Anyone else having horrible time adapting to the time change? I have been in horrid pain since yesterday morning. I go through this every year. I don't know why we have to change time. I was in bed all day and had to cancel a foot doctor appointment, there is no way I can walk far today. ## Oh yes, I hate it. I wish they would just pick one or the other and stick with it. Definitely feel more tired and foggy, even after getting the same amount of sleep. And there are many articles published on the negative effects of forcing the time change on everyone. One would think that schools and other places could gradually adjust their start times for a few days to ease the pain. ## I got less sleep by 2 hours, both yesterday and today, I too am foggy.and I hurt like hell. I took a nap today...

In india melatonin comes with the name Melocet. I have sleep disturbance since 1 or two years. I have been asked to take meltonin 0.3 mg every day for quite sometime. Is this tablet safe? I am 84 year old. Is it better than alparazolam. 25 mg. Kindly advise ## Yes, I think that melatonin is pretty safe, especially at such a low dose as what you are taking. I have been taking 0.5mg every night for years and I find that if I miss a night while traveling I am still able to sleep. So it's not habit forming from what I have observed. Plus, it is not known to interact with other drugs (as it's not technically a "drug"). Where it gets concerning is people taking 5-10 mg at a time over long term, I don't think high doses like that are good. But 2mg or less should be ok.

First month started with 5 mg. Just started the next month with 7.5 mg. Lost 14 pounds. Used to take 3 meds total. Now just once/week Mounjaro injection and Jardiance 25 mg daily. Morning sugars 120. ## That's awesome! So very glad that it's working so well for you. Have you experienced any of the side effects the FDA warns about, such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or stomach pain? Ref: Mounjaro Information ## I just started on Monday and so far I have had no negatives happen. Wondering if I'm in the right spot? I'm looking for an active forum dedicated to Mounjaro? ## Hi, I’ve been on a 2.5mg dose of Mounjaro for 3 weeks. This is for weight loss, not diabetes. Down 16 lbs but 10 were in the first week. Seeking info on what y’all are eating, caloric inta...

Has anyone tried these generic Modafinil and Armodafinil meds who can compare them to U.S. prescription brand name or generics? I know 2 of them are made by Sun pharma. I've had Sun pharma generic Adderall which was utter crap and another generic of theirs that seemed weak so no faith in them. The other is produced by HAB pharma which is another Indian company. Nothing against India in general, just their pharmaceutical industry culture is really bad and make cheap drugs often resulting in weak versions. ## Modafinil If I remember correctly when I took this it was for MS fatigue It did nothing for the extreme fatigue it was suppose to help . for me it was just another junk med thrown at me I tried taking it for a month with so much hope huge let down. ## Been a while.

I have been getting my morphine from CVS for over 5 yrs. They will only get Rhodes mfg. generic. These pills are so bad some times my nose runs, I am in a with draw state. Every month its the same some thing. It seems like sometimes they have the right amount of morphine in them while most times Its as though I am taking nothing. Anyone else out there with this problem? I think some of these pills are bootleg. No way to prove it and CVS does not seem to care. ## Have you tried asking them if they can order in the ones made by a different manufacturer for you? They usually can, but you'll have to pay any price difference between it and the existing generic, because your insurance usually won't. Another alternative would be speaking to your doctor about trying a different medicati...

I am seeking to acquire information about pharmacies within the state of Illinois that work with a company named Galt Direct Rx that provides a hypnotic benzodiazepine with the generic name Quazepam.

I know the oxycodone HCL has some sort of salt in it and it’s just regular oxycodone. And I understand the IR is immediate release. Then they have extended release. But is the oxycodone HCL an extended or an immediate release?? Thank you! ## Oxycodone HCl just means the basic drug - the HCl is a salt that helps it dissolve. It does not tell you if it’s fast-acting or long-acting. - IR means immediate release (works quickly). - ER/XR means extended release (released slowly over hours). So, Oxycodone HCl can be either IR or ER. If your bottle doesn’t say ER/XR, it’s almost always the immediate-release kind. If you'd like, share the NDC code that's on your prescription, and I can look up the leaflet from the manufacturer just to make sure. ## Thank you! Very...

I have had bad pain in the upper part of my leg and my hip since I got the rocephin shot. My leg got so sore about 2 hours after the shot, that I could barly walk on it. Now it hurts constantly and it catches and shots pain at where I sit down and stand up. I can hardly walk on my leg. I am wondering is this suppose to happen after this shot. I didn't have this before. ## Soreness, swelling, pain, and redness are possible side effects of getting a Rocephin shot. When exactly did you get the shot? Was it earlier today? Either way, if the pain persists or worsens i would highly recommend that you notify your doctor. Individuals with allergies to antibiotics may also be adversely affected. I would say monitor how you feel, and don't wait too long to place a phone call. Please post ...

