Taking 85 milligrams daily and would love to get off this stuff. What are the best reduction numbers? ## I was @ 40 mg a day for over 20 years for nerve pain. When I finally started to detox went down 1 mg per month slow taper. I am at 5 mg. now. No sever withdrawals. Anxiety, sweats, irritability, but dealing with it. Methadone is hell. Slow taper is best. The sudden cold turkey thing is is terrible. Good luck my friend.

I'm seeking insights and reviews on Teva Lorazepam and its comparison with Leading Pharma's version. There's a notable divide in user experiences. Some report Leading Pharma Lorazepam as being less effective or having no effect, possibly due to variations in the active ingredient, leading to side effects or adverse reactions in certain cases. While there are those who recommend Teva Lorazepam for its efficacy, others find Leading Pharma's version more suitable. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to try Teva Lorazepam since it's not available in my area – no local pharmacies dispense it. My experience with other brands, post the discontinuation of Qualitest, hasn't been successful in finding a comparable alternative. I'm particularly intere...

I started Xolair in April, 375mg every 14 days. Noticed depression increase after second dose. After 4th dose experienced extreme anxiety and panic attacks for 1 week after dose. Then next dose started having hypomania. Spoke with my counselor same day and she confirmed my bipolar symptoms.

My doctor prescribed Estradiol (1 mg) and progesterone (100 mg) because I still have ovaries. Started me on the lowest dose. I was having horrible hot flashes like every half hour!!! They were unbearable. So the estrogen worked for them and for vaginal dryness as well. I did gain about 5-10 pounds however. But after a year and half of taking this I started spotting blood. Is this normal? I am post menopausal by the way. But does it make you bleed some what? Only for about a week and then stopped. Was not bad but… I don’t know if that is normal or not? Does it come with taking the hormone replacement therapy meds? I’ve not had this issue before ever and it’s been about 5 years since my last period. What does it do to your uterus?? Any info I would greatly apprecia...

I used to take a diet pill which was a white capsule with the numbers 697 printed on it. Where can I get this pill and what is the name of it? I sometimes had fasting with it. ## I also have been looking for the same med for years, it really works ## Do you happen to remember what the name of it was? Otherwise, I am afraid I cannot help you. ## Those 697 pills where from a dr dillinger who is in jail most likely or died by now. He made them himself. They where methamphetamine in a clear cap with the #697 on them. ## He was in brooklyn on bay parkway and they did work really well. I was one of his original dollies fat girl he made real thin in 1975. ## I wish I can find a doctor like him that made you lose weight, but I understand very hard, they all are afraid and I understand that too,...

I have been on Ozempic now for 5 weeks. I started at the .25mg and after two weeks, upped it to the 0.5mg. I have never felt so dang good! I'm 53, post-meno, non-diabetic, 5'4", and SW was 264. My current weight, after just one month was down 19lbs! Now I'm down 21lbs! I'd love to finally be 165lbs or so again. I haven't been that small since I was about 11 years old. Ozempic has saved me! I can't believe it. I actually look forward to the injection every week. I only had nausea for a little bit the day after I started. And since, then, it's been great! No diarrhea, no nausea, just boundless energy. And not just that, but it's done something to my brain! I have this amazing sense of optimism, and positivity. I feel hopeful again! I feel like I AM goin...

Got prescribed 20mg temazepam for anxiety and sleep disorder. White round white tablet. Score one side 30 on other. Sorry bad eyesight but I'm sure it says 30. Anyways, I feel it takes away pain as well. Anyone else get this effect from temazepam? ## Restoril or Temazepam has diazepam in it as well as a hypnotic for sleeping. They're prescribed as sleeping pills.. if you're getting pain relief from it it’s probably because it has relaxed your body enough to get real rest and sleep.. I also take the same medication and I use it one a day at bedtime. I’m also prescribed diazepam which is Valium for my anxiety and two are very different in regards to sleeping. Yes diazepam can make you very sleepy because you’re so relaxed but it’s not a sleeping pill wh...

Epic Pharma Adderall does not seem to work at all no matter the dosage. Anyone else experience this? ## I haven’t tried this one. I try to only get Teva because the other ones don’t work well for me. Please report this to the FDA medwatch. You can do it online. They may be bad like the Aurobindo brand. ## We are all different, so which manufacturer's products work for each of us may differ. Adderall is a stimulant medication that is most commonly used to treat ADHD, shift-work sleep disorder, and narcolepsy. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, and insomnia. Ref: Adderall Information What other manufacturer's products have you tried? ## I just wanted to add I recen...

