Has anyone experienced severe anxiety, constant crawling feeling in body after epclusa treatment. Its like my brain and body aren't working right anymore? I had terrible side effects. Finished in January, now it's June and feels like I'm still taking the poison. ## Hello, Barbara! How are you? Has there been any change? Those are not normal side effects of this medication according to recent FDA reports. They typical include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, depression, and diarrhea. Are you on any other medications? Do you take any supplements? Do you drink a lot of sugary, or caffeinated beverages? ## Yes I started with hand/arm pain about a month after starting treatment. Now I am three months post treatment and the pain has now been nerve pain in my hands, lower legs, hands, ...

I just switched from Suboxone 8mg(bup) 2(mg)Nal, to Subutex 8mg no Naloxone and they are the Activis brand. The SUBOXONE with naloxone WOULD LAST me 24hours. I've been on the Subutex now 2 days and I put the 8mg TABLET UNDER my tongue at 10am & by 6pm I start getting goosebumps I'm cold I feel jittery and just ugh I can't focus and I get off work 7 7:30 and I have had to take another 6-8 mg when I get home to make it comfortably through the night. But now at least I'm not throwing up every day sometimes twice a day... the naloxone made me super sick but now with this Subutex I need 16mg every 24 hours.... but the naloxone made me zombie like and I just felt depressed all the time. So if I have to take 16mg every 24hours for now I guess I will. I wish Subutex was avai...

I' having surgery and I don't know if I should stop taking this before hand. Could this drug cause bleeding? ## Have you asked your doctor or pharmacist? Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and they can have some blood thinning effect, so it might be necessary to stop taking it, before surgery. They could also be concern about it interacting with other medications you may be given, during or after the surgery. ## how far in advance to the surgery sho stop taking it? ## I heard 7 days from my surgeon.

Over the last few months my hair has gotten very thin, brittle, and I’m shedding a LOT. My doctor said it was probably hormones and my age (45 yo female). I started taking Biotin and special shampoos, but they didn’t help. Recently I started digging into the Lisinopril side effects and hair loss is cited. I told my doctor and she told me to discontinue. Has anyone had hair loss on this med, then regrowth after discontinuation? ## Dear WH, Sorry to hear about your hair loss. Based on my own investigation, hair loss isn't "officially" listed by the manufacturer or drug labeller as a side effect of Lisinopril. However, there are numerous mentions of this occurring in patient reviews, so I would consider its consumers to be a worthy citation in my book. I suppose it...

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...

Can I take .5 mg Xanax one night, .5 Ambien the next night and .5 Valium the next night and continue with that schedule? ## I wouldn't. When you take a Benzo, then a non Benzo, then a different Benzo, you are confusing your system as you get used to these medications. It's best not to take any of them as they all work differently, none the less mix them into a Benzo sandwich type schedule

Started my mother a few months ago. She is 80. She started with a few hallucinations, now much worse. It started shortly after and I’m tying it all together and wonder if this could be the case. Anyone experience this?

If I take 1tablet of Enantyum 25mg after breakfast for my Rheumatoid arthritis, which seems to work well for about 6 hours, is it ok to then takeParacetamol to get me through the night ? ## Enantyum contains the active ingredient Dexketoprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Learn more Enantyum details here. How close are you taking them? Learn more Paracetamol details here. They are in different medication classes and are sometimes used together, but you do have to be careful how much and how often. What has your doctor advised? ## Who the heck trusts doctors?

White round pill imprinted N T on one side and a check imprinted on the opposite side. ## I have these too. Have you uncovered what they are? ## They are from India and they are labeled and being dispensed as 1 mg alprazolam. They're not working for me so I'm a bit scared to know exactly what's in them because I have taken them. ## Anyone tried them yet? I have just got some been told they were Valium, is there any effect? ## Did you get them from India or do you know where they came from? The ones I got from India were supposed to be 2 mg Alprazolam/Xanax. I don't know what they were but they didn't make me feel any different. ## They are in fact hand pressed alprazolam (if you taste a nibble of one it will be bitter and disgusting). Hand pressed in Mexico, some leg...

I have been taking eliquis for 2 months for pe, having back pain, blurred vision, weakness and a clenched jaw. Any suggestions? Anyone else with those symptoms? ## Hello, Denis! How are you? Yes, those have all been reported side effects of this medication, by users and the FDA. You may also experience nausea, headache and easy bruising. If the issues are severe, you may want to speak to your doctor as it may not be the right medication for you to take. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks verwon, going to see the doctor tomorrow, my back pain getting worse any recommendations on a cream or anything that can lessen the back pain ## I have really healthy eyes and never had blurry vision at all.

