I just started taking this medicine for weight loss. I am having hot flashes and cold chills, terrible headache and a tingly head. I feel awful. Has anybody taken this and had the same reaction? If so did it pass after a few days? Gotta say this...I am not ever hungry! Like to hear from anyone that has taken this med. Thanks :) ## hi jen! I have also been taking phentermine for about 2 months now, and yes, the medicine can be great, but the side effects aren't always pretty. when i first started taking them, i had a headache, was super thirsty, and felt like i could crawl out of my skin! I now only get an occasional headache and still deal with the insomnia. what dosage are you on? maybe you should start small, say 18 mg and then move on to 30 when that doesn't work anymore, the...

I just got my new clinic it's all inclusive and they dispense TEMPUS alprazolam 2.0mg tablets. Americans really showed their superiority inventing this medication but it really ticks me off how expensive they have become from bogus lawsuits and how hard it is to get. There's no addiction. Maybe if you're taking 20 a day but who would do that? DO NOT DO THAT! That's how alprazolam got a bad name - someone was taking 20 a day and lied and said they were just taking their prescribed dose. Yeah, they're cool little 30 or 90 bottles. If you want to discuss how much you love this medication, I was off it for 6 years and my whole life collapsed. I still can't believe they won't use AI TO PROVE WHO REALLY NEED THEM WHEN DOCTORS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS WRONG. They sin too m...

I was prescribed Prozac & Xanax 10 years ago by my psychiatrist for depression & severe panic attacks. He started me on 1mg 3 times a day. Around Dec 2005 he increased my daily dose to 1 mg - 4 times a day. I have been a patient of his now for 10 years where I see him every 3 months. Through the years, there has been a few times were I had to call to reschedule my appointment and a couple of times he had to do the same. He would call in my meds for the amount I would need to get me through to my next appointment. This month I had an appointment for May 27th I called to reschedule due to transportation. I do not drive now and my ride canceled on me. so, I rescheduled my app. for June 17th I then requested my meds be called in until my appointment, a 3 week supply. She said she wo...

I have been on Mounjaro 7.5 mg for approximately 10 months. I experienced bedwetting the day after I took the shot. I know it weakens your muscles, but I never thought this would happen. Out of my last three shots, I have had nighttime bedwetting twice. Has anybody else had this problem?

Is Camber Norco 10-325 any good? ## Hello, Kim! How are you? We are all different, so it works well for some, and not as well for others. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Ref: Medline Plus Hydrocodone Combination Medications Can anyone who's actually tried this one chime in with their experience? ## I’ve tried them when my pharmacy had them recently and I have never seen them before or heard of them either. I found that the Camber worked well for my pain. Everyone is different but I am taking these to control severe pain. I have unfortunately tried many generics too because Pharmacies never stay using the same generic Controlled medication be...

What does it mean to take three tablets daily? Do I take three at once or at three separate times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)? ## If all it says is to take "3 tablets daily" you should take them all at once, unless otherwise noted. Especially prednisone. Otherwise it would say "take 1 tablet 3 times a day (tid)", or "1 tablet up to 3 tablets daily as needed (prn)". ## Hi Sharlene, It depends if the more detailed instructions say "3 tablets once per day" or "1 tablet 3 times per day". If they indicate something more like one tablet at a time (3 times per day), this generally indicates 1 tablet every 8 hours (unless otherwise noted). So I think breakfast, lunch and dinner would be a good way to spread this out. Since 8 hours goes into 24 hou...

I am prescribed oxycodone 10mg taken 4 times daily. I take them as directed. I recently took a 5 panel hair follicle test and it came back negative on everything. Does anyone know a reason that this would not show up on a hair test? I did not have my hair colored or bleached in over two years and I did not take anything to try to alter the results. Thanks! ## The reason oxy didn't show up in a Hair 5 Drug Panel test is that it is not tested for in that panel. In order for it to show up on a hair test you would need to take a test with the Extended Opiates which are the pain killers like oxy. ## So percocet wouldn't show up as an opiate? The people that administered the test said it should of shown up and they didn't know why it didn't. ## In a normal Hair 5 Drug Panel te...

Have been on 50 mg Flecainide twice daily and 125 mcg Digoxin once daily for one year due to sporadic episodes of tachycardia and one incident of Afib that landed me in the hospital. My rhythm adjusted itself after 12 hours. I noticed an increase in hair loss a month or two after I started taking it. I thought it was due to stress levels several months previously because I had experienced hair loss in the past due to stress. That subsided and the hair would grow back but not entirely. However, it has been continually falling out an alarmingly steady pace since. I have seen my dermatologist who said everything seemed normal and to try rogaine. I just had bloodwork for several issues to see if this mystery can be solved and have not gotten the results. It dawned on me that the time frame ...

what is the difference between zolpidem 10mg tab TEV verses zolpidem 10 mg QUA ## Only the company that has manufactured it, TEV stands for TEVA Pharmaceuticals and QUA stands for Qualitest. The dosage and medication, however, is the same, they both contain 10mgs of Zolpidem as the active ingredient, a generic for Ambien. Common side effects may inlude: nausea, drowsiness, hallucinations and short-term memory loss. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments? ## They may sound the same, but they are certainly NOT the same. My pharmacy has been trying to give me substitutions every month for about 6 months now. Most do not work on me. They have tried to pawn off purple ones, yellow ones, different white ones, etc. If you are lucky, they all may work for you. But not for me. The Torre...

