Avatar n tn mailed him about it and he doubled the omeprazole dose and perscribed one other medication that would control acid in a different way. During this time I developed what I can only describe as a "pounding heartbeat"...my heart doesn't beat faster...I've measured the bpm many times and it's the same as usual, however it feels like my heart is beating much harder.
Avatar m tn s the causes of depression? Does it relate to the neurotransmitter? Diazepam is an anti-depressant? It enhances the effect of GABA by binding to the benzodiazepine site on the GABA A-receptor. After binding to the receptor, may i know what's the next mechanism? GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter? If GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, how does diazepam can cause anti-depress? I heard that it can treat seizure?
Avatar m tn I have had sleep apnea for a long time, and have read that I should not be taking a drug like diazepam as this could be extremely dangerous. Is this true ?
Avatar m tn In addition I am tapering off diazepam and down to 2mg in the morning and 1 at night. Everytime I try to get off the concerta I get terrible anxiety from it. I have it to a degree while on it also. I want off but my dr who takes 3 weeks to get into anyway, won’t switch me to a med I can taper off of. I know 3 weeks is a short time compared to what most of you have been through. But can someone please tell me how long my withdrawals are going to last??
Avatar m tn s patients usually have low or no acid which makes me concerned about taking this. And I read about ensuring you space out when you take omeprazole. I also have low ferritin and was taking iron, which I saw online is contradicted. Does anyone have experience with taking this?
Avatar m tn It reduces cognitive function long term,libido,you would not be able to drive some people will lie to thier friends and family AND thier Doctor over thier Diazepam taking habits (as in how much they eventually take as one dose). I never drank Alcohol to excess, but after massive urological surgery I was given it as a muscle relaxant, I was on it 10 years,10 LOST years.
Avatar m tn Hi all, I was commenced on xanax 12 mths ago for panic attacks. My GP (and to be honest me) felt we needed to keep increasing the dose. Within 3 mths I was on 6mg per day (in 3 divided doses). It almost cost me my marriage, job, home and friends. I found a new GP, whom recognised what was happening (i.e. I was addicted to xanax and loving it but a voice in the back of my head told me things were not right - hence finding another GP).
Avatar n tn It is not - these things are very hard to regulate. Secondly, (and please someone prove me wrong as i hope that I am) I have never heard of diazepam coming in capsule form - all that I have ever seen or heard of is in a tablet of some sort. Why did you not just get this from a doctor? Sure doctors are a little expensive to see if you have no money; however, the prescription itself is not that expensive at all.
3166043 tn?1514260018 I was wondering how "bad" this pill is? I take 5mg twice daily along with propanol and my lexapro but I see people saying not to stay on it for long and I've been on it a little over 2 years. I also take a pill when needed during a panic attack. I'm afraid what it's doing to my body besides helping the anxiety and how long are you supposed to be on it?
152264 tn?1280354657 I was told not to take diazepam as it will also suppress baby. Particularly in first and last trimester.
Avatar n tn Is Valium only used for a short period or for long term treatment for panic attacks and anxiety?
1352638 tn?1277025232 1/4 of a 4????? What exactly does that mean. I take 1/2 of 5mg and it just relaxes me. It is more of a muscle relaxant. I don't understand your 1/4 of a 4. What is the 4? And yes. Anxiety can do all kinds of things to you.
Avatar f tn I was told that i had anxiety chest pain and they injected diazepam 5 mg and then a nurse came in to check my vitals again. My blood pressure was 124/87 or so. I was then sent home that night. I still feel that pressure in my chest and it truly worries me even though they keep telling me it's not heart related. I had seen a psychiatrist the day before this for the first time in some clinic and he told me that I was depressed and I should take Paxil.
Avatar f tn We first weened her from lorazepam to diazepam, and then tapered her down and completely off diazepam. It took about a year. I have nothing good to say about psychiatrists at all. Money grubbing pill pusher. Find a doctor who will work with you. The Ashton Method will work, you need to be patient, and be able to get access to xanax and then diazepam. Best of luck.
Avatar m tn At first my wife had urinary infection, few weeks later she started to have fever and stomach problems, the docter told her it was a gastroenteritis. I bought her omeprazole and gave her amoxicilline, that worked. She felt fine, but few weeks later she had urinary infection symptoms again. The doctor gave her antibiotics again, that helped her.
Avatar m tn Following a valve replacement and triple bypass I was discharged from Hospital with a number of drugs and a new one being Omeprazole. I did not know why it was prescribed but after a number of months taking it I decided after discussion with my Doctor to stop taking it. A few months later through the night I got this terrible chest pain on a scale of 1-10 I guess it was 7-8.
Avatar f tn I have GERD and a hiatal hernia and have been taking omeprazole twice a day every day for a few months (I had been on Prevacid for several years before the omeprazole but insurance won't cover it any more). If your main symptom is burping, I would try going off of the omeprazole and switching to gas-x or some other type of gas relief medicine. As long as you aren't having a lot of problems with heartburn or acid reflux, you would probably be fine to discontinue using the omeprazole.
Avatar m tn Hi. I am taking omeprazole for laryngopharyngeal reflux for the past 2 days. I am supposed to take two pills daily, one before breakfast and one before dinner. Today, i started having this feeling that food is stuck in my chest and back of my throat but I don't have any problems swallowing. It is an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. I did not have this symptom prior to starting the drug. Is this a side effect of the drug?
581954 tn?1223391496 Is it possible for this to be a side effect from Omeprazole? And how long does it take to get out of your system? I have heard it could take 3 months and I have heard it won't take longer than a week??
Avatar n tn Now due to the pregnancy, it seemed to worsen as I experience painful heartburns. My doctor recommends I take omeprazole along with antacids. I've been taking antacids because I know they don't bare side effects on pregnancy. I am not sure though with omeprazole. I'm scared. I am afraid it might harm the baby. Anyone here experienced the same?
Avatar n tn t correct the underlying problem, but it can alleviate a good deal of the pain associated with ulcers by reducing the amount of stomach acid (the actual substance causing the pain). Omeprazole and other PPIs can and do give ulcer patients a better quality of life while they heal.
