Hi been taking Ativan for 7 weeks (1 mg at night), and I started Tuesday with nausea and no appetite. Is this normal? Have also been having lack in interest in life and bit of depression. Please help.

Anyone else have this problem while taking Rosuvastatin? My feet swelled after couple of weeks. I'm afraid to keep taking any. I do appreciate any feedback, thanks. I'm 69 yrs old. ## I have been on rosuvastatin several years and oddly, the past several weeks my ankles & feet have been swelling, making it painful to walk. Sure hope someone has answers for us! ## Hello! I take Rosuvastatin( 10mg) five years ( daily) and I had never any problem. I think you must talk with your Doctor. ## Rosuvastatin has been known to cause edema as a side effect in some people that take it, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches. Rosuvastatin Information Have you informed your doctor? You will most likely need to switch to ...

I started at .25 for 2 weeks, then .5 for 2 weeks, then 1 mg for 4 weeks. Now on 1.5 mg for 2 weeks. Total loss of weight is 10 lbs, which was mostly in first 4 weeks due GI Side effects. But for the last 3 weeks I'm extremely hungry all the time. Soon after eating too. I'm borderline diabetic, on metformin 1 gm daily. Starting weight 207 lbs, height 5 ft. Why this hunger? I'm so mad. It’s doing the opposite what it’s supposed to do. This is worse than my baseline. ## The FDA does warn that Ozempic might cause hypoglycemia, so if you're borderline diabetic, it might be causing yours to drop too low, resulting in your feeling hungry, as your body asks for more fuel to raise your blood sugar levels. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, appetite los...

I've never encountered generic lorazepam by ANI. I've had Watson (my favorite now defunct), Actavis, Leading (my least favorite), and what I've been taking for the past 5 years- Teva (which I just read is considered weak...hmmm). I must put in my new prescription tomorrow.....has anyone had experience with ANI? My choices are ANI and Leading. (Sigh)

Farmapram 2mg, filled a prescription at ABC Pharmacy in Nuevo Progreso. Can anyone provide information on them please? Are these the same as domestic US medications? ## From what I could gather, Farmapram 2mg is allegedly a form of Alprazolam 2mg from Mexico. I don't know if your pill has any markings, but another Farmapram 1mg tablet I came across with IFA imprinted on one side and scored on the other, was manufactured by Investigación Farmacéutica, Mexico. Unfortunately I haven't heard of this company before so I'm unable to offer a personal opinion on their legitimacy. However if there are no markings I would definitely be skeptical. ## Link below what bottle looks like.... farmapram 2mg packaging image ## Are they Legit or safe, probably.

Just started taking Fludac 20. One tab in the morning. The doctor has prescribed it for one month. Recently I am suffering from anxiety and obsessed with any past event and try to re-create the situation and tension builds up . I am also getting less sleep very frequently. I am 65 years of age. Would request you to brief me about the side effects. ## Fludac contains the active ingredient Fluoxetine, which is an SSRI antidepressant. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight gain. Unfortunately, not every medication works for everyone, some of them can even cause the opposite effect of what they are supposed to. Have you spoken to your doctor about this, yet? It may not be the right medication for you and you may need to try something else. ## I have been u...

white oval pill with nt 151 on it ## Hi Jean, From what I could gather, the pill you have marked NT 151 is in fact Gabapentin, which is used for neuralgia, seizures, restless leg syndrome and more. This particular pill reportedly contains 800mgs of Gabapentin to be exact. For added verification, it is manufactured by a company called Allied Pharma, and carries a National Drug Code of 76267-150. I hope this helps! ## Mine probably stop taking cuz its disgusting. When u hav pain severe nerve endings herniated disc, lumbar disease pinch nerve bone spur disc degenerative.

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...

I had been on 100mg of Zoloft for over 20 years. I recently decided I did not want to be on it any more. My doctor helped me wean off of it and lowered my dose every 14 days. My last official dose was just under a week ago. I feel worse this week than I have after the days of just lowering my dosage. Am I crazy? I am weepy, tired, and sooooo irritable. My stomach feels like I am on a rollercoaster. I am a 53 year old female and wondering if this is my new norm? Has anybody had any similar experiences?

I was recently diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. I have been taking levothyroxine for almost two weeks. For the last four or five days I have had a weird feeling. It is hard to explain. I don't really feel dizzy but I get a strange feeling in my head. I guess you would describe it as a head rush. Has anyone else had this feeling and will it go away as my body adjusts to the levothyroxine? ## yes i would get that every morning after i took my pills and drank coffee. I think its inmortant to eat a little over an hour after to avoid the dizziness. It does go away though. ## Levothyroxine Info and Side effects Click Here ## my pharmactist changed my thyroid pills because my insurance doesn't cover my other ones. I am cold all the time again and i am dizzy. I came home from work...

Does cefdinir make your urine smell and does it cause you to need to go more often? ## The exact reason why medications do certain things to the body are unknown, however, they all do have side effects, because you are ingesting a foreign substance. Cefdinir is an antibiotic, a generic for Omnicef. The most common side effects include: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain and headache. That said, it should not make you urinate more frequently, but medications do affect people differently. Have you talked to your doctor about this? ## Yes. My urine smells awful, just like the smell/aftertaste of the capsule when I take my dose of Cefdinir. ## Mine too, just reeks. ## My urine smells terrible since I've been taking Omnicef. ## My pee smells like asparagus, but I didn't eat any asparag...

Is Btrex a complex of B1, B6, and B12 vitamins? My doctor has prescribed me this vitamin, and I consider that a 30 day supply is expensive when comparing prices with a B-Complex bottle. Your advise is appreciated. ## I was unable to locate sufficient information on this supplement, possibly due to the spelling or if it's only manufactured overseas. Do you know if the spelling is correct? Also, does this supplement have a label on the back with all the ingredients? I only ask because I can tell you based on the ingredients and price if this is really worth what you are paying and whether or not you can find something with a better nutrition profile for a cheaper or equal cost. If this is in fact a B Vitamin Complex and only that, then there are certainly many other brand alternatives...

Been on Sandoz mfr. lorazepam for 10 years; no problems; no need to increase dose. Sandoz stopped mfr. Now, can only get these generic's & Actavis.
