Can any of these show up as a false positive for cocaine? I was in a criminal facility and had to take a urine test to visit. I came up positive for cocaine but I am not a cocaine user. I offered to go to another location. They denied my request. They will not let me visit this person until their time is done. I'm really upset. I have read on several sites the doxycycline hyc can show positive. The person administering the test insisted nothing but cocaine shows up as cocaine. I am not a user. They told me if I want to have a visit I need to go to a 90-day counselor for alcohol and drug abuse. Please help me, I am not an abuser.

I need to ask you more is any other pills for severe depression sometime I feel like I'm going to be crazy please. ## There are many other medications available, such as SSRIs like Paroxetine or Sertraline and SNRIs that include Venlafaxine and Duloxetine. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. The Bupropion can actually cause nervousness in some people, so it might not be the right medication for you. How long have you been taking it?

I was on 30 mg of lexapro for 2 years when it pooped out. I was wondering what dose would be comparable to that of zoloft. I know everyone reacts differently and there's not an exact dose eequivalency but from people's experience or charts what is the closest dose of that in zoloft, so I can have an idea of where i want to be without starting from day 1 again. Thanks in advance

I took Trazodone 50 for only 4 days. Doc and pharmacist said not to take it with my Trepaline. Stopped Trepaine cold turkey after 10 years.Trazodine was for pain relief for FM. Without Trepaline my muscle spasms went into overdrive. Worse pain than before! My whole pain protocol was stuffed. I had severe occipital headaches, giddy and drowsy and a panicked feeling, muscle pains, stomach aches, nausea, dry mouth, blurrex vision and diarrhea. I threw Trazodone in bin. Will never take it again! ## Sherry, OMG, I can't believe your dr prescribed you Trazodone, something so contradictory to a medicine you've taken for how many years? Trepaine. I'm not familiar with Trepaine but I am with Trazodone. Then one or both told you to just stop with the Trepaine? That's crazy. I took...

i have suffered from panic attacks for about 4 years now. Dr gave me Ativan to take when I felt one coming on. Earlier this year the Ativan seemed to quit working and the attacks were happening daily. Dr started me on Paxil 4 months ago. It has really helped with my attacks but I gained 30 lbs on it. Friday I was started on a viibryd starter pack. Today is my second day with it and I can already feel the attacks coming back under the surface. Is this normal? ## Hello, Jon! How are you? Yes, that can be normal. Usually, you'll experience withdrawal effects from stopping the one medication, accompanied with side effects of starting the new one. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. If it gets too severe, you should co...

Hello I'm Doug. I'm looking for a manufacturer of citalopram 20 mg that has polyethylene glycol 4000 or better in it ! Would love to try the 8000.... Drs or pharmacist don't have the time nor the resources to figure it out grrrr... Caraco doesn't make it anymore... And I have researched it myself for a while now!!!! I have also found that apotex doesn't make it any more also. grrrr :-P would love some help or suggest a data base that's up to date! My brain doesn't work the same and I am struggling to figure this out! Polyethylene glycol just helps me to absorb the citalopram and I function better! Thanks :-D ## Hi Doug, I have been taking Citalopram manufactured by Caraco for close to a year now. I was on name brand Celexa for 16 years before finding an off b...

I took the white M77 for years, one and a half year ago my script provder changed it to the blue 1201 v. during this time I have developed extremely dry mouth which I never had all the years I took the m77. I dont know yet. could this change to blue 1201 v, be contributing to my extremely dry mouth? thank you very much ## Yes, it certainly could be what's causing it, there may be different inactive ingredients in this tablet, or you may be getting a slight bit more of the active ingredient and dry mouth can be one of the normal side effects of Amitriptyline. Learn more Amitriptyline details here. When I have medications that cause dry mouth, I've found that sucking hard candy tends to help with it. Are there any other questions or comments? ## well this dry mouth, is devastating...

My wife has very bad anxiety. She can't sleep more than an hour or two a night. Her dr. says it's depression, which she doesn't have. I'm just wondering if Zoloft is right choice for her. She has been taking it but doesn't seem to be helping. ## Zoloft can help with both conditions, my husband takes it for anxiety. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain. What dosage is she on and how long has she been taking it? It takes about 4 to 5 weeks for this medication to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body.

I am 48 yrs old and have taken regestrone 5mg for atleast 3 years. (was getting heavy clotting). Dr. told me to stop regestrone. After about three months all of a sudden I cant sleep at all. I hear that Regestrone contains progestrone which has the ability to make you sleep. Can that be related? Or am I going through menopause? What should I do about my sleep disorder ## Hello, Yas! How are you? It's hard to say what's causing your insomnia, but after several months, it isn't likely due to the Regestrone. Withdrawal effects, as reported by the FDA, usually only last a month or so, at most. They may also include headache, insomnia and breakthrough bleeding. It could be menopause, insomnia can be a typical symptom of it, but there are also many other things that could cause it...

Mine says for pain and mood. In what way would this help pain? Or maybe I should rephrase what is in it to relieve pain? ## Hello, Suzette! How are you? It can help with some types of nerve pain, due to it's action in the brain. Many people have had good luck with these types of medications, which means they can avoid resorting to possibly habit forming narcotics. Thus, there's nothing else special in it, it's the Venlafaxine itself that can help. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have MS pretty much in the advanced stage in the first night while on mirtazapine I got strong electric shock pain in both legs coming and going – totally unbearable! These pretty much ceased to exist although coming back a different form every now and then but now the latest that has been excruciating pain in one or the other feet. Since mirtazapine works along the nerve pathways, making them stronger, I've read – this makes sense a definite no-no for someone with pain there already! Duh – Dr. "specialists"! ## I was given Mirtazapine about 2 weeks ago to help with sleep, took 15mg before bed as directed, went sleepy. Very next morning got electric shock sensation from leg into foot, kept taking dose, electric shock / zap / pins-and-needles thing keeps h...

The FDA lists the typical withdrawal symptoms as possibly including rebound depression, rebound anxiety, diarrhea, fever, chills and dizziness. Is there anything else I can help with?

Not too sure about Brintellix yet. Very low dose (5mg) once a day for 4 days now. One positive: more alert, and depression doesn't feel as 'depressing'. Minor nausea, headache, sleep disruptive, some racing thoughts at night. Most disappointing - a persistent low level anxiety seems present and I'm on it primarily for GAD. This med seems much less compatible for me than Klonopin prn. Was hoping for better results but will stay on Brintellix 4-5 days more to see if symptoms abate. ## How are you doing today with the Brintellix? ## @Sailorcat, From what I understand, antidepressants like Brintellix can take several days or weeks to start working as indicated. However if side effects become too unbearable, I would still suggest discussing other options with your doctor. Als...
