The Requip was no longer useful due to the severity of edema,sudden weight gain and increasing shortness of breath. Those symptoms are now slowly abating. I hated to give up the Requip, as I said, since it eradicated those "misery wakings", but nothing to be done for it. Thanks also for your suggestions; I was thinking of requesting a sleep study and shall do so.
Well, the Soma you're only supposed to take for two or three weeks, so if it's been that long, that's it for that drug. You're not supposed to take Wellbutrin with Clonazepam, so your doc will need to guide you in getting off the Wellbutrin slowly. Sometimes the frustration pain causes can depress a person, but you've got pain under control, so you might can see will the doc not give a replacement antidepressant for a while.
I asked my doctor to help me find out what was causing me to gain weight and not be able to loose. I work out at a gym 3 days a wk for 2 hrs sometimes more and not an ounce is lost. So she took blood and the same day gave me adapex, along with my normal scrpits of ambien and mirapex. So doctor knows best right? I go home read warnings nothing to indicate anything bad for me.
went to mayo and was diagnosed with Restless Leg Syndrome, which has the same symptoms of uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Weight gain, fatigue, weakness, muscle pain, etc, etc.
I am on a drug to increase my dopamine levels and after 5 nights on it, feel nearly 100% better.
For everyone with hypo who's #'s are okay, you might want to explore a sleep disorder.
So meds that work to increase dopamine levels have been helpful as well- meds like the muscle relaxer, Baclofen, the antidepressant Wellbutrin, and the Parkinson drug Mirapex, which is also good for Restless Legs Syndrome which is a fibro symptom.
Alternative treatments and treating underlying causes of fibro, such as sleep apnea and thyroid disease have proven helpful as well.
Thank you for your feedback. We would also love it if doctors would give out MedHelp's URL to their patients to help track symptoms. Then their patients could just click Email This on their trackers and send it to their doctors for review.
We could easily add Restless Legs as a symptom and Mirapex as a treatment to the Sleep Tracker. Would that work for you?
I loose a lot of sleep. I get in day and night. My arms even jerk and have that restless feeling. Mirapex is taken twice a day and don't help. No drs will address it and I'm miserable . Is this a lack of a vitamin or mineral. Do I ever get rid of them?
This is the time in your life more than ever that you should be eating healthy and exercising regularly. Expect to gain weight ; that is healthy and necessary for most women, but if the gain happens too quickly you MUST Work with your OB to ensure that you are as healthy as possible.
I would really listen to Alaysha's advice personally.. She's a model and one of the most stunning pregnant women I've ever seen, so I'd follow her rules for healthy weight gain personally lol.
I have taken quite a bit of different antibiotics back in May. I have stopped taking it a about 3 weeks ago, maybe longer and noticed that I have a hard time gaining weight now. I have had bad anxiety and depression as well recently which may have caused my appetite to go down drastically but when it comes back I start to eat a lot and it doesn't seem like I can gain weight like I used too.
