Avatar n tn My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches. With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?
Avatar n tn Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him. Can someone help me with this. My son loves to go out and dance and maybe has a couple of beers is the beer causing the seizures or is the body heat causing the seizure? What should I do when he falls on the floor and jurks? He comes out of the seizure within 5 mins.
Avatar n tn She has since tested negative for H Pylori, and has been taken off Razadyne(24 mg ) for memory problems, put on Exelon (6mg patch), then taken off it after two weeks and more nausea. She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Still puzzling and frustrating. doctors are stumped (still) and I am feeling worthless because I cannot help her kick the nausea or find the cause. Really looking for help here. Any will be gratefully accepted.
Avatar f tn t calming her down any, and she did not refil the prescription. 2 months later she had another bad dream and the doctor was notified. He then prescribed exelon. My question: If she does not have Alzheimer's disease, why would he prescribe either of these medicines for her? If this is dimentia, aren't there other drugs out there for that or even drugs that have a claming effect? From what I have read about excelon, I am not sure if it is compatible with her heart medication.

She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Recently, she started back on the lower dose of Razadyne. Her neurologist doesn't think the medicine is the cause of the nausea, though it could be aggrivating whatever is causing it.

Avatar m tn t want to play around with these medications and cause yourself more problems. Call your doctor and explain your problem, he will know what to do. Take care.
Avatar n tn as a rule narcs can be stopped much less dangerously than heavy alcohol abuse//physically// cos as a rule there is no risks unless a narc user is old and has heart failure//mentally both r a true bumber//and aftercare for alcohol abuse is almost imperative cos it is everywhere//and drug abuse is not socially acceptable like alcohol is..peeps do not pass out oxys at the bowling alley like they do beers u didnt state what ur abuse issue was/or if there was one at all???..
Avatar n tn It would be helpful if the Exelon Patch advertisers didn't feel it was necessary to have their information on continual scroll. There is a reason why I don't read rolling credits at the end of a movie, too. They usually roll too fast to read and simply hurt my head and can trigger migraines. Most of the time I don't see rolling adds, but when I do, I'm put off. Uh...I did not search for anything that would have had anything to do with this particular advertiser.
Avatar f tn She suffers from hypothyroidism and is on synthroid and going to make sure they get the free t3/t4 levels and not just tsh. Continues Exelon Patch. Cranberry Tablets as She does suffers from uti's, but we monitor her carefully. I've gone to Life Extension Foundation and plan on getting her some supplements once her blood has been tested thoroughly for deficiencies. I've tried the coconut oil and aromatherapy w/o good results.
Avatar f tn Before you get in bath or shower. .if your patch is on ur arm..talk seran wrap and wrap it around your arm over the patch and tape edges so water won't seep in. If it is elsewhere. .put seran wrap over patch and tape around edges. To make sure your patch sticks better clean area with an alcohol wipe before applying. .wait for it to dry..then apply..you can also buy one of those big waterproof bandaids and place it over patch..but usually the don't stay on long.
Avatar f tn I'm currently on the 25mcg/hr Duragesic patch, and I'm not a fan. It could be that the dosage is too low, but it's far too inconsistent and it's been 3 weeks now. My pain is very apparent and keeping me from sleeping right now actually. At this point it's almost like a 20-30% reduction in my pain, and when I was on the morphine ER, it was generally 80%.
1165284 tn?1323455476 I am on Lupron .05ml and estridiol twice a day and a vivelle patch every three days. I am on the 23rd day of a IVF (donor cycle). My question is about alcoholic drinks. One nurse told me to re-frane from alcohol while I am on Lupron, the other nurse told me I don't really have to refrain until after the transfer. I have been refraining from alcohol, BUT, my husband and I go to dinner with all our friends every Friday night and I have had one glass of wine on two of those group dinners.
769333 tn?1235214424 Memory clinic dr ordered Exelon patch and 50 mg Seroquel, still did not work. After many sleepless nights and panic .25mg daily of Alprazolam together with 50mg Seroquel helped for a while. Seems whenever there is a change in his daily routines his sleep pattern also changes. (Friend visiting overnite or family get togethers) Seroquel was increased to 100mg. with 1 Alprazolam. His panic worse just before bedtime (10:30pm). Since this all started he has become consumed with urinating.
Avatar f tn The person I am referring to that died from OD of Fentanyl and alcohol is my dad. I have a voice mail from him that I saved from years ago and listen to it constantly. I called him almost everyday till his phone was shut off. I check his Facebook constantly and text him every once in a while, yearning for a reply. Although my dad was not young he still had a bit left to do in this world. when I see my friends with their dads, I get a pain in my chest.
Avatar f tn I would remove the wine first alcohol and the patch are a very dangerous mix. have you told the doctor you want off of your meds?
1140934 tn?1285129785 Try the search function there are a lot of posts on the patches falling off.I personally wash the area with alcohol before application and haven't had any problems.
Avatar f tn About a day or 2 later I had pain in my hand focussed around my knuckles of my middle 3 fingers and about 11 of so days later I picked at a patch of skin that was slightly white and ended up with an indent no pain on the spot at all. The patch was on my last knuckle before my nail. I dont know if I intially causes the patch because of mucking with it almost constant.
Avatar f tn An association was found between elevated ALT levels and the consumption of cigarettes and alcohol among anti-HCV-seropositive subjects. In multivariate logistic analyses, alcohol consumption (odds ratio [OR], 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-4.1) and smoking (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1-2.7) were significantly associated with elevated ALT levels among anti-HCV-seropositive subjects, but no such association was found among HBsAg-seropositive subjects.
614661 tn?1267273924 I am interested in the long term affects of using the patch, risks while using the patch and any other feedback would be appreciated. Thanks much. Oz...
Avatar m tn For the past week i have had this brown dry patch on my lip and it has began to increase in width daily. The patch started off unnoticeable and now it's very apparent. The area is numb like the feeling you get when you leave the dentist after an anesthetic is given to you. It feels like a pieces of tape is on my lip and when i run my tongue across the area it feels noticeably different from the rest of my lip.
Avatar m tn Doc Terri, Few days back i was in vegas strip club. I was drunk and i kissed a stripper (deep french for min or two) and kissed her breast too :( now exact two days later i got the white mark on my lower lips. Please see the images in link below and let me know if you think this is a cold sore ?? I have a mild sore throat but no fever. The white patch on my lips doesn't hurt and i been trying to remove it using my tooth too. Though my tongue kind of hurts.
Avatar f tn This population can be detected by using an ethanol patch test, which produces localized erythema. A special type of alcohol flush is also associated with chlorpropamide, the oral antihyperglycemic agent. Even small amounts of alcohol provoke intense flushing within a few minutes of ingestion. This flushing is not associated with sweating but, in some cases, tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypotension may be seen.
736475 tn?1281259327 along with all the other bad habits i am trying to quit, i figured i may as well add smoking to the list since i feel crappy and nuts anyway. i put a patch on yesterday and wore it to bed. i'm not sure if i hated it or if i can't wait to do it again tonight. i have always had very vivid and sometimes full length motion picture type dreams.(is there a forum for that?) this was so crazy because i couldn't tell i was asleep! any thoughts?
