My mother is 79 and was put on Lyrica..( not to sure why), but apparently gained 40 pounds in 7 weeks, and I for soure don't want that. Extra weight is also hard on us with MS........
Avatar f tn ) for dosing guidelines, but be sure to check with a licensed physician. Also check ilads (dot) com for Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines. There may be useful information there. Also did you try searching something like "lyme disease iv rocephin dose"? Checking with an MD is important before proceeding with any such treatment. No one here is medically trained to my knowledge.
707563 tn?1626361905 Hi everyone - We've had to delete quite a few posts lately about tapering. While it's ok to talk about it, we can't not allow people to give tapering schedules, dosing info, etc., as only a doctor can do that. Please read the top 2 posts in this forum for posting guidelines. Thanks for understanding.
Avatar m tn Hi there. We don't allow dosing guidelines of medication to be given here. You should check with your doctor for guidance.
Avatar f tn No safety or efficacy data are available in patients with renal impairment who received VIREAD using these dosing guidelines, so the potential benefit of VIREAD therapy should be assessed against the potential risk of renal toxicity. VIREAD should be avoided with concurrent or recent use of a nephrotoxic agent.
Avatar f tn s not unusual for people to have to fork out money to pay privately for FT3 and FT4 in U.K, due to the guidelines of the NHS, which often leave patients ill for very long times because labs can't test FT levels if TSH is normal, even if the doctor orders it. Many of our members end up going completely private in order to get the treatment they need.
Avatar f tn In my country, Sweden, the recently updated guidelines for geno 3 are that treatment can be shortened to 16 weeks for geno 3s if they are on weight based dosing. However, it is stated in the guidelines that this means 10% lower SVR rate.

Avatar f tn BEcca we would love to help but it is ageist the guidelines to give out any dosing instructions best to call a doctor google sub they have a 1-800 # for info good luck and God bless......
Avatar m tn In general, the guidelines are double for illness over 100, and 100mg IV (or IM) bolus for surgery, crisis etc. You should for exercise add salt (AI is a salt wasting disease - the degree that you waste can depend but sweating will make you lose fluids). So keeping hydrated is very important for you - more important than most.
Avatar f tn My doc told me it was fine to take Tylenol sinus, stay within dosing guidelines. Also a humidifier and if you don't want to use Vicks on your body (i did no issue) put it in a wax warmer next to you. Feel better!

Avatar f tn Call your local pharmacist. We at MedHelp are not allowed to give out dosing instructions. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you exactly how to dose the medications. If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.
Avatar f tn Sophie, I am sorry you are feeling so poorly. It is a violation of our guidelines to provide any information regarding dosing, etc. Go to Suboxone.com and there you can do your research and even find a new doctor. I hope you get this straightened out soon and it all works out for you. Stick around here for support.
648987 tn?1231201877 Stella guided me in the dosing of Armour and timeframe, but unfortunatley the Doctor goes more slowly than the guidelines, so you are probalby right in your idea of it being more hypo symptoms. I was truly hoping in taking Armour the direct route would compensate for the needed increase. This disease is such a hurry up and wait game.
Avatar f tn I am even embarassed to even share my story with you. I have abused prescription drugs since my high school days. And I did get clean from some of them. But when the doctor put me on Lyrica for my fibromyalia, (I'm so ashamed to tell this), but I found that by taking 6 Lyrica capsules (90 mgs each) at one time, it made me feel really good. This last time I went through bottle in about a week and I feel Horrible! I did not know coming off of Lyrica could make you so sick.
Avatar f tn One common problem I see with benzonatate, is that many doctors under prescribe the milligram dosing. The dosing guidelines were changed to reflect a more effective dosing but that info did not reach many of the doctors for some reason. The new dosing is: In children or those under 100 lbs. dosing is 100mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. For adults dosing is 200-400mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
Avatar f tn Interactions with other drugs must be considered, and therapy in elderly patients requires careful management. Current dosing recommendations are reviewed, and practical guidelines for the optimal use of warfarin are provided". Hope this helps, and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond. Thanks for your question. Take care.
Avatar m tn t handle the weight gain, tiredness and bloating that I felt while on Lyrica, although it helped me immensely with pain. Lyrica is an anti-seizure medication too. I switched to Topamax because it didn't cause weight gain and my insurance finally covered it and I was very curious about it. Topamax has helped me with my migraines and is more energizing than Lyrica, although my doctor has told me that many people get tired on it.
