Avatar m tn I googled high and low but could not find any clear info on the subject. All I could find was that taking Skullcap with Xanax could increase the sedative effects of the Xanax ( which I wouldn't mind since I need to sleep ! ). I usually break my 2 mg Xanax in half effectively only taking 1 mg and sometimes I even break that half in two, effectively taking only .5 mg. Could that small amount mixed with the Skullcap be dangerous ???

Avatar m tn s Syndrome facial and head tics. While it did control my tics, it caused a variety of side effects. Some of them stopped when I stopped taking the drug, and the more severe ones are still with me a year later. I have severe tightness of the muscles in my neck, throat and around my eyes (causing me to squint constantly). I no longer breath normally and have difficulty at times drawing breath. I'm really not sure what to do for any relief and relaxation of my muscles.

For those of us that are trying a more holistic approach - this could help you. I steaped it for only 4 min. and could feel the effects (sleepiness and a more relaxed state) within about 15 minutes of drinking it. Hope all goes well...
1397091 tn?1296576718 Very little research has been done to see what side effects may occur with the use of skullcap. This is very true of most herbal supplements. We tend to assume that because something is natural it must be good for us. We forget that many poisons are also natural substances. Because there is so little research on most natural supplements there is little information available on side effects.

Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
883201 tn?1240626551 Try to find it in bulk if possibe a like a times they will have a mix of Skullcap, passionflower etc if that is all you can get then get it but reallytry to get Skullcap by itself. Call a bunch of stores and asked them Health food stores. Kava Kava is also known to help but did notihing to me.
642513 tn?1242605540 I was thinking about asking her if she can complement my treatment with herbs to manage the side effects. I think she has done that with Cancer patients in the past.. Has anyone else had any luck with Chinese herbs?
Avatar n tn probably not medication related. give her lots of attention and positive upbeat games. 'train' her out of this winney habit and encourage her to be a dog again. if it continues, feel her all over and make sure she does not have any areas of pain that would need attention.
5961981 tn?1394033182 m actually studying to become an herbalist. I have cabinets FULL of loose leaf herbs to make herbal teas with but I refuse to drink any of them during pregnancy. It's not JUST caffeine that is hthe potentially harmful ingredient. You can look up the German Commission E to read about teas that have and haven't been established as "safe" for pregnant women. I'm sure that as long as you steep for short amounts of time they should be fine.
Avatar f tn I've used skullcap as a general nervous system tonic- it's gentle, mildly sedative, and though the dosage can vary from person to person, (it might make you sleepy if you're sensitive) it's quite safe. I took it 2-3 times a day for a month to help with depression, anxiety, and general nervous system strength and adaptability. It doesn't make me sleepy, personally. i felt an improvement by the end of a few weeks!
Avatar m tn Which made me realize that I constantly exist with the upper left side of my body including my upper back chest and shoulder clenched and tightened. I try to relax it when not on a Benzodiazepine and I realize 30 seconds later that I am doing it again. This is a very odd phenomenon for me and would like any feedback available on this. Thanks.
Avatar f tn What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .
Avatar n tn i also have alot of random thoughts and alot of things remind me of people usual they just pop into my head. im trying to figure out whats going on and if it will just go away?
Avatar m tn You are not going to do permanent damage to your brain from a couple nights of drinking and smoking pot. I don't mean to encourage doing things that have some risk of creating dependency, but the actions of cannabis are temporary-- as are most of the effects of alcohol-- provided you aren't drinking to the point of alcohol toxicity (for example, drinking so much that you pass out, repeatedly).
Avatar n tn The severity of the difference would also be dependant on the length of your Herceptin treatment. Oncologists monitor these side effects very closely and I'm sure your Onc. will take this into consideration and discuss the risks of continuing your treatment. The longer the treatment the less the incidence of heart damage but each case is different. Regards ....
Avatar m tn I am going to see my doctor again soon, just to go over a few things, and hes well aware of the pot smoking, and doesnt see it as a big problem either. I was thinking about seeing a naturopath too, i guess it couldnt hurt. I'm not concerned about the money, and I think I have coverage for that through my work. At this point i'm willing to try anything.
Avatar m tn An x-ray cannot detect smoke, especially to a light smoker like you. However, the effects of smoking are diagnosed via x-ray, including emphysema and lung cancer. But there is a different case for heavy smokers, as the x ray result shows changes in the interstitial markings referred to as dirty lungs.
Avatar n tn There is not much standardized research done on this due to the illegal nature of marijuana. You can find MANY websites on the effects of cannibis and blood sugar, though and I am surprised you are on this one asking questions. Do you really think someone is gonna get on this site and admit to breaking the law????? Please!
Avatar f tn I have a close friend who has been addicted to marijuana for a long time, she also smoked during her pregnancy and no they did not test her for it when she gave birth. I don't know much on the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy but I strongly suggest that you look into that for the benefit of the baby. I know that she breastfed for quite a while, continuing to pass the drug onto her child. Our sons are the same age and have been friends since infancy.
Avatar f tn I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag! Honestly the best thing you can do is quit, every time you smoke your babies tiny heartbeat has to beat extremely fast as it struggles for oxygen!
4250130 tn?1351706401 Is Cognitive Psychotherapy recommended for treating ALL TYPES of depression? I learnt from my research for days now that antidepressants have much more negative effects than positive. Thank you.
Avatar f tn If you stop smoking, that's the best thing you can do. You are young, you've only smoked a couple of cigarettes and you can reverse the effects if you quit. Good for you for being concerned about it! Be tough and stop smoking now!
