About a 6 weeks ago I had a panic attack and my NP switched me to Xanax XR 1mg. 2 times daily and .05 if needed. I want to switch back to the Klonopin now since things are better I don't really care for the Xanax XR. I have spoke to 3 different M.D. And they tell me I can switch to 1mg. Klonopin 3 times a day and then eventually taper down. I guess now I'm scared to try it. I don't like taking medication anyway. Any advise?
is it safe to take 125 mg of cipro each day for 6 months I was prescribed this for a UTI that keeps coming back. Also the pharmacy that filled the prescription gave me 250mg tablets and told me they aren't made in 125mg. and for me to break in half . But the info that comes with the meds says not to break.crush, or chew.
but it something that I really want/need to know the answer to. I seem to be passing totally undigested Venlafaxine XR (Effexor XR) pills. I managed to inspect one of the pills afterward (disgusting, I know) and the outside was tough but it was still full of a white, powdery substance. Does this mean that I'm not digesting the medication at all? What should I do?
Seroquel is an anti-psychotic medication. Yes, in most people it does make them very sleepy. 14 hours a night not abnormal for someone taking Seroquel if they are sensitive to it or new to the drug.
May I suggest asking your P-doc about Seroquel XR. It is an extended release formula of the drug and should be easier for you to tolerate. Many people report that after switching to the XR formula that they can take it during the day once they get used to the drug.
Trileptal is an anticonvulsant (used as a mood stabilizer for bipolar), and Lexapro is an antidepressant called an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). If you are having problems with mania you might want to talk to your doctor about adding an antipsychotic. There are so many too many to list and there can be so many different combinations too. You should talk to your doctor about the specific symptoms you are having...
Are you on the venalfaxine controlled release capsules (Effexor XR)?
Are you taking it with food?
The nausea is usually at first only, but it takes about 4 weeks to dissipate
for most and if it doesn't, then you should advise your prescribing doctor.
Do you know why exactly you were prescribed this? There are various purposes for its use.
Note that should you have an underlying low thyroid function (common with FMS), venalfaxine is contra-indicated.
s replacement) is a fantastic AD medication and should perform just as well as Effexor XR. At least the clinical trials show it to be just as effective with similar side effects.
What I am really watching for and waiting for is this new Valdoxan antidepressant. It's a whole completly new chemical approach to treatment resistant severe depression. It has almost NO side effects at all and in clinical trials works even better than any other modern antidepressant on the market today.
I have pvcs/pacs, all tests, ekg, echo has come back completely normal. Im just worried about taking a new medication,, afraid it may cause the palpitations to be worse, better yet cause a dangerous arrythmia!! Any advice would be great!!
Her family doctor has placed her on the lowest dose of Effexor XR, Oxazepam, and Risperidol (as well as Levothyroxine, Calcium and various other vitamin pills). She has been on the three medications for almost two years. Many, many insignificant events and items cause her great distress. After the last surgery, she began to suffer panic attacks and is now agoraphobic. Two months ago, she started to hear "music" in her ears while sleeping causing great distress.
I then took Effexor and later ther Effexor XR. Effexor XR allowed me to live a reasonably normal life raising a child and having a career. For at least 3 years my depression has slowly gotten progressively worse. My counselor and I believe it is time to add an additional medication, possibly welbutrin or change to a different antidepressant. Currently I take 300mg of effexor XR. This is the same level I have taken for the entire time I've used effexor. I would like input and advice.
2) I was away and got food poising last week and just finished a 7 day course of cipro...would either the sickness or cipro affect the test results?
I am scared mainly because I developed alopecia areata...when I looked hard enough there are a few that say HIV may be a trigger....I am 34 and have never had this before....have any of you seen this to be common in HIV positive people?
I do the liguids and been using the Vit c drops to perevent coughing any one here have suggestion. I have cipro. and was wondering if anyone has used it for a few days for this type problem. I also have clindamycin that my dentist gives me before dental work I have to take this becase of open heart many years ago. I dont take any medication other than sentroid for thyroid any suggestions.
I'm on prescription Adderall XR and the company I work for adheres to strict drug screening process. I need to determine if I should notify my employer of the prescription. Will my adderall XR show on a drug test if I am called to take one?
I took Effexor Xr 37.5 mg for a month and decided to get off the medication. I will never again take this medication. The "brain zaps" are horrible and the feelings are just as bad. I thought since I wasn't on this drug long enough that I wouldn't have side-effects, wrong! I'm also not happy with the way this drug is being marketed and the lack of mentioning of these "zaps".
Your doctor knows what she is doing as this is obviously not the right medication for you. It is often trial and error as to what medication will work best for us, and this is the frustrating part. There are many other excellent choices for you that won't make you lethargic. I wish you all the best and take care.
If someone has a history of UTI's and has no health insurance, why won't a doctor give a patient a refill? Why do I have to pay anywhere between $100 - $200 to go to the bathroom in a cup to confirm what I already know is true because I have had UTI's many times before. At a desperate attempt, I brought all the empty bottles of cipro and other drugs prescribed for my past UTI's to show that this wasn't something I was making up. I hoped the Dr.
