Recommend Dose

Had my first colonoscopy and used Prepopik. It was wonderful! I really didn't want to do this and was not going to drink the gallon of horrible stuff that my husband had to drink. The Doctor recommended using Prepopik and it made it really easy. It took about an hour after the first dose to start working and it wasn't bad at all. I would highly recommend this product. ## Hi Betty, Glad to hear about your positive experience with Prepopik! It sounds like a real winner compared to a lot of the reviews I've seen on other bowel prep kits. Do you happen to recall what the name of the product was that your husband had to take? It seems many people here on the site are raving about other similar options such as Suprep, but when it comes to these products I wouldn't know what to...

Reading too many cons & not enough pros... Really want to see some positives in treating foot & leg pain, neuropathy, cramping & stiffness before I begin taking the 20mg a day recommended by neurologist office. Please advise. Thank you. I am almost 72. ## I tried cymbalta several years ago, it just made sick to the stomach, did not help my pain or depression, just had to try something else. presently taking oxycodone and gabapenten. Hope you can get some help, sam ## It's horrible. My Doc put me on it for the same symptoms you have. I had a minimally invasive lumbar surgery almost 10 weeks ago and have nerve pain/neuropathy. I had 3 MRI's to make sure I did not re-injure my back or neck, but that was clear. After taking just 3 doses of Cymbalta, I knew I could not to...

How many can you take if the doctor recommended 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed? Can you take more if pain is still extreme after 3 hours? ## Hi Grammy, There are a number of reasons why I wouldn't advise taking anything more than what is recommended by your doctor. However, if you feel that what you were prescribed just isn't strong enough, a higher dosage may be something to discuss at your next appointment. While I do know patients who have taken more than this without experiencing repercussions, it's important to understand that everyone responds differently based on their tolerance as well as other individual factors. And due to the high risk of liver damage, it also doesn't seem like a good idea to take more than 325mg of Acetaminophen in one sitting on a reg...

Female, age 62, T1 with carsinoma insitu. Completed 6 BCG. Yesterday had a scope (clean) and biopsy done. How much Oncovite, if any, should I take? ## Hi Paula, With regards to taking Oncovite, I think this decision is probably best left up to you and/or your doctor, since it really is just a dietary supplement favored by people with specific oncology concerns. Oncovite is said to deliver a high dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals; things already found in a well-balanced diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. In my honest opinion, it may be more reasonable to just increase your intake of dark leafy greens and fresh organic fruit. This way you're not only getting what Oncovite provides, but also an abundance of enzymes and a more alkaline environment within your body; somethin...

What would be the appropriate strength to take? Glycomet GP1 one tablet a day which means 1mg of Gimepiride and 500mg of metformin or Glycomet GP2 half tablet a day which means 1mg of Gimepiride and 250mg of metformin. ## What are you blood sugar levels? What type of diet do you eat? Learn more Glimepiride details here. Learn more Metformin details here. Has your doctor recommended a dosage? It really depends on the severity of your condition, as in how far out of control your blood sugar levels are.

I usually put my Lexapro tablet in my back pocket before taking with dinner. Recently I found a tablet in my pocket which I guess I forgot to take at some point. The same week I had noticed feeling some of my old symptoms back after feeling ok for some weeks I'm wondering if missing one tablet could have caused that relapse ? For example, does the tablet I take today help me for the next 24 hours ? Or is its affect less direct and more cumulative over time ? Hope somebody understands my question ! ## Hello, Fred! How are you doing? Has there been any change? No, usually missing only one dose shouldn't cause such issues, though I do highly recommend finding a better storage spot for your pills, your back pocket is not idea.

i took 5.25 of Mirapax er . will i be ok? ## Information I've gathered on Mirapex ER (Pramipexole) states that the maximum recommended dose is 4.5 mg per day. The efficacy of dosages beyond 4.5 mg/day has not been established nor studied in clinical trials. I wouldn't call 5.25 a serious overdose if you are still feeling alright. You may just be more prone to experiencing a higher level of side effects for the time being; but to play it safe I'd strongly recommend paying close attention to your upcoming doses and monitoring how you feel in case some undesirable side effects eventually do happen in subsequent high doses. If you are still worried, I would also suggest contacting your doctor for instructions on how to cope with the dosage. Unfortunately there is really no way a...

My doctor started me on Contrave at the full dose of 2 pills 2 times per day. After reading the packaging I see it is recommended to start at a lower dose and increase each week. I already took 2 doses of 2 pills. Has anyone else began at the full dose? ## Hello, Bird87! How are you? Yes, that is a very high dose to start with, it's usually titrated up one pill a week until you're taking 4 a day. Jumping so high immediately could cause you to experience many more side effects, than usual. The FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, nervousness, insomnia, anxiety and anorexia. Have you checked with your doctor about this? ## I take Fluoxetine 20 mg twice a day and my doctor has prescribed Contrave for me due to my weight issues. Are the two medicines alright to ta...

I've been taking contrave for 3 weeks now and certainly have a decreased appetite. I'm having issues with constipation and a stomach ache in the middle of the night tho. What time is the second dose recommended? Perhaps evening rather than close to bedtime? I also get very tired after lunch and am wondering if changing my diet would help? Any suggestions? Finally, I used to have a few glasses of wine on the weekends and have a cigarette or two (yes I'm one of those smokers). However, I've lost both a taste for wine and definitely smoking since the first week. That can only be a good thing.

I began taking Xanax in 1982. I have been abusing it more and more over the years. I can now take 14 mg and not even tell it. I can stop taking it with no withdrawals. It's like I am immune to it. For the past two years I have been experiencing a lack of cognition, forgetfullness, and general fatigue. It does not matter if I stop the Xanax for a couple of months, I feel like the deficit is permanent. Can Xanax lead to permanent brain damage? ## ever have your liver enzymes looked at?
