Avatar n tn Hi, The golden rule is unless recommended by a doctor, do not take supplements, get the necessary nutrients directly from food only. Supplementation can very often overdose your body with vitamins and minerals, which can adversely affect. In your case, stop if possible, the supplements for few days and see if the symptoms go away, if so, do not take them, orelse, talk to your doctor about the symptoms.

585477 tn?1218360618 but, you are not in the best place right now to be caring full-time for your children. You are vulnerable, anxious, scared, confused, hurt. And, obviously...if you are suicidal, you are not in the best frame of mind. YOU are going to change that. The BEST revenge, wanda...is living well. When, down the road you can free yourself from this man...and be happy with YOURSELF because YOU have made things good for yourself and your kids....THAT will be the Karma.

Trilostane (or an alternative treatment lysodren) can in some patients overly suppress cortisol production. The signs of which may include GI upset- anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea- decreased ability to respond to stress and others.

Avatar m tn i had purchased a 70 mg vyvanse pill, took 1/4 of it yesterday and the other 3/4 this morning, so today i was on about 50 mg. after school i was with my friend and started to experience terrible muscle contractions in my hands, forearms, feet, and calfs; i couldn't move my hands or feet AT ALL and it felt as if i was clenching those muscles as hard as i could and i could NOT stop this. I began to feel nauseous, and started vomiting.

1497889 tn?1289404618 I have been on Prednisone for about 5 years on and off. One day I woke up after a long night of partying...I had Asthma like symptoms. Went to my primary doctor, put me on the Prednisone cycle (40 mg for few days, then 30, then 20...and it worked). Few weeks later, the same symptoms came back again since I was off the steroid... he recommended consulting with other specialists...I saw 2 rheumatologists, 2 or 3 lung specialists, Cardiologist.
