I had been taking the Takeda brand of Vyvanse for ADHD and I guess there was a shortage so I ended up with Arynta instead. The capsule had AN 25 I was supposed to be equivalent to 40 mg of Vyvanse. It made me sick and sleepy! So something was seriously wrong! I had to tough it out until my next prescription and go without because I refuse to take it because of the side effects of being sick! How could this medicine be so different than another brand and the fact it didn’t work and did the opposite of what it was supposed to do?

I know people in wv who go to pa to get scripts of subutex and sell them. They wont give up any info about the doctor they go too because they don't want anyone else in the area out selling them. I am an addict who needs help. I have researched subutex and I feel that this med will help me. I am tired of these pain killers killing my pocket. If anyone has any info on a good doctor in wv or surrounding states please let me know. ## I may not have a personal doctor I can refer you to, but posted below is a buprenorphine physician locator showing 122 Physicians and 16 Treatment Programs found in the State of West Virginia: buprenorphine.samhsa.gov/pls/bwns_locator&one_state=WV With such a list, there's bound to be at least a handful of really good doctors you can turn to for Su...

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...

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

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...

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.

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.

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. Hard to break up and don't se to get that euphoria feeling anyone else? ## I got these from my pharmacy and I’ve been on dozens of different kinds of oxycodone. These ones give you a brain fog twist...
