I think it might be best to talk to your doctor about this particular one and it may be best to err on the side of caution and stop taking it.
Avatar m tn Also, you should never start a supplement without consulting your doctor first as even supplements can have side effects and interact with other meds. Ever since flaxseed oil hit the nutritional supplement market in the mid-80s, it's been promoted as a cure-all for dozens of diseases and conditions. But, for the most part, those “health claims” are unsubstantiated and, at best, shaky. Plus, there are serious side effects of flax seed oil.

Avatar m tn One very preliminary study hints that flaxseed oil may enhance the effects of conventional treatments for bipolar disorder when combined with conventional medications. But, another study did not find flaxseed oil to be beneficial for treating bipolar disorder in children. It has been suggested that flaxseed oil may have anticancer effects due to its ALA and lignan content.
Avatar m tn but the problem for me is it seems i have either a hypersensitivity in taking either one and develop side effects after a while where i seem to get headaches and an uncomfortable feeling in my throat... It's really a shame because the benefit are wonderful but the side effects are very annoying, to say the least...
Avatar n tn The Budwig diet is mainly composed of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese with restrictions on eating animal meats, butter and sugars. Some holistic health enthusiasts believe that cancer patients are deficient in essential lipids that cottage cheese mixed with flaxseed can replace. The scientific journal “Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift” published a study in 2012 that determined that cancer diets, such as the Budwig, diet do not cure cancer and can have adverse health effects.
Avatar n tn It does not specify which side effects are from potassium being too high and which are associated with it being too low, but you could certainly google "potassium too high" and get some good information.
Avatar f tn I asked my doctor (RE) about taking 81 mg of baby aspirin to encourage blood flow to the uterus but she said the effects are not proven and therefore she does not use it in her practice. I'd still like to try it, however..particularly because my menses was especially "clotty" this month (sorry tmi!). But I also take flaxseed oil and I want to make sure that taking both of these won't be an issue. I'm on my 4th round of clomid 100 mgs, days 3-7 with progesterone supps.
Avatar n tn t want to be on prednisone long term due to side effects. Of course, prescription arthritis meds tend to be very hard on the stomach and can cause serious side effects as well. You might ask the neurologist about an MRI. She might try more natural steps, in addition to the physical therapy, such as Sam-E, OTC (naturemade brand has had scientific studies), which is supposed to be good for joint health.
Avatar f tn I am about to start taking kelp pills, and was wondering what the risk or dangers would be to me. And are there any side effects to just taking them on thier own?

Avatar f tn I am just wondering, are there any hidden side effects or drastic long term side effects on the vital organs? I understand that there are no/ mild side effects, but is it possible that this drug might be damaging the organs without symptoms surfacing? I am only 14 years old, and, I am planning to take a combination of Oxiracetam+Alpha GPC, which could be found on the internet.
Avatar f tn Unless you have experienced the full brunt of side effects from statins, you can not state "just stick it out". The side effects are unbearable. I finally asked my doctor if it was really healthier that i went from someone who worked out at the gym 5 days a week to someone gobbling pain medicine and laying on the couch. I had no life on the meds and so, I opted to take the risk.
Avatar f tn I would listen to your cardiologist or internal medicine doctor if they are very familiar with this situation. Omega 3 fish oil and flaxseed oil can both sometimes increase bleeding in patients taking blood thinners like coumadin (warfarin), apirin, and plavix. In diabetics on glucose lowering drugs there is some evidence that suggest that flaxseed oil may increase fasting blood sugar levels.
Avatar n tn Am thowing the Advair away, especially now that my strength is back enough to look up the side-effects and dangers of this medicant. I suggest your Dr find you another solution.
1128145 tn?1260343690 I had no appetite, felt depressed and yes it has many serious side effects. But all pain medication does. Hopefully what your doctor is doing is ramping you up slowly which is what you want with this pain patch. It is too strong to do it all at once. So keep in daily contact with the doctor who prescribed it. Let them know you are still in a lot of pain. I personally don't like the patch and won't use.
Avatar n tn t been told to take oral flaxseed oil, or about the options of punctum plugs and restasis drops. I will certainly find some flaxseed oil and another opinion on my condition!
Avatar f tn My son received the same VariVax chickenpox vaccine 2nd dose twice, once last year and then the same vaccine (due to a change in pediatrician, not all immunization papers were faxed in to the new doc), was received last week after a year. Are there any dangers, side effects of receiving the same chickenpox 2nd dose vaccine TWICE a year apart? The child is 5 years old. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I suppose, you must not take it on long run. It has so many side effects. Common and less severe side effects may include blurred vision, involuntary quivering, non-coordination, trouble sleeping, drowsiness, difficult urination while severe effects may include high BP, slow heartbeat, seizure, rapid breathing, tremor and lots more. Talk to an immunologist.
