I was on ozempic for 1 year and lost 50+ lbs but came to a plateau so started mounjaro and have been on for about 18 weeks and no weight loss at all. I'm on 10 mg dosage now and have been for 6 weeks and no results. Am I the only one its not working for? Frustrated to say the least. ## I've done exactly the same thing even on the highest dosage of mounjaro and it's not working for me either.

I bought a bottle of naproxen generic and the pills are different than the real naproxen that I was using. Could you help identify them? They are little light blue one side has. ## Hi Gary, it looks like your last sentence was cut off. What are the markings on the blue tablets that you have? ## Sorry. One side has K and the other has 45 ## Thanks - in that case it does sound like Naproxen 220 mg from Aurohealth LLC (NDC 58602-845). Inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, FD&C blue #2 aluminum lake, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, talc, and titanium dioxide

round white ## What is the drug Barr 198 used for. It's a large round white pill with a #3 on one side and Barr 198 on the other side. ## This tablet contains 300mgs of Acetaminophen and 30mgs of Codeine, a generic for Tylenol with Codeine. This is a narcotic pain reliever. Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## Is there any significant difference between Codeine/Aceta. 30mg Barr 198 w/a 3 on the back tablets, and the tablet with a 100 and that funny looking R w/a tail just below the 100 and a 3 on the back? Or is one just a generic? Thank you. Sherlock ## I found some Barr 198/#3 pills in my backpack first aid kit. The pills have been in there for a number of years. Are these pills still ok to take? I understand that the pot...

I've been taking antibiotics for a UTI for the past week and a half, my doctor said take this antibiotic for a week and you'll be done. It's been a week and a half, and I just realised that the bottle had said take two a day, but I've only been taking one a day. I know this was stupid of me to not read the bottle, but I just want to know if this will compromise my recovery or something. Should I just keep taking them this way until they're gone or should I start taking two a day? ## What antibiotic was prescribed? I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question, without knowing this additional information. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The FDA lists most common antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-aller...

Hi there. I recently got my Alprazolam 1 mg refill from the pharmacy. Has anybody tried these alpz-1 tablets by neuro vision? They are small, white and round. Blank on one side, and just a single score on the other. ## Hello Buddy, Here is a link to a different chat where people discuss this pill. The discussion regarding them starts at response 13 - Christy. [1] Alprazolam almee 2 India I hope this helps. ## Were they decent quality? ## I got some too. I wondered how they work for you?

I recently started taking gabapentin to alleviate nerve pain from fibromyalgia, but now I am having a metal taste in my mouth and all the teeth brushing in the world doesn't stop it. I am also eating myself out of house and home with this med.... anyone else have this problem, and if so, how do I stop it? ## Hello, Strephannie! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. The FDA does list these issues as possible side effects of taking Gabapentin, along with dizziness, headache, dry mouth and mood swings. However, most side effects do tend to improve, as your body gets used to the medication, but it may take a month or so. But weight gain is a problem that most people have when taking this medication and that doesn't usually change, as long as they are ...

Hi, on day two I woke up with this horrible metallic acidy bad taste in my mouth, mostly my tongue. I searched the Internet for help. I tried the following: Gargling with salt water, no effect. Gargling with baking soda, no effect. Eating drinking citris - somewhat effective Spraying my mouth with sore throat medicine - short term effect Started taking Zinc- BAD TASTE VANISHED - EFFECTIVE! ## Ironically enough, Chantix does list "having a bad taste in the mouth" pretty much word for word as a general side effect. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if it never went away until you stopped taking the medication. However, I am curious to know whether or not any metallic taste will return after you've continued to supplement with Zinc? If you could keep us posted every now and...

I recently switched doctors because my original doctor stopped prescribing me klonopin when he put me on suboxone. My new doctor put me back on klonopin, but he wants to take away my adderall because he thinks it is causing anxiety. The adderall actually helps me focus and keeps me motivated. I kind of need it, but I also need the klonopin. So I don’t know what to do. I also need the suboxone to keep my life on track. Is it possible to take all three at once? ## I am on Klonopin 6mg a day 10mg of Adderall and one 8mg sub. I do fine with this dose. I am a recovering addict from benzos and pain pills. I understand what you're going through. Talk to your doc & be honest, but I'm on all three and have been now for months. ## Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. Yeah...

