Have been taking Eliquis 5 mg 2x day for almost 3 months. Seem to be having Stomach Pain, Abdominal Swelling, Bloating, Gas, Facial Swelling and lots of weight gain and water retention. Also brain fog and memory problems. (It's hard to tell how much of this is from Eliquis and how much from CHF associated with A-Fib. Also taking Beta Blocker and Digoxin.) Eliquis has been out long enough for the pharmaceutical company (BMS) to put out a REVISED list of side-effects, to reflect real-life patients' experiences. Wonder if they have done so, or when they'll do so? Am probably going to switch to Xarelto and stop the Eliquis, in hopes that the Xarelto will cause fewer problems. ## You might want to rethink that decison, Afibber. Here is what the pharmacists say: Examining the Comp...

How does one go about bringing that up if he isn't a pain management Doctor? ## My sincerest sympathies- sadly, as of 06/2017 (in NJ) ALL Board Cert.

In 7 car pile up....need 3 surgeries that were denied by insurance...dr suddenly discharged me and won't even get on phone to say why. I am in constant pain and am going through withdrawal. Any dr. In nj preferably ocean county would really help. ## Hi, Michael! How are you? Sorry about the problem that's arisen for you. However, right now the best thing you can do would be to really look into finding out why they dismissed you. It does concern you and your medical records, so you have a right to know. If they won't tell you, then you may need to request a copy of your medical records from them in order to find out what they have in there. The reason I'm advising you to do this is because it's going to influence what happens with a new doctor. For instance, if for so...

Are there any other things? ## Yes, this is Prescription Vitamin D. It's used to remedy vitamin d deficiency when given by your doctor in these high dosages.

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've been taking Lyrica for nerve pain and also for opiate withdrawal. But I don't like Lyrica so I'm thinking of going back to Gabapentin. I just want to know whether 300mg of Gabapentin could possibly work for me? ## Hello, Amy! How are you? No, Lyrica contains the active ingredient Pregabalin. They are both anticonvulsants that have been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders, but they are different substances. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain. Only your doctor can decide if it may help you and what the appropriate dosage would be. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have lupus, fibromyalgia, Ra and OA I take 300 milligrams of Gabapentin...

What are the inactive ingredients of Qualitest lorazepam or Leading Pharma lorazepam? Does anybody know? It seems that its formula might have been changed because I feel 1mg is less effect than before or does not work. I used to take Ativan 1mg before abroad and one month from Kaiser in the U.S. but they gave me refill as generic lorazepam (Qualitest). I felt 50-60% effectiveness compared to Ativan(brand lorazepam). I can't take Watson lorazepam as it does not work for me causing side effects (rapid heart beats, sweating, anxiety, dehydration). Qualitest has less side effect (less dehydrated than Ativan) I did not have physical dependence on Ativan for long time and quit too. But this generic lorazepam is getting less effective over a few months. Also my pharmacy had changed Qualite...

Can you help me? ## Hi Rex, Sorry to hear about your situation. I was just doing some research on CL4 and despite information being sparse, I did find a medical journal (linked below) that depicted CL4 as "a nuclease-resistant RNA-aptamer", which according to their investigation, is able to bind at high affinity to EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptors) on the surface of different can...

I've been on Mounjaro for 3 years for Type 2 Diabetes. A1C down from 15 to 5.9. The weight loss was a bonus. It took 3 years to lose 92 lbs. Of course I haven't worked out, is it too late to tighten my upper arms and thighs?

Where can I buy this, and can it be compounded in a United States pharmacy? My Dr. won't help me.

I have to take a drug test thursday. I took a half gram of methamphetamine today. How do I flush? Wizanator wont work. ## How do i pass a drug test for methamphetamine today if i took it yesterday? ## I took methadone Saturday morning and I have to test Monday. I've drank 2 gallons so far of water. Will I be good? ## I took methamphetamine for 2 weeks (once a day). How long will it stay in a urine test? Please help. ## If you drink 4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with 8 oz of water you will be guaranteed to pass a drug test for methamphetamine. Within one hour after drinking this mix you will have to use the restroom and you will be in the restroom for at least 30 to 40 minutes. After that you should be clean for your test and if after 1 hour of ingesting this drink you did not u...

I have sublingual strips that have been expired for about a month now. Are they still good? ## They should be fine, especially if they are still sealed in the package. ## @Adrian, Midiman is right... they should be fine since the expiration date wasn't too long ago. Harvard Medical School did a study stating that many medications like this can actually retain their potency for up to 10 to 15 years beyond their expiration date. The shelf life of Suboxone may be listed as 3 years, but I think it's been proven to retain its potency much longer under proper storage conditions. I hope this helps! ## I take 8 mg suboxone and I only take a small piece of it and then put the rest back in the package. As long as it stays sealed and in a dry place they dont lose alot of their potency. ## ...

Can I see a picture of Lorazepam 2mg RX 774? ## I can confirm for you that pills with this marking and description do contain 2mgs of Lorazepam (NDC 63304-774). Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and irritability. ## Someone help me survive my 90 day prescription of Lorezapam by Teva because after that all the pharmacies in my area carry nothing but the garbage by leading pharma. Got a refill of this junk and almost had grand mall seizure. Anyone please write back with some place I can get Teva or mylan 2mg of Lorazepam. Desperate.

Would like to know where to get a prescription filled for 100 Oxycodone 30ml ## Why go to Mexico to get them or ordering them from there? I get 150 of them each month from my pain management DR.. If you suffer from severe pain you may be started on the 15MG Oxy's for a few months then raised to the 30MG tablets. If you aren't needing them for pain but just want them for recreational use then you may have a hard time getting them since the DEA had nothing better to do in 2012 than hassle DR.'s and restrict their schedule 2 prescribing ability for those type of drugs. However, if you have real pain issues and have your past records to give to the doc, that helps save the docs rear end cause he can show proof the patient has severe pain issues. NO MATTER what, don't even me...

Anyone experiencing leg pain from this drug? After a few hours of being up it's better. I wonder if its the manufacturer that can cause it. I'm really trying to get off and I only take it occasionally.

Hi I have been on BCP now for approximately 25 years. I live in the state of Florida and have always gotten my prescription written for 1 full year. I just went and saw a doctor that I had never seen before because I was out of my pills and needed to see a doctor quickly so I didn't lapse in my pills. I was due for my annual exam, so I had that done, afterwards realizing that he only refilled my prescription for 6 months. I tried to get him to make it for 12 months, because I had my annual exam. He stated that in Florida, the rule is I have to see him for an office visit every 6 months for BC prescription refills. I have never heard of this ever in all my years of being on birth control. Plus insurance only covers 1 annual/wellness exam per year. Does anyone know if this is a new ru...
