug because it's more effective. I can't believe everyone is taking bisphosphonates or other drugs like that. Please let me hear from you if you see this!,,, Thanks, and hope you are doing well!

I have taken fosamax and actonel and have had stomach problems and aching bones. My doctor is thinking about the yearly injection of reclast. How safe is it and will I have more problems with my bones aching - I can't sleep at night a lot from the pain.

food, smelly wind, sore bowels, itchy nd burning bottom. Iv put lots.of weight on and have bone and joint pain 24-7. I feel original symptoms were due to emotional problems and depression not being treated, my doc is not interested in.helping cus of budget cuts, I'm.

He wants me to see a rheumatologist but an available appointment will be months away. I am 75 and have been on Vytorin for at least 5 years as well as Actonel. My bone scan last year was good for someone my age. What should I do while waiting to see an arthritis doctor? How serious could this be?

Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.

t believe that at my age , this is a huge problem for me. I am taking Paxil and for the last 10 years I was taking Actonel, until my doctor suggested I stop because of medical reports showing after long use, it stops working. I know the 2 problems are not linked, but still remain a concern. Is there a medication to stop me from my late night binges. This is when I eat the most. It seems there would be an appetite supressant that would be helpful.

I have severe osteoporosis and am trying to take Forteo. I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day. So I let the previous trial work its way out of my system for 5 days and tried another full dose. This is three days after the dose and I am weaker each day. I move in slow motion. My doctor is puzzled. Anyone had a similar experience?

I just weaned myself off risperdal and lamictal and I have terrible insomnia. Maybe it's just coincidental because I'm 51 and probably perimenopausal but it is impossible for me to get a good night's sleep without Ambien. It takes 1 1/2 hours to fall asleep and I toss and turn all night. I was diagnosed last summer with bipolar type II and I began to doubt the diagnosis and I realized that my psych had me overmedicated...

I had the same problem with not be able to sleep on oxycodone they do cause insomnia in some people and me myself I had the same problem my doctor also gave me a sleeping pill at a very low dose , Explain this to your doctor and see what he/ she has to say

This is one of those common sense things...of course it can. And anxiety can cause insomnia as well. It can be a vicious cycle. ANYTHING in our lives that makes us feel less than at our best (or as close to our best, or norm as possible) has to potential to trigger, or exacerbate anxiety in someone who is prone to it. Even people without a history of anxiety will experience fleeting anxiety in those kinds of situations.

Its hopeless because i lay and toss and turn and then i start thinking about things and get anxiety and the cycle repeats. Those are my worst symptoms besides heart burn. I havent even had BH yets. Im so annoyed by it because i just want to sleep. Ive tried essential oils as well as binural beats and they work really well once im already falling asleep. What do you guys do to fall asleep?

Hello Peggy, I started on Lexapro at the same time I was diagnosed with hypothyroid because of panic attacks and anxiety - and a lot of shortness of breath. Had to yawn a million zillion times 24/7 making weird yawning faces to "fill up". My doctor separates the two conditons - the thyroid is thyroid, and anxiety is anxiety. Whatever. Anyways, I take a VERY small amount of Lexapro. The doctor says it's about "one whiff of the opened bottle every day.

All that I have to go on is Roberto and his cousin Armando who are trying this and so far they are sleeping all night and waking up refreshed. He told me that it is an all natural blend of synergistic ingredients that help you sleep throughtout the night. Thanks could please call me with the answer at 508-967-7822 for I am desperate to sleep and not be depressed.

The mood swings have gotten a lot better but my anxiety and insomnia have not. I am 29wks pregnant and I know the medications I can safely use are limited. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of what I should do. I am tired of this anxiety!!!

I am 30 weeks pregnant with severe insomnia. It started suddenly 3 weeks ago--never had insomnia before. I am 35, and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in my early 20s. I have a strong family history of thyroid disease (mother had Graves' disease, several siblings have Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism). After I was diagnosed, I went 10 years without any thyroid tests (no symptoms).

it was a big problem..my need for sleep and trying to work...how many of you had the insomnia and did anyone have the sleep syndrome like i did? i was a daytime user tho, never after 5 pm as they kept me up/the hydros/so i did not use them for sleep and relaxation..

Hi, I was recenty switched from Armour thyroid to Synthroid and am experiencing insomnia which in addition tofeeling exhausted from the change (doctor started me on a low dose and said he will probably have to increase it), is making it hard to function. I have been been one that could go without 8 hours of sleep. Is this a common side effect of the medicine, or not enough medicine? Would it pass if the dose is the correct one?

Well...last Thursday I was on the 50mcg Synthroid for 2 weeks. Since posting this on the 21st I had a very good week. I slept like I used to (still woke up..either myself or one of the kids crying....but went right back to sleep) for 6 nights and felt very good the next day like I hadn't felt in a while. But Sunday was the last good night, Monday and last night the insomnia is back and I feel lousy today. I still don't get how I can vary like this? Are my levels fluctuating again?
