Daylight Saving Time ill effects
Anyone else having horrible time adapting to the time change? I have been in horrid pain since yesterday morning. I go through this every year. I don't know why we have to change time. I was in bed all day and had to cancel a foot doctor appointment, there is no way I can walk far today. ## Oh yes, I hate it. I wish they would just pick one or the other and stick with it. Definitely feel more tired and foggy, even after getting the same amount of sleep. And there are many articles published on the negative effects of forcing the time change on everyone. One would think that schools and other places could gradually adjust their start times for a few days to ease the pain. ## I got less sleep by 2 hours, both yesterday and today, I too am foggy.and I hurt like hell. I took a nap today...

Melocet safety
In india melatonin comes with the name Melocet. I have sleep disturbance since 1 or two years. I have been asked to take meltonin 0.3 mg every day for quite sometime. Is this tablet safe? I am 84 year old. Is it better than alparazolam. 25 mg. Kindly advise ## Yes, I think that melatonin is pretty safe, especially at such a low dose as what you are taking. I have been taking 0.5mg every night for years and I find that if I miss a night while traveling I am still able to sleep. So it's not habit forming from what I have observed. Plus, it is not known to interact with other drugs (as it's not technically a "drug"). Where it gets concerning is people taking 5-10 mg at a time over long term, I don't think high doses like that are good. But 2mg or less should be ok.

Mounjaro Forum
First month started with 5 mg. Just started the next month with 7.5 mg. Lost 14 pounds. Used to take 3 meds total. Now just once/week Mounjaro injection and Jardiance 25 mg daily. Morning sugars 120. ## That's awesome! So very glad that it's working so well for you. Have you experienced any of the side effects the FDA warns about, such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or stomach pain? Ref: Mounjaro Information ## I just started on Monday and so far I have had no negatives happen. Wondering if I'm in the right spot? I'm looking for an active forum dedicated to Mounjaro? ## Hi, I’ve been on a 2.5mg dose of Mounjaro for 3 weeks. This is for weight loss, not diabetes. Down 16 lbs but 10 were in the first week. Seeking info on what y’all are eating, caloric inta...

Modalert, Modvigil, Waklert, and Artvigil effectiveness?
Has anyone tried these generic Modafinil and Armodafinil meds who can compare them to U.S. prescription brand name or generics? I know 2 of them are made by Sun pharma. I've had Sun pharma generic Adderall which was utter crap and another generic of theirs that seemed weak so no faith in them. The other is produced by HAB pharma which is another Indian company. Nothing against India in general, just their pharmaceutical industry culture is really bad and make cheap drugs often resulting in weak versions. ## Modafinil If I remember correctly when I took this it was for MS fatigue It did nothing for the extreme fatigue it was suppose to help . for me it was just another junk med thrown at me I tried taking it for a month with so much hope huge let down. ## Been a while. Have tried the...

MORPHINE SULF ER by RHODES
I have been getting my morphine from CVS for over 5 yrs. They will only get Rhodes mfg. generic. These pills are so bad some times my nose runs, I am in a with draw state. Every month its the same some thing. It seems like sometimes they have the right amount of morphine in them while most times Its as though I am taking nothing. Anyone else out there with this problem? I think some of these pills are bootleg. No way to prove it and CVS does not seem to care. ## Have you tried asking them if they can order in the ones made by a different manufacturer for you? They usually can, but you'll have to pay any price difference between it and the existing generic, because your insurance usually won't. Another alternative would be speaking to your doctor about trying a different medicati...

Difference between Oxycodone HCL & IR?
I know the oxycodone HCL has some sort of salt in it and it’s just regular oxycodone. And I understand the IR is immediate release. Then they have extended release. But is the oxycodone HCL an extended or an immediate release?? Thank you! ## Oxycodone HCl just means the basic drug - the HCl is a salt that helps it dissolve. It does not tell you if it’s fast-acting or long-acting. - IR means immediate release (works quickly). - ER/XR means extended release (released slowly over hours). So, Oxycodone HCl can be either IR or ER. If your bottle doesn’t say ER/XR, it’s almost always the immediate-release kind. If you'd like, share the NDC code that's on your prescription, and I can look up the leaflet from the manufacturer just to make sure. ## Thank you! Very...

any side effects of the rocephin shot
I have had bad pain in the upper part of my leg and my hip since I got the rocephin shot. My leg got so sore about 2 hours after the shot, that I could barly walk on it. Now it hurts constantly and it catches and shots pain at where I sit down and stand up. I can hardly walk on my leg. I am wondering is this suppose to happen after this shot. I didn't have this before. ## Soreness, swelling, pain, and redness are possible side effects of getting a Rocephin shot. When exactly did you get the shot? Was it earlier today? Either way, if the pain persists or worsens i would highly recommend that you notify your doctor. Individuals with allergies to antibiotics may also be adversely affected. I would say monitor how you feel, and don't wait too long to place a phone call. Please post ...

Nitrofurantoin mono/Mac 100mg side effects
After taking this medication for three days, I did not experience any side effects except for intense headaches right after taking it. On the fourth day I woke up with extreme shortness of breath, feeling of heaviness in my chest, chills, and joint pain. I have never had this sort of reaction to an antibiotic before, or any sort of medicine for that matter, so I thought I might have the flu. I went to the doctor and tested negative for the flu and he said I may have been suffering from really bad allergies. I forgot to take both of the antibiotic pills that day and woke up the next morning feeling better. I then took two pills, one in the afternoon and one at night, and woke up the next day the same as the fourth day. Are these normal side effects for this antibiotic? Also, what about t...
