iv heard some talk about this drug , where can it be bought at , do I need a doctor to prescribe it .... ## Apparently there is a book called "Miracle from the Vault" (by the Health Sciences Institute) that's supposed to tell you what it is and where you can get it at. I for one haven't come across any specific details regarding H-86 outside of what some users have been posting here on the site. So far everything from wheat germ to weight loss, or diabetes have been mentioned, so unfortunately it's hard to say what's real and what isn't. What I can do is redirect you to another discussion thread here that may offer more information on the topic: Discuss/h-86-cancer-cure-250866.htm If you find out a legitimate source for H-86, I'd be interested in hearing ...

I need to know all serious drug interactions with symbyax 3mg/25mg ## Do I need to be concerned with any drug interactions with symbyax 3mg/25mg? ## Symbyax contains Olanzapine and Fluoxetine, it is commonly used to treat the main episodes of bipolar disorder, while Sibutramine is a stimulant used to aid in weight loss. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain, but I am not finding any interactions listed, between these medications. The Phentermine may cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Are there any other questions or comments? ## NEVER MIX PHENTERMINE WITH SYMBYAX, YOU WILL HEAR VOICE AND GO MANIC.

I am 22 and have had depression for as long as I can remember. After many failed attempts of "natural" methods (medicine, acupuncture, neurofeedback) I went to a psychiatrist and am now taking Lithium carbonate 300mg for a week. So far I don't feel any difference. I've been reading other people's experiences and they at least report minor side effects for the first few days or week like being sleepy or losing train of thought. I haven't felt a thing. I know my depression is deep and I might need a bigger dose, but shouldn't I have at least felt SOMETHING by now? Thanks in advance ## Dear Nikinice, my dad suffered from severe depression and after trying a bunch of meds, they put him on lithium. Sometimes it can take a little longer 4 some people 2 feel it work...

I have just been prescribed this medication for nerve issues in my face. I really don't know if I want to take this after reading all of the bad side effects. Could someone out there please tell me if they ever heard of someone getting put on this medication for this reason. ## Hello, Bunny! How are you? What type of nerve issue? It has been used to treat trigeminal neuralgia, so it really wouldn't be very surprising for it to be used off-label for others. The most common side effects that most people experience aren't very severe or dangerous, just drowsiness, headaches, migraines, motor coordination impairment and upset stomach.

i think have misjudged my bi-polar medication and now body is tingling. I would like to get some advice on how to fix this problem. I am on eplim, lithium, Zoloft, dilantin and stilnox to sleep. As you can see a varied cocktail. I am adjusting the dilantin. To settle the itches I have taken a Zyprexa as my doctor did last time I experienced something similar. do you have any advice for me? Regards ## Help, Catherine! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. However, I am not understanding how the Zyprexa is supposed to help with itching, but then again, I am not a doctor. How bad is the itching? Is there also a rash, or just the itch?

I am on numerous medication for Bi-polar. Over the last week I have got uncontrollable itching in my hair, legs, behind my ears. If I scratch it leaves a white mark so I think I am taking my skin off and it looks terrible. I am keeping my skin oiled and supple and that seems to help but the itching seems to soak up the oil and I am back to square one. I would be so grateful for any insight to this problem, or cure. I am going to spoil Christmas for my family. It is bad enough they make me feel inferior due to my illness let alone this happen at Christmas when we are all together. Help! ## Hello, Catherine! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having and for the way your family is behaving. What medications do you take? That would make it easier to see if th...

I am using zenoxa od from a month. I had used it before too. I have a constant head ache, not too much though. My dosage now is 300mg in morning and 450mg at night. I am a bi polar and I still feel down at evenings. I used to take lithium before as 1-0-3 of 300mg and Betacap for the little tremors I used to get. I think I should start some exercise or work out to keep me with good hormones and come out of my X:), which bothers me. Though I smoke marijuana occasionally, I need to stop to observe my mood variations and settle down for good control and observations:) Hope this helps my fellow beings:) open up and share your status to be aware and to beat illnesses effectively:)

I'm using Tegretol combined with Topiramate, and further more I have so more proplems as are described on leaflefs! One of them and the most important as combination of Carbamazepin (Tegretol) with Topiramate (Topamax), couse might have a lot side effect, couse one of the most important I think, is PLASMA LOW CONCENTRATION, and more efects! In each leaflets the describtions are, but do not taken into cosiderations by Albanian's doctors. Or better show negligence about that! Anyhow, or in any case repercussion of all that, we're obliged to carry on back, couse nothing is doing better! Please recommend me what can I do the better! Thank you!

Can this medication kill you? Does it really help bi polar people. ## Just like any medication, it helps some people with this condition and there are other people that it just doesn't work for at all. As to it killing you, if you overdose, yes, it can. It carries the same dangers as any other medication. Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, nausea, short-term memory loss and hallucinations. ## How long does it remain in your system

I've recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder type II, an under active thyroid gland, insulin resistance, familial high cholesterol, anti-bodies attacking my thyroid gland, lowered iron absorption and also lowered DHEA. As a result I've started receiving multiple new medications, and just to name a few: Diotroxin, Epitec, a multi-mineral, iron, insulin reducing medicine, stomach ulcer medication and so forth, each to treat my long list of diagnoses... In the last month and a half I've gained 4kg, been struggling with constipation, unexplained migraines (which I didn't have before), an increased appetite and can see a change in the way my clothing used to fit. What could be the cause of this weight gain? Could it be from the diotroxin? It is supposed to help with wei...

My hubby takes lithium 1200 a day. He was told one side effect would be that it will take 20 years off his life. Has anyone else heard this? ## Lithium has quite a few controversial side effects in my honest opinion, but I haven't found anything stating that it will take literally 20 years off your life after treatment. I came across a few reports from other individuals who have been taking it for 15+ years with few problems. However some of the potential side effects make me wonder why this drug has remained on the market: blackouts seizures fast, slow, irregular, or pounding heartbeat chest tightness hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist) crossed eyes painful, cold, or discolored fingers and toes pounding noises inside the head changes in vision palenes...

I have been taking Epitec(for bipolar mood disorder prescribed by Pschyciatrist) together with Altosec(for GERD by a GP)) for the last 8 years. Recently my GP said the Altosec stops the Epitec from being absorbered. Is this why my BMD is not getting better? ## Hello, Ilona! How are you? I didn't find anything listing that there's a problem, if these two medications are taken together, but your doctor could have access to some new information that isn't available to the public, yet. Learn more Epitec details here. Learn more Altosec details here. What type of doctor are you seeing for your Bipolar? Have you tried any other medications to treat it?
