t smoke, do exercise, am thin). My doctor put me on a diuretic, Tekturna and Bystolic, and within a week I had completely lost my sense of taste! Anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it's a side effect that will wear off if I just stick it out. The combination seems to be working well to lower my bp and hr but I'm losing weight (a bad thing) and really, really miss food!
ve decided (and sent an email) to talk to the NP at the pain clinic about switching me over to a long-acting medication for my pain. I'm thinking it will give me better relief. Even though I'm on a high dose now (45 mg. every 4 hours of oxycodone,) my pain seems to return after 2 to 3 hours. And I did have a bad flare-up this weekend; most likely due to the fact I ran low on medication due to my script not coming in the mail.
Now it's a question of which medication???
BT pain is not a new concept.
Of course, I've had pharmacists ask (when reading my Rx), "What is BT pain?"
Chronic pain is not taught in medical schools, except as a side. Perhaps we need a new word -- when people see "chronic pain" they probably believe its like the pain of a broken bone, only it lasts longer.
I have no idea what kind of education a pharmacy PhD grad receives on the disease state known as chronic pain.
While many doctors do prescribe a short acting med along with the long acting med, the short acting meds are typically written to be taking AS NEEDED for breakthrough pain (of course, also giving a time frame such as every 6 hours) - the breakthrough meds are not typically written to be taken EVERY day. In fact, the goal of a long acting med is to reduce the need for breakthrough meds. therefore, you may or may not need to take any more narcotic than what is in your long acting med.
I take 40 units Lantus (long acting), and sliding scale Novolog (fast acting) insulins. My bg is always so high in the mornings, I have to take Novolog and wait for sugar to come down to eat. I've had diabetes for many years, but never knew for sure which one! My dr would switch my diagnosis all the time. But went to endo and they did a blood test, and said I'm type 1. I'm angry my dr. never did anything about this.
Lisinpril can cause a chronic cough and you should stop this medication to see how the cough changes. It may be replaced with valsartan or candesartan which do not usually cause this side effect. The verapamil usually does not cause this side effect. This may not be related to your medications, and chronic cough or ' bronchial asthma' may actually be cardiac in nature ( e.g. CHF). Make sure your physician takes this other consideration into account.
You took it for too long to stop cold turkey. It could go on quite a while. I hate to see anyone go through that! I know all too well how it feels, and it's awful!
Like mom every weekday dad every weekend. I dont know how long you have been in the picture but I know with my oldest son when his grandmother started watchin him while I worked he was like you said a perfect angel after he got used to going there and getting a routine he acts up with her, before he would never do that. I think his problem is the juggling around. I think once that is stable he will calm down. He will get use to you being around and will settle down.
I have a 4 1/2 yr old male cat. He is quite a baby...throws up if I leave him for too long, etc. Does not like change at all! It seems that over the last week or so he seems afraid to come into the living room/kitchen area. That is where is food is at. Normally, he would be waiting for me at the door and would run to his food bowl. Now he just sits in the hall and seems afraid. If he does come to eat he takes a few bites then walks real fast back to the back of the house.
I think something is brewing... He's been acting kind of weird lately. Knowing him it could be anything.. for some reason I feel he might be trying to hide the fact that he may have someone else pregnant.. no real signs just a really strong feeling I have.. what's done in the dark will come to the light eventually. I can't be concerned I have to deliver my baby tomorrow.
I need to know how long it will take to get over the physical withdrawl of taking 15 percs a day?
Sorry, but it will be long, I just need advice.. So my husband and I have been married for two Years. He has three children from his previous marriage. We have the 8 year old and 6 year old and they misbehave constantly. I work a double on Tuesdays so he has them from when they get out of school til about 8 at night. No other days because I work while their in school so we don't need daycare. Well tonight, they had some issues. He's now saying he wants to give them back to their mom.
do i still wait it out? and for how long? if not...should i try a different long acting before getting to into the opana ...heard u tolerate quick...which wouldn't matter if the plan is to continue... but...i think u get what i'm asking...gotta sum it up eventually, right lol.
so lemme recap questions...so i can help u help me...
- has anyone gotten headaches and felt drowsy on opana er?
