Sertraline Side Effects
Took one 25mg tablet of sertraline lfeel horrible. IM lightheaded, dizzy, naseous, and can't eat or even smoke a cigarette! Is this normal after just one dose? If I stand to long I feel faint and all I can do is lay in bed. Should I continue this medication if it's making me feel this horrible after just one dose? ## Sorry to hear that Sertraline isn't working out for you. This drug can cause a wide variety of side effects, many of which you can view by clicking here. nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, excessive tiredness, & headache are all regarded as common side effects. That said, I would personally suggest trying some sort of natural antidepressant or at least something that has a safer track record. Have you given any consideration towards 5HTP or St. John's Wort p...

I am now taking 7 x 300 gabapentin per day and am getting terrible eye problems: double and blurred vision, I am also sufering unnerving confusion, could it be a side effect of the gabapentin? ## It doesn't seem from the monograph listing, that these are common side effects: Gabepentin Side-Effect Info Click Here I would suggest you speak to your doctor and discuss this as soon as possible, it could be this drug, an illness, or a combo if you are taking something else. ## I get blurred vision with only 2 300 Mg's ## I have been taking 2400 mg (eight 300-mg tablets) a day of gabapentin for more than a year. I have a lot of double vision, though only when I'm tired (which is most of the time). Of course, I take a few other sedating medications as well. I've gotten used to ...

how long does it take gabapentin to get out of your system
I was taking 300 mg neurontin. 1 in am, 1 at noon and 2 at bedtime. I was prescribed the med in May of 2013. Increased later when not helping with foot numbness. It has been almost 2 weeks since i tapered myself off of the drug and i still feel nausea in the am which affects my eating. Please advise how long it will take this med to be out of my system? Thank you. ## Hi Cindy, Sorry to hear about the nausea you've been experiencing lately. From what I've been researching, in most cases it usually ends up being around 2 to 5 days for this type of medication to clear your system. However because you've been taking it for about a year, I'd imagine your body could still probably use some time to get accustomed to not having it on a regular basis. One study I found mentioned ...

Epic Pharma Adderall Review
Epic Pharma Adderall does not seem to work at all no matter the dosage. Anyone else experience this? ## I haven’t tried this one. I try to only get Teva because the other ones don’t work well for me. Please report this to the FDA medwatch. You can do it online. They may be bad like the Aurobindo brand. ## We are all different, so which manufacturer's products work for each of us may differ. Adderall is a stimulant medication that is most commonly used to treat ADHD, shift-work sleep disorder, and narcolepsy. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, and insomnia.

Hemorrhoids with intermittent bleeding
I have had intermittent bleeding for over 32 years. I’m a 58 year old man and have never had a colonoscopy: no colon cancer in family, but my parents had hemorrhoids, both parents. I think my hemorrhoids are at least grade 4 now. Can these bleed without any pain? I’m so scared of colon cancer because of OCD. Could someone give me some similar experiences and some reassurance. Just looking to chat about this. ## I also have hemorrhoids that bleed intermittently. I just had a colonoscopy and the hemorrhoids are still there but I do think you should get a colonoscopy anyway.

Melatonin 3mg long term use
I am taking Melatonin 3mg every day for the last 3 months. I am very comfortable with this drug and getting good sleep. I wish to continue this drug for a period of one year or life long. But can I take this like that? Any harm will be there? I did not get satisfactory reply from my doctor. I request any of our participants who is taking this drug since a long time can advise me please. ## I have been taking 0.5 mg of Melatonin every night for several years. Once in a while I will miss taking it for a night and am still able to fall asleep without issue if I am tired enough. So in my experience it has not been habit forming. But I am taking a lower dose than you are.

How long after taking a Suboxone can you take an opiate?
I have been on 8 mg/2mg Suboxone strips for 1 year. I am having a tooth (back molar) extraction in the morning. I used my Suboxone strip this morning & the tooth extraction is at 9:30 am tomorrow. If I don't use another Suboxone strip before the extraction, would I be able to take Hydrocodone after my surgery? I don't want to get sick, but I am terrified of going through this surgery with no pain meds. Please help. ## should be 48 hrs to alow to leave your system ## So if I took a 10 mg Hydrocodone after not taking a Suboxone for 24-28 hours, will it throw me into withdrawals? That would do me in after surgery to end up in wd's. ## Sorry to say but 8 mg of Suboxone is way stronger then any hydrocodone. It would take a year for you to even feel the effects. Tolerance take...
