I just took my first Buspirone, would like to hear from anyone on side effects and how long before it worked for you ## I used Buspar for about a year and had good results in reduction of anxiety.

I was just prescribed this medication, but I cannot swallow pills, can I crush it and then take it? ## Yes, there is no time released formulation from what I can find listed, so it should be fine to do so, unless there are some specific instructions on the prescription, or from your doctor directing you not to do so. Learn more Fioricet details here. However, have you made your doctor and pharmacist aware of your problem swallowing pills? This medication is available in a liquid form, as well as a capsule, either of which would be easier for you to take. ## could this medicine while.taking othet.medication

25 mg dbol pink coating white round under coating bottle has american anabolics on the label ## Hi Bugster, I believe you are referring to Dianabol; which is an anabolic steroidal hormone that contains Methandrostenolone. According to steroidabuse,com, "Methandrostenolone carries with it highly anabolic traits as well as moderate androgenic traits which allow it to be well-suited for both strength and size. By its mode of action, due to the effects produced via the androgen receptors Dianabol dramatically increases both protein synthesis and glycogenolysis very rapidly, more so than most anabolic steroidal hormones." Is there anything in particular that you'd like to know about this pill? If so, please post back so I can further assist you.

my 2 year old has been taking 1tsp twice daily for the past 3 days for a nonvenomous spider bite and suddenly today she developed a red flat rash on her arms and legs that is warm to touch. ## Hi Dana, From what I could gather, it sounds to me like your child may be experiencing either a severe side effect or an allergic reaction to the medication. The side effect profile for this drug mentions that you should contact your doctor immediately if you have a serious side effect such as: "the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild; or severe skin reaction -- fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling." I hope ...

I had the mirena inserted in early February and bled heavily for the first 3 weeks. That has slowed down to a very slight spotting and not really bothersome. But now I'm dealing with this horrible metallic smell. Its so strong I can smell it all throughout the day. I'm taking multiple showers a day. I saw my doctor 10 days ago and mentioned the smell. She said it was just the blood and to douche. Well I have douched 3 times and there is no change in the smell. I've been reading lots of forums and find I'm not alone. I was thinking of trying the rephfresh...... Thoughts on this? My real concern is this, and i have not ben able to find anything on this: I'm wondering if my doctor gave me an infection when she inserted it..... During the procedure, she was havibg troubl...

Recently moved here for my job Friday, I have a prescript for oxycodone 30mg, but I'm out till 2 weeks hurting bad, I would just like someone to point me in the right direction, on we're to go. ## If it's of any help with your search, listed below is a pharmacy-locator, that uses your zip code to find nearby pharmacies within a given mile range: pharmacylocator.unarxcard.com/ Phone numbers and addresses are included in the list after you verify your zip code; so I would suggest visiting a number of them to see if anyone can fill your prescription (calling them generally isn't recommended, as they are sometimes trained to say no on the phone if a stranger is asking for narcotics). I'd also consider looking at legitimate online pharmacies as another alternative. I hope...

Hi, my father has been taking Fentanyl 50mg for about 2 years now. he wants to get off the drug ASAP! he is finding it very hard to do so and is asking if theres anyone that could help?? also how long does it take to get out of your system?? thanks ## Has he spoken to his doctor? I assume you meant 50mcgs? If so, then his doctor may be able to help him taper off, because there is also a 25mcg patch available. After 2 years of being on it, he should seek medical assistance, because otherwise, he may suffer from some dangerous withdrawals. ## I have been on fentenal for about 10 to 15 yrs,l was on 75mg,it will be one week today l have been off.just stopped,smoked a bunch of weed that's it.was fearful of side effects,had been on oxo.man going off that got sick as a dog,it was at Xmas @...
