I've been on nur isterate for 11 years now. Since i've started i had no periods. Today i have signs of periods with terrible pains. Is this normal? ## Did you start your period? Or did you just have cramping and pain? The hormone levels in your body can change as you age, which could change how this contraceptive affects you. Has anything else changed recently? Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor? ## What was your experience when you stopped using nur-isterate (re: withdrawal symptoms)? Did you lose or gain weight? And how long did it take for your period to come back? ## Hey, so I started using the 2 month nur-isterate inj. in October. This year in February I had unprotected intercourse, then went to get my 3rd shot the next day. I didn't get my...

Has anyone had this problem? I had been on adderall for a couple of month and then was taken off of adderall and put on vyvanse. Since then, I have notice my pH vaginal balance is off. Can anyone tell me, if this is a side effect? This is affecting me and my partner. ## Samantha, I think I'm having the same issue. I struggle to keep my vaginal pH balanced. I see that noone's responded here. If you find out something, please post... and I'll do the same. Thanks. ## I have been having the same problem since I stated taking vyvanse approximately six months ago. I am on my fifth or sixth antibiotic for it and also take probiotics. It is affecting my relationship with my husband as well. Im thinking of going off of vyvanse but it really helps me with ADHD like no other stimulant ...

I have a prescription for Hydrocodone and have been taking it as prescribed. Recently I took a urine test which came back positive for not only Hydrocodone, but Oxycodone as well. I have only taken what has been prescribed to me, and do not take anything else. I do not know how Oxycodone showed up in this test. Any information, thoughts, theories would be greatly appriciated. ## Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opiate and, as such, has been known to cause false positives for other opiates, as well. Since Oxycodone is also a semi-synthetic opiate, they are very closely related and it's highly possible that one could show up as the other, or both on urine drug tests. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I'm sorta in the same boat, have been in pain management for several y...

When taking a urine drug test, will vicodin show up the same as morphine? ## No it will not. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid medication. It's currently synthesized from thiabine and as such is no cross reactive with reagents used to detect opiates such as codeine and morphine. Source: Myself, Physician Assistant, Board certified in Emergency Medicine ## I am prescribed hydrocodone. I took a urine drug test so I am assuming it will show up but will I just fail the test or will someone ask to see my prescription? ## Per the drug testing comp, norco will show positive under MOP if the level is lower, 5000 ng/ml and will show up positive as opiate if at a level of 12500 ng/ml.. contact any drug test company to confirm. Hope this helps, hate to hear so many folks hurt by bad info....

I have used tab. telma H for around one year. drug has started showing side effects including rise in serium uric acid level to 9.9. Doctor advises me to stop telma H and use telma 40 for the time being. Is it a safe prescription ## Telma H contains both Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Telma 40 just contains Telmisartan. As to being safe, there are possible dangers and side effects to all prescription drugs, which is why your doctor should be monitoring your use of them. Some common side effects to Telma 40 may include: nausea, dizziness and headache.

Has anyone that has used Flonase got cataracts? I have them because of it and nasonex. Are there any class actions against the makers of this? I would not have used it if I had known. ## Have the doctors definitively tied your cataracts to the medications? We have had other posts on here about vision issues developing from people using these types of medications. The problem, however, is proving they are what caused it. And no, I'm sorry, but I know of no class action suits in regards to this. ## My eye surgeon said they were definately caused by steroids and the only one I have used is flonase. She said she could tell by the location of my cataracts, they are posterior and can only be caused by steroid use. If enough people have this kind, I would think it could be proven. ## i hav...

I've been on a diazepam scripts for a long time now & had just been prescribed some diaxium tablets 10mg with red and blue markings on the packet (10per strip). I've noticed there are no signs or symbols on the blue tablets.... just a line going through the middle! Do they contain diazepam? ## I realize this response is far beyond the timing of your post, but in my investigation Diaxium does not appear to be a recognized name used by any known drug manufacturers... The closest name I found to that is Doxium, which is a 250mg calcium dobesilate tablet. Personally, I think the odds of them being counterfeit are relatively high, especially since there are no proper markings for a means of identification. If it's not from a licensed pharmacy I would honestly recommend gettin...

