I took a variety of different atypical antipsychotic medications for 2 years (including Invega Sustenna and Olanzapine). I stopped 2 months ago because of the horrendous side effects. I now have chronic fatigue for the rest of my life, accompanied by insomnia and cognitive difficulties. Thank god I stopped when I did because I was starting to get involuntary spasms in my jaw which is called Tardive Dyskinesia. I was hospitalized 2 years ago because of a psychosis and was placed on extended leave of the hospital. I was then diagnosed with schizophrenia. They forced me to be injected monthly with their poison. I was honestly oblivious of the side effects that antipsychotic medications cause, the psychiatrist didn't even inform me or warn me of the catastrophic side effects before pres...

I am trying to find out more information about the availability of Cyanide capsules. ## I am looking for 1 capsule of Potassium Cyanide ## This is not something generally available to the layman. ## Hallo, I am looking for 1 capsule Potassium Cyanide. Best regards. ## potassuium cyanide capsule needed ## I have never heard of this being sold in a capsule form for human consumption. This is highly toxic to humans, and this chemical is used as an industrial compound (for fumigation, etc). Has anyone heard of this being made into a capsule format in countries outside the United States? There are some Potassium Cyanide Details on this site, and I would highly recommend reading the section on Toxicity. If you want to take this as a form of suicide then I am truly sorry to hear that. Please s...

What is the maximum dose of suboxone or subutex when you have severe pain? ## What is the maximum daily dose of subutex? I'm taking it to wean off of opiate pain killers but may need to stay on it for chronic pain. My doctor has me taking 2mg up to 6 times a day, but it feels like too much and I feel sick at 6 mg. I can't imagine taking more. Any answers would be helpful... thanks. ## If u have true clinical pain suboxone will not work it is for opiate detox only. It is an opiate blocker which will in turn allow your brain to make its own dopamine. ## feelinbettergoinbroke is wrong, suboxone is used for the treatment of chronic pain. Although, I think the reason you are getting sick is because your doctor has you taking 2mg up to 6 times a day. That in itself is causing you to b...

They have me on buprenorphine for chronic pain ## Hello, Mike! How are you? Have you tried it, yet? The FDA does classify it as an opiate and it does help some people with pain, but not everyone has good luck with it. They also warn that it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. ## The first time I have used it, a psychiatrist will prescribe it ## The first time I have used it, a psychiatrist will prescribe it. Suboxone. I have been getting the drug from the psychiatrist. Buprinepherin w a anesthesiology Dr back in the past before subutex.

I have been taking epclusa for two weeks. Last night my husband noticed brownish splotches on the mid-section of my back. The skin is not raised nor does it have any similarities to a rash. It looks more like large bruises. I'm not sure if this is from the meds or because I had a heating pad on my back the other evening. Has anyone else had this experience? ## Not all rashes are raised and/or itchy. Some of them are just surface spots like that, and this medication has been known to cause them in some people that take it. However, on your medical provider can say for sure. Have you experienced any other side effects? The FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, fatigue, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Are the spots still there? Are you on any other medicatio...

Recently had prostate cancer and it went into one lymph node. After surgery removal, they're going to put me on testosterone blockers. How will this affect me mentally and physically? ## Sorry to hear about that Ty. Testosterone blockers can affect people differently. Common changes can include feeling more tired, lower libido and performance, hot flashes, and sometimes mood changes like feeling more emotional or less focused. Would you be able to list the name of the drugs that your doctor plans to start? Each medicine can have different side effects.

I was taking 10MG of Lisinopril one time per day. I ended up with a cough. My doctor changed it to 25 MG of Losartan and now my blood pressure has gone back up. Are my new dozes equal to or less than my previous dosage. I do not understand the conversion of MG from drug to drug. ## Hello, Mike! How are you? How long ago did you make the switch? There may be a slight rebound effect from stopping the Lisinopril and starting the new one waiting for it to reach its full level of efficacy. Or it could be that the Losartan doesn't work for you and you may need to switch to something else. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Losartan as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. How high are your current readings? ## Hi, thanks for asking, I ...

I take Carvedilol which states that the mfg. is "ZYDU". What is the correct name of this manufacturer and where are they located? ## Zydus Pharmaceuticals Their U.S. headquarters is in Pennington, New Jersey, but they do also have facilities in India. However, regardless of where a medication is manufactured, if it is available to be prescribed in the U.S., then it has met the same strict FDA manufacturing, safety, and efficacy standards as all other prescription medications. Carvedilol may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Ref: Carvedilol Information Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I take it with propanidol?

I read in a medical newsletter that fermented wheat germ sold under the name of Avemar , also avaialble from amazon, is able to reduce all types of tumors, at least in the laboratory as described in 34 different publications of which I read the summaries. I read one publication in detail. Does anyone have any experience with the fermented wheat germ, or know of anyone who has taken it? I did read the reviews on amazon, some postive, others negative with respect to problems with shipping (did not arrive cold) ## @Louisa, I've also done research on fermented wheat germ extract (Avemar) and while I haven't personally taken it, a lot of reviews do come across as being positive; not to mention all the studies published online as well. Probably worth giving a shot if you or someone yo...

Ratio-Irbesartan details and description can be found here. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is the proper awy to stop using Irbesartan 121?

I have acute back pain and looked to buy some 20mg oxycodone online. Found expressmedsuk.com and introduced to Yashina on WhatsApp. Paid for 60 tablets using PayPal friends and family (their insistence) so no refund possible despite reassurances that I would get the product in two days. The next day I got a panicked series of texts and phone calls saying I had to pay an additional £65 for insurance. I declined as I had already paid for carriage in my original payment. That’s when it all went quiet. So I’m out of pocket - no painkillers and a scam site expressmedsuk.com getting money for nothing. Their website looks very glossy but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Avoid at all costs and spread the word. ## I don't like to see people in pain. Have you tried kratom? I...

