417274 tn?1202937034 My question is how long until the Zegerid they switched me to will stop working too? I have also been taking Zantac the entire time as well. I have already been tried on all the others and they just don't work, so unless something new comes out and my trend continues, my fear is that I'll be sunk with chronic issues that just won't heal.
Avatar m tn I had to take a seat i was so blown away. That indication meant to me that I was to suffer with this pain forever. I know for a fact that this was originally caused by an std but they detect nothing. As I sit and type this my legs burn, testicles burn (especially when sitting) and I feel so far away from normal. Tired, depressed (i'm taking stuff for that..celexa).

Avatar m tn My 18 year old daughter spent the last 4 months weening off Pristiq and now feel she really needs something for depression and anxiety. So my question, how long to start feeling the effects of Zoloft? She is starting at 50 mg for a week then moving up to 100mg. Any information would be helpful.. I realize everyone is different, but would like to know some experiences.
Avatar f tn If you are planning on working after you have the baby, it is good to work for as long as possible before the baby comes. here's why--- that time you take off counts toward your short term disability and the family medical leave. There are maximum days associated with both of those and you'd be using them to have the baby early. I worked until close to my due date with my first taking a few vacation days.
Avatar m tn I should have said how long will it for the symtoms to begin to go away?
Avatar n tn you have to be very sure there is an actual infection, than the culture needs to show what antib will work for that strain. and how long it will take to kill it, if you don't use a strong enough dose or not for a long enough time, the infection will return with a vengeance and become a super bug that most antibiotics won't cure..this is than 'antibiotic resistant' Are you not able to take this cat to a Vet and have the culture done?
1709162 tn?1314084832 Thank you for your comment. I am going to bear with the antibiotics as I have only three days left to take them . If I get any worse I will go to the doctor just hope that they eradicating the infection and I don't have to take more antiobiotics!!
Avatar f tn Have been religiously taking the antibiotics. Have no symptoms. Caught it very early, it would seem. So, all I want to know is how long do I have to keep taking the antibiotics? And when can I kiss my partner again? No body, including doctors seem to be able to give me a straight answer. No sex and three months of antibiotics has been mentioned by one doctor, another said it will all be over in a couple of weeks. Any clue?
Avatar f tn Why should you take antibiotics if your heart is structurally normal? Dentists are very aware of this problem, and by the slightest suspicion they will usually give you antibiotics, either systemic meds or rinsing your mouth. Usually, this is done if people suffer from valve dysfunction, previous heart surgery or previous peri/myo/endocarditis. Antibiotics in general do not prolong QT.

1676653 tn?1391039945 I stopped taking BC in Nov. and got pregnant in Dec. Sometimes it depends on how long you have been taking BC as to how quickly you can become pregnant... Although I have also gotten pregnant while on BC before.
Avatar m tn s and the symptoms so the symptoms are unrelated to that? Antibiotics work pretty fast. You normally see some improvement in 48 hours and are fully recovered in a week to 10 days. But if you never actually got a diagnosis -- you might not have anything the antibiotics would treat. If you have a frequent urge to pee and it hurts, possibly a UTI. And that can be diagnosed with a urine test. Different antibiotics treat different things.
Avatar m tn I have had all types of xrays, prostate exams and everything has been negative. I used doxy for 4 weeks, didnt work for me either. I'm starting to wonder if this infection is actually indeed due to sex? Doesnt always have to be. Heavy lifting and extraneous exercise can result in tract infections and things of that nature. I started taking a healthy prostate vitamin and it seems to help more than antibiotics. Some of them are really expensive but I believe they work when antibiotics wont.
Avatar m tn t go away completely, when should I go back to seek further treatment/help? I heard it can take up to 2 weeks for symptoms to completely disappear.
Avatar m tn How long does it take for the puss to clear once u start taking the antibiotics?when will u see a change in the discharge?
