Hi I am in a Rehabilitation Center. They say only have Tylenol marked 69 over 100. Usually take Percocet 335mg. ## Hi Brenda, Are the markings 60 over 100 or 69 over 100? Also, what is the color and shape of the tablet? Any other markings or score line?

my mom has been taking somas and her doctor changed her meds and she is skeptical of new medicene. ## no baclofen is not exactly the same as soma. they are both muscle relaxers but baclofen is a little stronger. i had been on soma and flexeril for over two years and now they have switched me to baclofen. it does work alot better for muscle spasms ## Am wanting to know at what rate baclofen treatment can be tapered off and the risk affects if stopped abruptly ## baclofen work alot better than soma it really releives the pain quicker than soma. ## IMy doctor just gave me Baclodol 5mg/300mg carisoprodol (soma).

Camber's new generic for Adderall IR 15mg is no good. Prior to it I got 10mg Adderall from CVS and it worked great! Just got a fill from Kroger since CVS was out of stock. The brand is from Camber and not only does it not work, it makes me feel unwell, sleepy and super irritated. It’s crazy how companies are able to differentiate in their generics like they do. This Camber brand just makes me want to go to sleep but I feel so unwell it’s hard to. I can’t focus at all on anything but how sick I feel. Don’t take this new stuff people and if you have what did you think? ## Generic medication can vary up to 20% in strength from the name brand, so one could be 20% weaker and another 20% stronger than name brand, so that’s a huge difference. Please complain t...

I took a 1/4 of a suboxone a friend had given me around 6:00 pm today. How long do I have to wait until I can take a Percocet for pain and not get it and have it work? ## 1/4 of a suboxone isn't a very detailed description how many MG's was the strip?(i know this is an old comment but whatever) ## I know this topic is a few weeks old, but I do agree with josh (post #1) in that the answer to the original thread question would largely depend on how many milligrams of Suboxone you're taking. Based on some other cases I've seen, I'd take a shot in the dark and say it may be up to a week before it's out of your body. Although several personal factors such as age, weight, diet, etc, could also influence the excretion rate. I hope this info helps! Please post back if yo...

I suffer from AFIB, get it once aprox every two weeks for 6 hours. My cardio wants me to take Flecainide and Verapamil. I am really afraid of the possible side effects of Flecainide which appears to be a dangerous drug, and why would he give me Verapamil when I have quite low blood pressure? ## I was afraid of Flecainide as well and terrified of taking both together. But what's the alternative? Like you I suffer constant bouts of AF and they can be debilitating to say the least. I have found Flecainide OK, but still get AF, am about to start on Verapamil as am sick of being sick. Fingers crossed...this is a rotten complaint and Drs have really no idea how to best treat it so you have to try along with them...dancing in the dark! ## Verapamil, as well as most other blood pressure med...

Has anyone undergone Propofol Sedation for a medical procedure while on Oxycodone? I take prescribed Oxycodone daily, and am concerned about upcoming colonoscopy which will require Propofol sedation. If I don’t take oxy during 12 hr fast I will be in withdrawal before the procedure, but I’m concerned about interaction if I do take it. Has anyone gone thru this? ## You’re fine. They do this all the time for many different kinds of procedures and people on many different kinds of opioids. I take Norco and they tell me I can take it in the morning that I have the procedure. I also take Valium and come out the other side just fine. I don’t think you’ll go into withdrawals that quickly, but I would ask them why you can’t take one in the morning with a litt...

Which should go on first? I have to go out in the sun. The rash is from the sun and is itchy.

I am wondering if anyone out there has these symptoms. It seems like in about the third month 7.5 of mounjaro I started feeling vague indigestion that kind of comes and goes across my upper back. I also am constipated and am now on the 10 mg. I have lost 12 pounds and my sugars non fasting were only 105 without any other meds than the mounjaro itself, so over all I am thrilled with what it's doing for me. But I would like to know if anyone else has these particular symptoms with the drug.

What is the most weight lost by anyone on this drug? I have been taking it for about 3 mos. and have lost weight, but I do not know what is normal. ## This is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, it contains a diuretic, so it does remove retained water from the body, but IT IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS DRUG. ## i was wondering how long it takes for detrol la 4mg to start to work ## VERWON, I am taking this medication for high blood pressure and not for WEIGHT LOSS. I am concerned I may be losing too rapidly. That is why I asked. My question may have been misunderstood. ## I have been taking this drug Triamt/Hctz for over 2yrs now, and i have lost some weight not a whole lot, but i was just wondering if the drug is known to cause weight? I know its not a weight loss drug!...but weight...