Hello. I am 16 months post epclusa and feel worse than when I started. I was a server for over 40 years. Full of energy. Then hep c happened. I had epclysa for 12 weeks. Now I am in bed most of the tune from no energy. My ears are ringing. I feel deflated. Anyone else feel like this? My hep c nurse waived off my complaints. ## Hi Kathleen, I really feel for you, I finished Epclusa a year ago and like you I've had so many side effects l can hardly walk most afternoons due to leg joint pain. I get exhausted so easily, nausea, numb toes/fingers; probably a circulation problem. I did not have any of these problems pre-treatment. I've also got Edema on my legs and my stomach is really swollen. I feel so uncomfortable and unbalanced. If I mention this to the hep C liver people they ju...

The pill is round, larger than an asprin, red with Z imprint. What is it? ## May be for schizophrenia. Im trying to find out for sure myself, but have reason to believe thats what its for. ## It actually sounds like you might have found an Acetaminophen tablet, which is a generic for Tylenol, it is used to treat headaches, fever, and body aches. The one that is red with the Z marking is manufactured by Leiner Health Products and they list it as containing 500mgs of Acetaminophen. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Says could be a generic Tylenol. Is there a way to send a pic ## No thanks. That is all I needed to identify the pill. I was going to take it for pain but didn’t know what it was. Thank you

It was filled from a pharmacy in Tijuana and has no numbers anywhere but has the 3 scores on both sides. Seems to work for me but I want to make sure it's actual Alprazolam. ## I have the same pills, I get my rx filled from Mexico as well. I doubt they're bad, they just might be generic? My other friend who has a prescription & gets them here in AZ had a different type. She let me compare hers to mine & they work the same in my opinion. Hers are 1 mg & mine are supposedly 2 mg. I always take half of mine because a whole one makes me super drowsy. Hope this helps :) ## I think they're called Rafil, we see them a lot here in Laredo (it's a border town). They're still Alprazolam, just from out of the country. ## It's just a generic version. You see them ...

Hello, I am 7 years out from Epclusa. When I first started taking Epclusa, it was very frightening. Every time I took the pill, for the next 12 to 14 hours, I felt like I was being poisoned. It was hard for me to understand how something so wonderful could make me so sick. I started losing my hair, my memory, my will to live. I took it for 90 days (one pill a day) and it was hell on Earth, but it worked. I had liver cancer a year ago. It was operable and I feel that I would not have lived this long if it wasn't for epclusa. If you start taking it and you don't feel well, just stick with it because I am living proof. It got rid of my hep c and I would go through it again if I had to. It's a wonderful drug and I'm alive I feel because of Epclusa.

My wife is 75 years - her blood pressure reads 211/97 with Pulse B&M of 60. What effect will Bilocor (Bisoprolol) 5 tablets have on the above pressure counts? She is using Amlodipine 5 tablets - 1 per day.

Anyone come across these in the UK? Loghman's Diazepam 10mg, 20 in a tray. Made in Iran. ## Hi. Has anyone tried the Loghman diazepam 10mg? They are blue (same as English colour) same size and come in strips of 20. I've had them a couple of times and think they are pretty good. They are made in Tehran, Iran and they look professionally made, press, etc. I can't find them on wedinos so thought I'd put a post on here. I've got nothing but good feedback on them, and feel they are correctly dosed (if not stronger). Anybody else had these? ## They are on Wedinos and test for Diazepam, nothing else. I only asked today if anyone tried them. On another site I asked people's opinion, and two people said good, one said underdosed. I haven't tried them yet. At the momen...

I found 4 year old expired oxycodone in my medicine cabinet and I would like to know if its still safe to take? I don't know much about medicine so I'll just write what the label says: OXYCODONE W/APAP 5/325 TAB MCK subsituted for percocet and the pill has a 512 stamped on it? ## If you are asking if it becomes dangerous as it ages, the answer is no. It does not, however, these medications will lose potency over time, so it may no longer work as well as it did when it was new and may have no efficacy left at all. Taking more, to try to relieve pain can be dangerous, since these also contain Acetaminophen and too much of that can be toxic, to the point of being fatal. The wisest idea is to properly dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription if you need help with p...

I need to know the inactive ingredients because I'm allergic to talc. I had a reaction which is low blood pressure, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and feeling very tired. Unable to walk. On a patient with heart failure. The did well with the aid of another water pill. ## The inactive ingredients for Zaroxolyn 2.5 mg are listed as: - Magnesium Stearate - Microcrystalline Cellulose - D&C Red No. 33 NDC: 53014-975 What you've reported sounds like some of the possible side effects of this drug according to DailyMed: dizziness/lightheadedness, drowsiness, fatigue, weakness. And just to confirm - you are taking the brand name and not a generic form, right?

Has any one had success with the use of Zonisamide for pain with fibro and if so how long did it take ? Been on one week am at 300mg and do not have any relief yet. ## Zonisamide is another one of the anticonvulsants that's been shown to help some people with certain types of nerve pain, however, it is not actually an analgesic, so it can take approximately 4 to 6 weeks to reach its full effect in your body. Has anyone actually used this medication? ## I had disabling fibromyalgia about forty years ago, just before it had a name. It was misdiagnosed as muscle spasms and pinched nerves, which I immediately knew were wrong. My husband had been trained in pharmaceuticals by various companies and managed several pharmacies for his physician brother by that time, so he was no dummy when ...