What is the differants can you take both at the same time ## Hello, Theresa! How are you? They are both used to help remove excess fluid from the body to treat conditions such as edema, high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, but they work in different ways. Torsemide also often forces potassium out of the body, so when someone's potassium is low or if they don't hold normal levels of it, the Spironolactone might be prescribed instead, since it tends to help the body hold on to potassium. And no, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so, you shouldn't take both at the same time, because that could create the risk of severe dehydration and kidney damage. Side effects to these medications may include nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urinat...

I take 70mg of methadone every morning as maintenance to stay off of H. Sometimes I get tired and want to take a nap and there have been a few times that I have taken a nap in the past. Those few times when I woke up I felt like I had not had any methadone that day. Does methadone wear off when I go to sleep and why does it feel like I haven't had any even if I take a nap only 2 hours after taking it? ## Hello, Chrissy! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. No, it shouldn't do that. Did you take any other medications at that time? Did you do anything else different? Does anyone know more about this? I've heard of other medications affecting it, but not sleeping. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may c...

Took one Losartan 50mg this morning at 9 am. Forgot about it and took another one at 7pm. Should I worry? ## How are you feeling now? Make sure you don't have any of the symptoms listed below. At least it was 10 hours between doses instead of taking both at the same time. Here's an excerpt from Medline Plus: Losartan may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: - leg, knee, or back pain - muscle cramps or weakness - diarrhea - heartburn - decreased sensitivity to touch Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms or those listed in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately: - swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs - hoarseness - diffic...

I think that I missed my dose today at 1:30, but I'm not sure? Will I be ok to wait until tomorrow to take it? Also should I wait the entire 24 hours or just take it in the morning? ## Hello, Chad! How are you? What did you end up doing? It is always best to check with your doctor regarding what you should do in such a situation, however, in some instances, it is safer to take an extra dose, rather than risk skipping one. Since missing a dose could cause dangerous rebound elevations to your heart rate and blood pressure, which could lead to heat attack, or stroke, according to the AMA. However, doubling up just once, usually only results in your experiencing more side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination, as listed by the FDA. Now, of course, there a...

Does anyone know of a pharmacy that carries the yellow 10-325 percocets? They work a lot better for me than the white ones but i havent had much luck finding them. ## No one is really going to be able to answer your question, without having at least a general idea of where you are located. Most websites, including this one, are accessible from almost any country in the world, so if someone from Pakistan knows a pharmacy that carries them, this will likely not help you, if you are in the U.S. In addition, you may also want to provide more information, such as the markings on the tablet or the manufacturer, since the colors do not actually mean anything. Can you please post back with more information? ## I live in Bronx New York I'm trying to find a pharmacy that carries the 10/325 Pe...

Hi I just started this medicine 2 weeks ago: 10 mg for 7 days then 20mg for 7 days. I had an adverse reaction to the medicine and now need to come off of it, but very worried about the withdrawal process that I’ve read about. How long does it take for this medicine to build up enough in your system to cause withdrawal symptoms? Will quitting “cold turkey” after only 2 weeks cause withdrawal symptoms?

I am on a lot of meds for depression/anxiety. My p-doc started me on Wellbutrin, but all of a sudden, I couldn't walk straight, veered into walls, etc. and fell often. I'm in my upper 70s. My husband insisted this effect started with the Wellbutrin, and convinced my doctor that I have to taper off. Low and behold, about 2 days after stopping, the symptoms disappeared. Has anyone else experienced such a side effect from anything? ## I guess what I'm trying to find out is if anyone has experienced unsteady gait when walking while taking wellbutrin? By unsteady, I mean swerving into walls, balance issues and falling down with no warning, and crashing into furniture. I suffered from these symptoms until I came off the wellbutrin. ## I am very sorry about what you've had to d...

I was just diagnosed with stones in my pancreas (non cancer, whew!). They are causing my pancreas to not digest all my foods and are ordering Creon to take 3 with every meal and 1 with each snack for the rest of my life (I am a young 71). Has anyone taken it and what can you tell me? As of yet the pharmacy has ordered it and I'm not sure of the cost but saw that 90 pills were retailed at 700.00. I do have Medicare, Anthem Blue Cross and United Healthcare for prescriptions with a Walgreens plan. Appreciate any and all info. ## I have been on Creon 36,000 lipase.

I recently had gernital warts on the outside of my vagina. I used wart magic which contained salicylic acid and now my skin peeled off and is causing a burning sensation.

But no, please see your doctor and get something that they say is safe for you to use on the area.