Are Xanax tablets chalky and do they have a taste? ## Does xanax taste chalky at all because I got dispensed some bars that say xanax on one side and a 2 on the other side and they look perfect but do not have that bitter taste that I am used to? Does anyone have any advice on this? ## If it doesn't taste bitter there is no possibility it's real. If you can taste chalk or any other flavor it should be pretty clear you do not have genuine Alprazolam. ## Alprazolam or Xanax the name brand comes in different strengths, The 0.2 is usually white. The 0.5 is peach colored the 1 mg is blue with a line in middle and the 2 mg bars come in white, yellow, green and a long with scores in them. These are all from the pharmacy. If you have PTSD or anxiety issues find a good doctor and be hone...

What have people done who need surgery (probably open surgery for gall bladder) and taking Pradaxa. I have fears about having a stroke if I stop taking it and I know that I will have to take it. Thoughts please? ## In most cases, they have you stop it for a few days, before surgery, then resume taking it, once any risk of bleeding has passed, but you should follow your doctor's instructions on what to do, according to the NIH. Gall bladder surgery is rarely fully open, now, it usually just requires a small incision to insert a microscopic instrument. The amount of bleeding and healing time is usually very minimal. Have you been provided any pre-op instructions, yet? ## No, don't know for sure if I will need it (feeling better). I have a large wide-month hernia in my abdomen (tha...

Pink diazepam pill from Mexico in the packet 10mg no description no information on the pill to identify other than the packet at itself other than that I took two of them and it seems to be working good just like the regular value my check which is the blue 10 milligram seems likely to pick in a lot quicker if this seems to have if you have a packet it's way better to identify especially if it's from a foreign country ## Most other countries do not regular their tablets like the U.S. and Canada, so they don't require unique imprints, thus there is no way of knowing what you might have. The FDA warns that Diazepam carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, irritability, sedation, and dizziness. Is anyone else familiar with t...

Is it ok to take instaflex if u have heart problems, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and thyriod problems? ## Instaflex is an over the counter product that is claimed to help with joint health, so as nothing more than a dietary supplement, it hasn't actually been tested for possible interactions with medications and health conditions. However, since I am also a hypertension and cardiac patient, I can tell you that one of the ingredients in it is Black Pepper and it can cause blood pressure elevations in some people. It can really depend on the person, so I'd suggest checking with your doctor, or pharmacist, before taking it. From what I've found, any of the various pepper extracts can cause blood pressure elevations in some people, so you have to be careful about taking th...

Has anyone else tried the white octagon M 20 Adderall pill? Also, why is one pill described as 5 mg and the other 7.5 mg? Are they still the 20 mg the doctor ordered? ## A white eight-sided pill with [M] on one side and "20" on the other reportedly contains 20mgs of Amphetamine / Dextroamphetamine. (NDC 00406-8893). If your pill doesn't fit this description, then it may be something different. Does your tablet have any other markings outside of the capital M? Also, what shape is your pill? For verification, the manufacturer is listed as Mallinckrodt.

Hi.. im from Dallas. First let me start by saying every time i receive yellow bars they are always legitimate. Now I have a couple and something is different. They are yellow and have that taste at the end, but my question is are they fake, cause every time i take one i feel them within 10 min. These break so easy! And they just don't look the same. Could xanax go out of date? ## I just read where the yellow 2 mg bars maked R039 are in three sections only. Read on this page. Thats incorrect. Just pulled up and correct has 4 sections. ## Sorry to hear about your bars. I got ripped off before too and was sick as a parrot. ## sometimes bars can be soft.

I've tried and used Teva/Barr, Lannett, Core pharma, AURO (worst imo), and now just got Rhodes. Not sure if Rhodes is making me spacey, sleepy, anxious and low energy, bloated, headache.

There are so many manufacturers out nowadays, it's a revolving door and it's adding to the already difficult challenges many people have experienced since the pandemic. Lordy. Rhodes? Anyone? ## How are you doing taking the product from Rhodes, now? Has there been any change? The FDA considers all generic medications to be therapeutically equivalent.