My lisinopril (90 day supply, just opened) will expire in 1.5 months. Can I finish it off or do I have to destroy it at the end of January? ## Hello, Lynne! How are you? This medication does not become dangerous once expired, but it may start to lose effectiveness. Thus, in reality, disposing of it, once it expires would be the best thing to do, however, you may want to ask your doctor and pharmacist if you can still finish it, since its loss of effectiveness will most likely be minimal by then. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## How long after the expiration date of lisinopril can you still take it? ## That’s bull about disposing it on the expera...

Does anyone have any experience with this particular medication. I see that their are lots of complaints on there generic percoset, but I'm talking of just plain oxycodone 15 mg made by alvogen, any information would be great & most appreciated. Again not their percoset version, I'm speaking of plain oxycodone w/ no Tylenol. I cannot take tylenol as it causes my liver to have problems. Thank You! ## Hello, Peggy O! How are you? I've not run across any complaints posted on here, so far, from those that have been taking it. Alvogen is generally a reputable company that manufactures effective medications. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Ca...

I just had foot surgery & they prescribed me hydrocodone. I took it last at 8:30 pm yesterday. I woke up with a headache & I want to know if I can take something for my headache like tylenol in between my doses of hydrocodone? ## What are the specifics on the Hydrocodone that you're taking? Such as the dosage? Many of them contain Acetaminophen, so it may not be safe for you to take more. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. ## so what can I do to get rid of the nausea, dizziness and headache? ## what can I take for nausea and vomiting after taking this medication? ## norco 5-325 mg} 5 mg=325 mg tab

The past several times I have taken Linzess I have become extremely gassy about an hour later, but still no BMs. Does this happen to anyone else? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? Have you been making sure to take it a half hour, before eating or drinking anything else? Some doctors and pharmacist didn't inform people that it must be taken in the morning on an empty stomach, with just an 8 ounce glass of water. The gas can be a normal side effect, you may also experience dizziness, bloating and abdominal cramping. Can anyone that's on this medication chime in? ## I do use liness but it is the bomb. I will try everything to not have to use it. Three hours after you use it you could get a colonoscopy. And may I add you might want to put on double depends.

Please advise. I'm day 3 off contrave and constipation has set in! What do you all use to ease constipation? ## I drink room temperature organic prune juice every morning. I had an extreme bout of constipation before until I took a laxative then used prune juice later in the day because the constipation was coming back. Haven't had much problems now with constipation if I drink some in the morning to get everything moving from my system from the night before. ## I have taken Contrave for one week and have had constipation. I must admit that I have not been drinking enough water though. I started taking stool softeners every day, from one to three daily. I've had bouts of constipation in the past, and my gastroenterologist said it is safe to take stool softeners daily. I did ...

Received injection of carbocaine and had an immediate drop in blood pressure and fast heart rate. This resulted in a syncopal episode resolved somewhat by smelling salts. ## Earlier this year I was given Carbocaine at the dentist. I had it at two visits that were about a month apart. The first time, I had an overwhelming hot flash, followed by an even stronger hot flash. The dentist blew air from the dental equipment on me, and she said it was due to anxiety. I didn't think that was the case, but it stopped, so I went along with it. A little while later, my legs started shaking uncontrollably - like it was an adrenaline rush. No anesthetic using adrenaline had been given. A few weeks later, I had a 2nd procedure and was given the same anesthetic again. This time I got the hot flash ...

I have a very small pill which appears to be baby blue in color. On one side it has Alg and underneath the Alg are the numbers 264. The back side is blank. What is it? ## It's an oxycodone 15 but if it crumbles easy it could be a fake ## The Oxycodone with these markings that are manufactured by Alvogen are actually listed as being a light green. Can you please double check the imprint? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. ## 15s with ALG 264 on it.

I have used cocaine for over a month moderately and haven't in five or six days. Will I pass a saliva drug test given by the state? ## I have not used this drug in 6 days.

I recently took a mouth swab for a drug test and it tested a high positive result for cocaine and i do not use!!! The only thing i did minutes prior to the test was rinse my mouth with a mouthwash.

It's ingredients contain water, sorbitol, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, poloxamer 407, sodium saccharin, flavor, sucralose, green 3, yellow 10. Could the mouthwash be the reason for the false positive for cocaine? Please help, I am trying to prove my innocence.
