2079360 tn?1337016057 Ok so I pulled a muscle in my back & my OB gave me lortab. I know she wouldn't prescribe anything that would harm me or the baby but I'm still skeptical... Is anyone else like this about doctors advice & recommendations? A first time mother & very cautious!
Avatar m tn 08] The authors randomised neonates immediately after delivery to receive either hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) or placebo in addition to HBV vaccination (at 0, 6, 10 and 14 weeks). 259 neonates were included in the trial with 222 completing 18 weeks of follow-up. Only 62 (28%) reached the primary endpoint of freedom from infection and the development of an adequate immune response to the vaccine.

173732 tn?1226758694 If the doctor and patient decide to continue venlafaxine during pregnancy, discontinuation symptoms should be considered in the newborn at birth. Neonates exposed to this type of antidepressant late in the third trimester have developed complications requiring prolonged hospitalization, respiratory support, and tube feeding. Such complications can arise immediately upon delivery.
Avatar n tn Methyldopa crosses the placenta, and may cause mild hypotension in neonates of treated mothers. Because it has been safely and successfully used to treat hypertension during pregnancy, some experts consider it to be the drug of choice for the treatment of nonemergent hypertension during pregnancy.
Avatar n tn It is now one of the most important agents of nosocomial infections especially in immuno-compromised individuals, neonates and patients with internal prosthetic devices. In these patients, the infection result from a compromise in both general and local defense mechanism, and inability to clear staphylococci from infected device because of a biofilm on the foreign body surface. Hope this information helps.
Avatar f tn In general, lisinopril should not be taken with potassium supplements or diuretics that conserve potassium [for example, hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene (Dyazide)], since blood potassium levels may rise to dangerous levels. PREGNANCY: Lisinopril should not be taken during pregnancy because fetuses and neonates have died when lisinopril was administered during pregnancy. NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether lisinopril is excreted in breast milk.
Avatar f tn RBCs should be "anucleated" as in "without a nucleus." Nucleated RBCs are abnormal in a peripheral blood smear beyond neonates. If Red Blood Cells in a peripheral blood smear show up nucleated you need to have this investigated by a hematologist/oncologist. Nucleated RBCs are very immature RBCs that should not be seen outside to bone marrow and may be a marker of significant disease.
Avatar f tn Based on limited data, structural defects have been reported in neonates exposed to montelukast in utero; however, a specific pattern and relationship to montelukast has not been established. Healthcare providers should report any prenatal exposures to the montelukast pregnancy registry at (800) 986-8999. Pregnancy Considerations Maternal use of cetirizine (Zyrtec) has not been associated with an increased risk of major malformations.
Avatar n tn I can't seem to get enough sleep without sleeping pills. I am bi-polar and take meds for that. My anxiety is probably the worst. It has gotten me into other health issues whilst self-medicating. I have a RX for .5 twice a day. Ativan. Loraxzapam (sp). I feel I'm getting better taking fewer each day. I take nothing from time to time. I need to know it's there. My question is how soon can you be "immune" to the effects?
Avatar f tn Google Ativan and ringing in the ears, rondoo. The ringing is a w/d symptom and Ativan, being a short term benzo will keep you in perpetual withdrawal until your next dose. Keep a diary of when the ringing is at it's worst and I will bet it's time for your dose of Ativan. I have severe ringing after coming off Neurontin last Dec, but I had tinnitus to begin, probably from Xanax now that I'm thinking about it, although not to this extent.
1198664 tn?1368647812 They're similar in action but not the same. The Ativan will help with anxiety and sleep issues. It doesn't do anything for the sweating. Do you get chills also? All this passes pretty quickly. I know it seems like forever but just hang tough. Don't take any Percocet. It will just get you back on the rollercoaster... The sweating is the body's way to rid toxins. Don't add to that. The Perc will make it worse,in my experience. Just relax with that Ativan...
Avatar m tn Your doctor obviously wanted you to have access to the Ativan, in case you had a sudden attack, so you could take one and have it under control in 20 minutes. 'As needed' is the same as PRN.The doctor meant for you to use it in this way, and no other. Benzos cause dependence in people who take them as they are supposed to, and cannot come off them without a doctor's supervision.
414333 tn?1226191493 75mg, my question is, I started the Ativan weaning in Feb, I am now down to 0.80mg from 2mg, so I have dropped 1.20mg in 3 months.... Does anyone know if I can taper at a rate of 10%?, or is that too fast... if I can that would mean i would be off the Ativan in 2 1/2 mths... Is this viable? I just want to be off this garbage I am getting old 24 yrs old and nothing in life.... after the Ativan then it's Klonopin time.... Wow can I make it through this? I hope so......
Avatar m tn My experience has been that I use the Ativan in what I qould call emergencies with anxiety attacks. I now no longer use them as they have an addictive potential. They are very short term as far as how long they last. If used, it shuld be under supervision and short term.
Avatar n tn I congratulate you on you due diligence. You seem like a very smart patient. Ativan is a good helper in the Anxiety community. Good Luck to you Cat....
Avatar f tn very similar in strength...both are at the top as being the strongest benzos...there is a chart in my journal that compares benzos...
Avatar n tn I started taking Ativan .5 two or 3 times a day four days ago due to losing my job. I asked the Dr for something to calm me down. She gave me a qty of 30 1mg pills. Said don't take more than a milligram a day. Will I have a problem stopping these in a few more day?
Avatar f tn hi, im not a doctor, but im taking ativan for years. The Ativan works for 4 hours , how long it stays in system about up to 3 days.it depands on how many mg you took . instead of talking more , try to skip the ativan , instead of 3 times a day, try 2 pills a day for few days.The mdication will start to work again. Your body just get used to those specific meds.It is very easy to get used to it and get hook on those meds.Just be careful.