I started Ozempic on July 24, it is now Oct 1 and I have only lost 8 pounds. I try to stay under 1,200 calories a day and I walk about 10,000 steps. My dose was 0.25 mg which is 10 units or 0.1 ML. Tomorrow, I start my 0.50 mg which is 20 units or 0.2 ML. My question is: Is it normal to lose only 8 pounds in 2 months? ## I've been on Ozempic for 4 months and I've only lost 10 pounds. I was just at my doctor's and she was well pleased, she said it's best to lose it slowly. I'm not as pleased though, of course I'm impatient from hearing of all the ones dropping weight left and right! Maybe it will come to me soon enough, I don't want to give up. Just hold on!

I was prescribed Prozac & Xanax 10 years ago by my psychiatrist for depression & severe panic attacks. He started me on 1mg 3 times a day. Around Dec 2005 he increased my daily dose to 1 mg - 4 times a day. I have been a patient of his now for 10 years where I see him every 3 months. Through the years, there has been a few times were I had to call to reschedule my appointment and a couple of times he had to do the same. He would call in my meds for the amount I would need to get me through to my next appointment. This month I had an appointment for May 27th I called to reschedule due to transportation. I do not drive now and my ride canceled on me. so, I rescheduled my app. for June 17th I then requested my meds be called in until my appointment, a 3 week supply. She said she wo...

I have been prescribed Valium for anxiety for a while, I recently got some 10mg ones with an A and a straight line across the middle with 278 at the bottom and on the other side a mark like a smiley ) but the right way round "as in when people put this next to a comment" :) we know its a smiley! Not sure if they are fake or generic! Any info would be appreciated ## Please do not take they are fake. I normally take half and that's enough but I ended up taking two and felt nothing. I ended up having a terrible sleep cos they made me feel weird ## I'm having the same dilemma with these pills. These are genuinely prescribed 10mg blue valium but i dont recognize them, i think they are too bitter and apart from this post haven't found out anything about them after ten mins...

Why would doctors stop writting a prescription of Lorazepam, which has worked for over 20 years for a patient who has panic disorder, because the patient is now too old at 70? Any input is appreciated. ## Hello Yusho, This NIH Article briefly explains why your doctors are choosing to stop your prescription. In a nut shell the medication works fine but studies have shown that older patients are more likely to experience adverse side effects. Some of these side effects can be life threatening which is why the NIH and FDA strongly suggest ceasing prescribing the medication as the patient ages. I hope this helps. Please reply if you have any further questions or have additional information to add. ## i was just discussing this topic with my doctor. I believe that the ``newer generation'...

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...

Anyone know how to safely get off eliquis and back on just aspirin? ## Hi cynthia, Depending on how long you've been on Eliquis (Apixaban) for, I think it would be wise to talk to your doctor about developing some sort of tapering schedule that reduces any risk of serious withdrawal symptoms. According to ucsd.edu, apparently Eliquis comes with a "black box warning label" regarding its withdrawals in patients with A-Fib (atrial fibrillation); with some articles stating that Eliquis may trigger a stroke if suddenly stopped. So working closely with your doctor to avoid that risk seems to me like it should be first priority. Does anyone else here have personal experience coming off Eliquis who can offer some pointers on what to expect? ## Hi Cynthia I have also come off Elequis...

I cannot get tapentadol in Cambodia. What is the most similar alternative to 100mg of tapentadol? For pain relief and muscle relaxant.

I love Ben-Gay, I have Fibromyalgia, Lupus, and RA. I use a lot of tubes. I would love a roll on and a patch. Since I use it knees, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Thank you for let me giving my opinion.

I had very heavy periods with alot of cramping so my doctor suggested Cryoablation. Before I did that I had to have a cyst and fibroid removed. He then put me on a 5mg Norethindrone once a day originally for 4 months after the Cryoablation. At my 3 month checkup I still hadn't had a regular period so he told me to stop taking it. It's been a week since I stopped and still no period but terrible headaches daily, some cramping and alot of nausea. I cannot be pregnant so I'm not worried about that but wondering if the side effects are normal and how long I can expect them. ## Hello, Tonya! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having. Some women no longer have periods, or have extremely light ones, after having cryoablation done. I'm surprised t...

Hello, Medicaid’s new prior authorization for adderall requires all the dates and dosages of 4-5 other ADHD meds that you have taken. If your psychiatrist does not have that information, you may be out of luck. I just found out today. I had no problem with coverage last month. I found a couple options. Small pharmacies can be tried. Call them and ask if you can have your script filled and have no insurance. It should be 1/3 the price of Walgreens. There are also online coupons you can google for those “without insurance”. I found Walgreens will fill today when I talked to the pharmacy and they gave me the coupon site for them: This site is much less out of pocket. For my script (15mg 3 times a day) went from $150 to $87. Good luck and hugs! Zen ## I had the same thing ...
