I live in a dry house. 3 days ago I got a random drug test. It came back positive for MDMA. Is this possible when I’m taking 300mg of Trazodone and 50mg of Phenergan? ## Trazodone's active and primary metabolite is meta-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), a drug that is sometimes used as an ingredient in formulations of X. The mCPP is probably what triggered the false positive.

I can't remember anything since I started taking Amitriptyline 50mg a day for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I used to be on a quiz but all the answers I used to know have gone. Is it just me? ## NIH reports do state that it has been known to alter someone's mental state, and to cause confusion as side effects, along with nausea, weight changes, hypertension, fatigue, tinnitus, hair loss, and frequent urination, to name a few. It could be that it just isn't the right medication to help you, it might a good idea to double check with your doctor, and get their opinion on this, you might need to try a different medication. Do you take anything else?

I have been taking these pills for a while but I’ve forgotten the name and I’m not allowed near them. I’m trying to figure out the name again for a project in school. ## Hello, Angel! How are you? Have they actually been prescribed by a doctor? Can you just ask the name of them? Are there any other markings on them? In the U.S. all manufactured prescription tablets are required to have unique imprints on them to enable their identification, in case of emergency by FDA law. Thus, if there are no markings on it, that most likely means it is some type of over the counter product. How often are they given to you and who is dispensing them to you?

Is it safe from a foreign country? I'm still a little Leary . ## Hello, Rusti! How are you? If it is available via a U.S. pharmacy, then it has passed the same quality and efficacy standards as all others, regardless of which country it is from. This medication is an SSRI antidepressant which may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've taken 50mg of sertraline for 24 years. During that time, I would periodically try to get off it. But after about 2 days, I would feel myself go down and resumed taking it. It's been quite a while since I've made this attempt again, so more than a week ago I discontinued sertraline (Lupin Pharma) and I don't feel any different than when I took it. My th...

I need to know the Long Term Effects of taking Cymgen for longer than 6months and will my depression be cured after taking the drug for a while? ## This medication contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, it is an SSNRI antidepressant. The common side effects you can expect may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight gain. However, these should actually taper off, after a few weeks, as your body adjusts to the medication. As to your depression being cure, that really depends on what is causing it. If it is just due to some temporary things that are happening in your life and they clear up, then the medication may be just enough help to get you through this rough patch. However, if your depression is caused by other issues, such as mental illness, then it will more than likel...

I had previously worked as a police officer for just short of 3 decades, and the last 15 years of that was as an undercover narcotics investigator. I had not slept more than 4 hours in the last 20 years .

I want to stop using this drug . Please tell me a safe way. To get off sertraline ## Hello, Kathy! How are you? Sertraline actually isn't addictive, but your body does get used to it, after you've been taking it for a long period of time. Stopping it may cause some withdrawal effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, pain, anxiety and rebound depression. A slow taper is usually best. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you set up a tapering schedule. ## Can I take Zoloft and black seed oil or do I need to stop the Zoloft? I have Hpylori and instead of doing the triple drug regimine I would rather do black seed oil. ## Did you try these two together? I am looking to do the same.

I AM CURRENTLY ON A VERY EFFECTICE EATING PLAN AND EXERCISE ROUTING FOR LOSING WEIGHT. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN USING LEXAMIL 20MG FOR 3 WEEKS NOW CAN CANNOT MANAGE TO SHED ANY MORE WEIGHT ## Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram and it is actually not known to cause significant weight gain. In clinical trials, after 6 months of use, most people have gained less than 0.6kg. It may be just your body adjusting to your current diet and exercise regimen. This can happen with any plan, like this, and it can cause weight loss to slow. Are there any other questions? ## Hi good day.

My Paroxetine prescription looked completely different and is oval & pink instead of white & round. I reacted like I was never on Paxil. Has anyone else had a similar experience? ## I was on a 10mg Paxil tablet that was white and scored (so it could be cut in half to 5 mg). Double check to make sure the pill matches the prescription bottle description. You can also check on the internet or call your local pharmacist to be sure. ## Hello Richard, After doing some research I noticed that most of the Paroxetine medication that comes in the form of round pills often has the label "extended release" and the oval pills do not. It is possible that the pills you are accustom to taking release slower into your system than the ones you are now taking. I would need to know the mark...

i started taking lexapro about 2 weeks ago and have gotten a tingling sensation in my arms and legs especially on my left side... Is anybody else getting this, please help I really like what lexapro is doing for my anxiety but I'm scared I could be getting a wierd side effect.. help ## Hi Jen30 - while a tingling sensation is not listed as a common side effect of Lexapro, if this is the only drug which you are taking, and the tingling started within the time you started taking it, I would be inclined to think the same thing as you. Any changes in your eating or sleeping habits? Are you taking any other medications with this? ## I just started Laxapro and I too have tingling in my legs. A more serious side effect has been cramping in my legs and groin. Never had this before Lexapro. ...

I've been on Paxil 5mg tablet (I cut a 10mg tablet in half) for about 2 years. I recently had increased stress in my life so my PCP up'd me to 10 mg which caused increased weight gain and lowered libido. So, I was started on Wellbutrin 75mg daily and told to stop the Paxil as I probably wouldn't have any side effects since I was on such a low dose for so long. I'm sensitive to drugs so I'm not sure. I am on day 5 of no Paxil and taking Wellbutrin and feel that what I may be experiencing are minor brain zaps as my brain adjusts. I assume that's it. Anyways, how long before I should not see side effects of Paxil withdrawal? How do I know it's not a side effect of Wellbutrin? ## Nikki, According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness if you cold turkey Paxil...

Hi I have been taking Mirtazapine 15mg for one week.

Help!! ## Hello, Adele! How are you doing? Has there been any change? That can happen, when you first start taking this type of medication, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. However, things usually improve after about 3 to 4 weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. If they do not, or if they worsen, you should consult your doctor as you may need to try a different medic...

## I've been taking this pill which i was told would help me sleep. They're Trazodone HCL 50mg tabs. It says on the bottle that it's for insomnia. Is this a sleeping pill and what does it do?

The pill imprint IG 213 is in fact 50mgs of Sertraline. I actually had my script filled with those and thought they were "purple footballs" (Xanax), but I looked a little closer and noticed that the numbers weren't normal. So I looked them up online as well and found out to my dismay that Sertraline 50mg is a generic of Zoloft used for depression. Of course, it had me fooled. ## Correct, this tablet contains Sertraline 50 mg (NDC 31722-0213). Inactive Ingredients: - Dibasic Calcium Phosphate Dihydrate - Hydroxypropyl Cellulose - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Magnesium Stearate - Sodium Starch Glycolate Type a Potato - Titanium Dioxide - Hypromellose 2910 (3 Mpa.s) - Hypromellose 2910 (6 Mpa.s) - Polyethylene Glycol 400 - Polysorbate 80 - Fd&c Blue No. 2 Ref: DailyMed