I got these tablets from a friend which are apparently from thailand, they are a round blue tablet with 10 on one side and blank on other with a line going down to snap them, any idea what these are. Valium? ## these are diazapam tablets i also have tried them and they are very good ## Hi joseph cooper, Just to confirm, the closest match I could find is also Diazapam (10mg). The only difference is that instead of one side being blank there is the imprint DAN 5620. Maybe the side that is now blank was just smudged off at some point. For those that want more information on this drug, follow the link below: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682047.html I hope this helps! ## I found a small blue pill with 10 on one side and smooth on the other any ideas. ## Manodiazo are the best and o...

In simple terms they are are actavis 10mg tablets. Markings C DC with a split line through the middle. Light blue, blank on one side in sealed silver strips, with 14 to each. They don't seem to be good. ## Yes. That's the same marking that are on actavis diazepam. But be careful if u got them from any other place besides a licensed pharmacy cause there's a lot of counterfeit tablets going about. Put 1 under your tongue. If it starts melting and tastes kinda sweet then it should be diazepam. ## You're getting one of the best brands of Diazepam out there. Actavis, Teva and Crescent, all made in the UK and reputable. ## Yes, they will melt easily under your tongue. You taste a slight chalky taste with a hint off sweetness. If it melts like that then your fine. If it doesn...

Has anyone ever heard of Actavis 10mg Diazepam coming in tubs, not strips? Just been offered them but can find no information on that particular packaging. ## They're fake! Also if the activis don't come in a strip it's also fake 2mg/c/da, 5mg, c/db,10mg,Cd/c, is always how they come. Activis taste fine no bad taste whatsoever, diazepam are rechid things. I've been on extremely high doses for 15 yrs. They've ruined my life, please listen if you are not getting them from a reputable pharmacy 98% there fake organised crime know the extremely large profits involved, they duplicate the boxes labels strips etc. it's not that expensive to set up a black market lab cause the profits are rediculousley high, take it from someone who's been there, and if you think big ...

How does Aurobindo Zolpidem differ from the Torrent Zolpidem? ## It is my personal opinion that Torrent works much better, I've been taking zolpidem for many many years so I consider myself an expert of sorts. When they give me the Aurobindo brand sometimes it doesn't work at all. ## They are just manufactured by different companies. Some people notice a difference, like John said, but most people don't. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Zolpidem as possibly including nausea, dizziness, severe sedation, hallucinations, lucid dreaming, and sleep actions. Ref: Medline Plus Can anyone else chime in with their experiences? ## YES! Made my insomnia so much worse. ## I agree. Aurobindo sucks. It often doesn't cause me to sleep and when I do sleep, even if the Aurobindo...

Please give me a list of doctors that will prescribe me xanax? I have bad anxiety. ## You'll get better responses if you were a little more specific, since we do have users on the site from many different countries. Where are you located?

Can anyone tell how long it takes to get back to normal after taking Amiodarone for year? My coordination and motor skills are basically gone, it seems like some days are better than others. ## I was on Amiodarone 200 mg once daily and experienced the same side effects as you and more. I have been off for over a year now and most of the weakness and imbalance is gone. However I believe it caused neuropathy and still have mild symptoms of that. Awful med. Will never take it again!

Small white pill with 506 score line below that then possible another set of nums. ## Hello, Cece! How are you? It's difficult to positively identify a tablet, without being certain of the full imprint. Could you please see if you can make out what the rest of the markings are? If you can't, perhaps you could get someone else to look at it for you! ## What is 506 round small? ## Are there any other letters or numbers inscribed on the pill? Or better yet, do you have an NDC code on the packaging? If it's just "506" it could be an over the counter or foreign medication, as nothing comes up for known prescription drugs.

My lorazepam was just inceased to 8mg. Can the recent increase cause side effects such as severe back pain and pain under the right breast in a person who has osteroporoseis who previously had minor side effects and is consuming adequate calcium ## Hello, Lindamann! How are you? Yes, it has been known to cause such symptoms, as side effects, in some people that take it, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, irritability and headache. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. It is best, however, to have it checked out by your doctor, to be sure.

I got my alprazolam refill. One was a bar and the others are round white tablets with a score line on one side. Apparently these are 4 mg but I've never seen them round before.
