Pam Calm

can this medication be addictive.? ## Hello, Danny! How are you? No, according to the FDA, while it has sedative like effects, this is actually an antihistamine that's used to treat allergies. Though it is sometimes used for its sedative like effects, to calm someone before a surgical procedure, or to help them sleep, it is not known to be addictive. Typical side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, sedation and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Just had my prescription filled and the btl. say Hydroxyz Pam. They are a pink/yellow cap. & manu. by Barr. Are these the same as hydroxyzine? I'm confused. Thanks for any help, Janet ## In case anyone else is looking for this information, though I regret not seeing this sooner to help the original poster… But yes, they are the same medication. They just abbreviated it on the prescription bottle, that stands for Hydroxyzine Pamoate, the Pamoate just designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from.

Was just making sure of what it really is for they gave it to me for anxiety because its safe to take while pregnant. ## Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine, so it's main intent is to treat allergic reactions, but it causes sedation and calmness as side effects, so it's commonly prescribed for treating anxiety. However, it is not considered safe to use during the first trimester of pregnancy and, even during the last 6 months, it is recommended for use only if there are no other alternatives and the benefits clearly outweigh the possible risks, since there is a lack of clinical data on its safety.

white oval ## Ativan (Lorazepam); I was on it for a couple of years and a doctor took me off abruptly ie. circumstances. It was the most terrible, terrible, withdrawal reaction. I went thru a week of nervous jerks, all the time, for about a week. I was miserable. After that I never wanted to risk withdrawing like that again. Make sure you taper when getting off. My ancient oracles advised me never to take it again. Make sure that the prescribing doctor is trustworthy. A good pill for calming nerves. . .don't take more than absolutely necessary. There are several other minor tranquilizers that might not have a similar traumatic withdrawal. What are your symptoms; could another class of drugs be as beneficial ie. for sleep like Pamelor etc or a major tranquilizer in the psychotropic c...

Is there any way possible that Dr's may be giving these M367 to people that has been on the meds for long time, maybe to get them off of them, force them off. I need knee surgery and no ins until O. Care in Nov. So my knee gets pampered with meds to calm the pain until I can have the surgery. When the drug was increased to 10mg it was filled twice with the funny shaped one, it gave me lot's of energy and I could bend down and clean my house & shop with out having to limp out of the store. Now this new pill does nothing at all. I kept taking it in hopes it would build up in my system but it's been a month now. It's not going to work. I have a full bottle that I no longer take, why take something that does nothing at all for pain or even energy which I have to admit th...

I want to know the difference between GABAPENTIN a RX and OTC GABA? ## Hello, Pamela! How are you? There are two completely different substances. The FDA classifies Gabapentin as an anticonvulsant that can also help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. It requires a doctor's prescription and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain. A sudden withdrawal may also create the risk of seizures. The Gaba that you see available over the counter, however, is just a nutritional supplement. The full name for it is actually Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid. It is just an amino acid. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I think I have convinced myself that it helps me to a nice calmness in the evening! My husband takes RX for $$...

What are the E615 pills comparable to? ## Pill Image You mean your doctor didn't tell you what it was or what it was for and neither did your pharmacy?