White round pill with T, score line and N on one side, and a correction tick type of symbol on the other side. ## I don't know if this is the exact pill you're describing, but I was able to locate a round white pill with T N over a score line and 1 underneath it on one side and on the back is some sort of greater than symbol ">". This particular pill turned out to be a 1mg Trandolapril tablet, used for high blood pressure. For verification, the manufacturer is reportedly Cobalt Laboratories and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 16252-0541. If anything, I hope this at least helps narrow down prospective pill ID's. Please post back if you find out more information. ## I'm looking for information on Alko-1. It's a round, white, scored tablet. N...

I am really confused about everyone's posts concerning the leading brand Lorazepam. I have been taking the generic form of Lorazepam 2mg for 25 years. I've used every kind, from Watson to the current leading one. It appears that the sugary taste is the primary issue for everyone here. The amount of negative reviews about this company is absurd. They are no different than any other generic Lorazepam; they work the same. The only difference in this pill is the inactive ingredient, which contains potassium, and that's why the pill tastes like sugar. However, my point is, if you are a long-term user of benzos, you would have all ended up withdrawing and possibly seizing if the pill really didn't contain the main ingredient. The ER doctor would have been the first to report t...

I am trying to prescribe for a patient, it seems like no pharmacy carries ERMEZA.

Can anyone help identify a little white tablet with "mp" on the top and "63" along the bottom? What is it? I have 2 in my house. ## I have 2 of these pills in my regular medication I also am querying this pill never seen it before and it doesn’t match the others , please help ## I know this is 5 years on, but the tablet is Prednisolone (5mg). You probably found this out already or forgot about it by now. I’m posting for anyone else who may want to know. ## Prednisolone (5mg) is what this is.

I am so confused about Teva diazepam in the US. I can get one batch of it and be OK for a while and then the next batch I am in cold turkey withdrawal symptoms. The last time this happened was in May and the pharmacy exchanged it for a different lot. The new lot still wasn't as good as the old one, but it was better. And I got used to it. And now the newest one I got is even worse where I've had daily headaches and extreme agitation. This pharmacy in particular always puts lot numbers on their bottles so I can see when it changes. But I wasn't looking for it. I only noticed the symptoms about 5 days after changing and looked at the bottle and then saw for the six months prior (I'm collecting the pharmacy bottles for an art project) I was getting the same lot. As soon as ...

I’ve had 2 rounds of Taxol and Keytruda for ovarian cancer and have constant diarrhea. Has anyone else had this problem and how do you combat this? I’m tied down in my home as I have to stay close to a bathroom and I’m so tired of this!!!

Humira gave my mom lung cancer. She was not a smoker and it was the only drug she was on. She died. Don't take this drug. ## Sorry to hear about what happened with your mom. My condolences for your loss. Thank you though for providing a warning to others about humira. Based on my own research I wouldn't doubt that humira could be a dangerous drug. Especially considering that it's classified as being Immunosuppressive. This means that humira can reduce the activation or efficacy of the immune system, which may open the door for things like cancer and other potentially serious illnesses. Having said that, I feel like humira is a threat to one's ability to recover. Hopefully other readers here will discuss these concerns with their doctor before giving humira a second thoug...

I received a message from America kratom association that leaf powder in natural form is going to remain legal. However no one will ship to me. Does anyone know if I will be able to legally order kratom from vendors? Thanks

My girlfriend has been addicted to Stillpane ever since the hospital treated her for a traumatic experience four years ago. Now, four years later, she is taking about 40 Stillpane tablets between Friday evening and Saturday evening, and another 40 tablets between Saturday evening and Sunday evening. On Monday she takes around 20 tablets, and on Tuesday another 20. Sometimes she skips days, so I’m not completely sure. Then on Thursday she may take another 40 tablets through Friday. It seems like she is consuming around 140 tablets per week. At that rate, that would be about 560 tablets per month. Is her life at risk?

I took this drug in the 1970's while pregnant. Am looking for the side effects to the babies. Drug has been off the market for many years. Not sure on correct spelling. Used for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Thank you for any help you can send me. Sincerely, Dana. ## Dana, The drug Bendictine you are referring to was reported to cause birth defects in some cases. But a similar drug is prescribed today and it's called Diclectin. Funny how some people will say to stay away from something while others say it's perfectly safe. I think it's a matter of speaking to at least several physicians and following your intuition, as far as what feels right for you and who you trust. The drug Diclectin is a combination of Doxylamine (an antihistamine) and Vitamin B6. A good res...
