Avatar f tn Having sex every other day is a good way to help conceive faster. It gives the sperm time to build up so he'll have a higher down count when you guys have sex.
Avatar f tn I'm 16 I started my cycle at 13 I've been on the pill to help with my severe cramps and around January 2012 I had a break through period that should have not been there I went to the ob gyn and they said I was still developing and it should be fine, but it never fixed itself from then to now I've been on depo which didn't work, estradiol, and the implanon, which all have not worked. I have been bleeding every day or every other day out of the year.
Avatar f tn I just saw your post. I take 50 mcg's of synthroid every other day and I feel like a million bucks after doing so. I did it on my own because I felt and looked like **** when taking it everyday. I skip the medicine entirely every other day. It's a mistake to take two different doses every other day. Just stick with one dose every other day and give your body a total rest from the medicine every other day. I don't know why it works but it works.
Avatar m tn i have a 2 yr old little girl who has been having loose stools every other day for the past few months. the frequency is normal (1-3 x's)per day but its starting to worry me. She is not weak or anything, infact she is full of energy but im starting to get a little worried.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with GERD because I have heartburn and I often regurgitate. However, for the past month I have felt like something is stuck in my throat and I am getting nausea every single night. It is so incredibly frustrating. I'm good for most of the day, and then 6-7pm hits and I get nausea. I have to lay down. The only thing that helps is going to sleep. I am on Nexium and it has done nothing. I still feel the same. Doc just told me to try Prilosec OTC so I started that today.
Avatar m tn I would suggest you go to one dose every other day for one week, then one dose every 3 days for a week, then one dose per week for 1 week. By this time you should be able to stop altogether.
Avatar f tn I started taking nexium about 3 weeks ago an I started having pain in my right knee, I tried taking it every other day but the pain still kept on.I was taking pepcid also and they both helped me with the acid reflux, but they both gave me joint an knee pain.
Avatar n tn 35 yrs old. I've had acid reflux for about 10 years - started taking aciphex, then switched to prilosec, and now have been taking Nexium for 5 years or so. By taking one of those magical pills each morning, i'm able to eat anything and feel great. But if i forget to take a pill, i'll feel it (usually about 35 hours without taking a pill). I recently met with my primary care doctor, and he said it was dangerous to be taking Nexium long-term, every day. Is this true?
Avatar m tn Tried alternating 20/40mg every other day. It was just as good as taking 40mg every day. Then i tried 20mg every day but after 3 days could not tolerate the reflux. I'm 265lbs, tried loosing weight but could not. I walk, jog, swim, hike, lift weights. Would not be able to do any of those activities without Nexium. I even tried Prilosec a few times and it also worked for me. As long as i took 40mg PPI daily i could function. With PPI i can eat anything.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else experienced only nexium working? I have used all other medicines and they don't seem to work, but now my insurance company wont pay for it.
Avatar n tn t any other ones left for me to try. I was on nexium at 40 mg/ day. Then I cut to 40 mg ev other day with 20 mg on the off days. then down to 20 mg each day. right now I am at 20 mg every other day. I spent about 2-3 weeks at each dosage change; the first week was a bit rough in each case, definitely some flare ups and I had to take a lot of malox. But it now seems to be about as controlled at 20 mg ev other day as it was at 40 mg every day.
Avatar f tn I have had this since the beginning of tx, but is is extremely painful and worse now. My doc has prescribed Levsin and Nexium. Nexium makes my joints hurt, so I stopped taking it. Does anyone know of anything I can do or take to make me able to exist w/out pain and GI inflamation? Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn Entecavir is very expensive in Philippines. Can I take it every other day? Or Can I split it to half?
Avatar m tn Anyone know whether it is okay to take levothyroxine every other day? I am prescribed 75 mg for hypothyroidism, but due to insurance I decided to take levothyroxine every other day and 6 months later my blood test showed that my thyroid levels were...normal. How can this be?? In fact, I really have not felt any side effects from this decreased dosage.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I have variable pain day to day. Almost like clock work it is low one day, moderate or high the next, low, moderate until after I haven't injured myself for a while then it startst to level off. I did notice that when I took either Tylenol or Celebrex on the bad day it started to break the cycle. Any suggestions or has anyone seen this?
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take every other day. I find that it does help my depression when I take it this way but I am not sure if it is going to cause more problems by taking it this way. Thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn I recently had a colonoscopy and my gastroenterologist asked me if I really needed it every day. He said there have been reports of hip/joint issues and recommended I try to take it every other day. It seems to work alright but sometimes I get a bout of chest pressure and when I take a nexiium, it goes away after a few hours.
Avatar n tn As advertised, Prilosec can take 4 days to work because it is very slow acting, therefore, another alternative is to take OTC 20mg every other day. If recommended by a Dr., Prilosec can be safely taken for years.
Avatar m tn s esophagus, Hiatal hernia, acid reflux, IBS, gas and diverticulitus. I have been on Nexium 40mg twice a day, but I still wake up with the pain. Could this be caused by an ulcer ? I also noticed that the pain seems to go away after a bowl movement or if I eat. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
679466 tn?1247006054 What are the risks? For example - i take Nexium every day, and that prevents any uncomfortable acid issues. If i stop taking the pill, i feel the heartburn. So - if i take 1 pill every day for the rest of my life, of any of the above named medications, what are the risks?
Avatar f tn Thanks so much for your response. I've not tried doing 80 mg every other day or every third day. That sounds like a reasonable idea. I have been using Maalox (which gives me diarrhea) and now Pepcid complete. Not helping at all. I have an appt. with my GI doc on Monday afternoon. I've tried Protonix and Prevacid and neither worked. Maybe its time for Aciphex and we'll see how I do.
Avatar n tn Will be on this regimen for 30 days and then slowly cut back dosage to maintenance level of 40mg once a day every other day.
1569985 tn?1328247482 I was told to first reduce the amount of Nexium by half every other day (40 mg. one day, 20 mg the next). I did this for several weeks, using a generic antacid (containing calcium an, magnesium) if I needed to. But I found it didn't need to use the antacid very often if I ate small meals every few hours and avoided trigger foods. After a few more weeks, the doctor told me to try taking just 20 mg of Nexium every other day, using the generic antacid as needed if I felt a little reflux.
Avatar m tn Been taking Zantac effervescent regularly and have tried every other drug known to man but the doctor suggested we try 20mg Nexium a day to see if that helps. It has, but after 10 days now I seem to be getting worse again. Also started taking Gaviscon (again) before meals. The question is how long do we take the Nexium? permenently, or stop when I feel better? the doctor was vague abd said the usual; come back in 2 weeks and let me know how you are. Anybody have any side affects?