I got zopiclone 7.5mg. They are packaged in strips stating zop 7.5mg. The tabs are round, blue, scored on one side, with no markings. They do work, but i'm a bit concerned as to whether or not they are safe. Can anyone enlighten me on this one? ## If they are Hab pharmaceutical ones from India they are the weakest of any zopiclone and believe me ive tried well over 15 brands! The confusing thing is when you look at their website the tablets are rugby shaped not round an saucer-like? I have a feeling they are not legitimate!!!! ## I brought zopiclone 7,5mg the blue round from India, are these safe and can I cut them down ## Hab zopiclone are fine... Not rugby shaped at all. Mine are round, blue and have a groove on one side. ## I got the same there from india, I been taking them, bec...

whay do the zolpidem pills llok like and how many shud i take the first time? ## You should follow your doctor's prescribing instructions, which is usually just 1 tablet. As to what they look like, there are many generics on the market and they all have different imprints, so I cannot possibly list a description of all of them with their imprints. However, if you post back with the markings from the tablet in questions, I will gladly check for you to see what it is. ## white pill small oblong on side says 93 other says58 ## Are ther any purple colored zolpidem tartrate 10mg pills? And are they any good an who manufactors them and where are they out of if any one can help thanks ## they are yellow, non-scored oval tablets that have an imprint of 10mg on one side and Ambien on the oth...

I need to know if any of them are dark orange ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? Zolpidem is available in many colors, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Are there any markings on the tablet in question? That is what would enable it to be identified. Can you please post back with this information? Thanks! The FDA classifies Zolpidem as a sedative hypnotic that is most commonly used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Its typical side effects may include nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, funny taste in mouth, sleep actions, hallucinations and next day hangover-like effects. ## I've been taking it for many years like 20 years and I went from 5 MG to 10 MG & simple sleep over the counter and to trazodone . I was taking 2 10 mg. Now I'm to 2 Zanax. 1 mg 2 benadryl and ...

I am prescribed 15mg capsules. I got a refill and the tablets are pink - MFG MYLAN My former rx was white/green MFG GENEVA Are these the same pills? ## Well, it's difficult to confirm what they are, since you didn't provide any markings. There are 15mg Temazepam products manufactured by both companies and it is very common for a pharmacy to switch, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, at the time they had to restock their supply. The 15mg from Mylan should be an orange/pink colored capsule with the markings MYLAN 4010 on each half. Does this match the ones you received? ## Yes it did. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! ## What do they look like in a capsule 750mg inside of the pill ## pink/white are usually 7.5mg. Blue/White are 15mg. It usually states it on the capsule. Ask th...

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...

Can 300mg irbesartan tablet be cut in half (abisart brand)? ## Hello, Bell! How are you? As long as it isn't time released, then yes, you can cut it, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. However, if it is time released, then no, it is not safe to cut it. ## I have been prescribed 75mg irbesartan and take a half tablet daily. There is no split line on these tablets so are they suitable for half dosing? ## Got it, thank you. ## The lack of a score line indicates that it's not usually intended to be split. However, if you've been responding well to half doses (and your doctors is good with it), you should be fine, as the 75 mg tablet is n...

I started last week 2.5. I was so nauseous. vomited and one day of diarrhea. It would just come on all of the sudden. I never had nausea this bad. Then back off. It finally subsided after 3 days but I felt sore in my stomach. I talked to doctor. Said try not to take the nausea meds. To eat bland diet. I was not hungry and probably had an empty stomach on my part I didn't want to eat feeling sick at my stomach anyway. 2nd week here. I wasn't going to do it. But going to try... this sucks. The instructions say two weeks then shouldn't have nausea. ## Sorry about your nausea, I'm on week 5 with the lowest dose. As long as im losing I'll stay on the low dose, here's why. 2 summers ago I tried ozempic for 3 mos & lost # well, but the nausea, cramping & diarrhe...

I was doing so well with Mounjaro, but my Doctor took me off it because of significantly increased liver enzymes / markers in a routine blood test. I am so disappointed and have been doing as much on line research as I can. So surprising given that reduced liver fat is supposed to be one of the benefits. I have read that it could be the speed of weight loss, rather than the Mounjaro itself, that caused this. Can anyone relate? ## Is one of the enzymes CYP3A4? [I'm not a doctor or anything so take as speculation] I am pretty sure Mounjaro can induce (increase its activity) while the drug maker is trying to hide the fact. And may affect other enzymes. Although the relationship may be complex and could potentially go either way with enzyme activity. Forskolin increases intracellular cA...

Anyone experiencing leg pain from this drug? After a few hours of being up it's better. I wonder if its the manufacturer that can cause it. I'm really trying to get off and I only take it occasionally. ## Interesting. I've been on lorazapam for 30 plus years and never had an issue. They keep changing manufacturers. I'm currently on teva, and I've had teva for or at least a year or so I guess and I'm now having leg pain. And have no idea what's causing it. I don't know whether it's one of the side effects or not. I'm thinking because I haven't been as active. I had to have skin cancer surgery on my leg. And I was laid up for like, 6 weeks, and I'm not out being as active. I need to get out and walk every day. Cant gokf for a while And maybe...

At the perfectly happy and healthy age of 27, I was just beginning my career and my life with the world at my fingertips when someone mentioned to me that I had a bald spot on my crown. I quickly realized I was losing my hair. I tried Nutrafol, Red light helmet, shampoos, the whole 9 yards and i eventually learned that the only option was Finasteride basically. I have always eaten healthy and exercised and get very adequate vitamin intake. Not a single health issue. So in June of 2020, after carefully researching side effects of this drug (I was a pharmacy tech) the company Keeps sucked me in and before agreeing to commit to it, I asked my assigned telemedicine doctor: "what is the worst thing that could happen to me taking this drug given my health profile and demographic? Is this ...
