to lose fat ## Lipozene is an over the counter supplement product that they claim can help with weight loss. It is listed as containing Konjac Root, which they say is a water soluble fiber that expands in the stomach to make someone feel full, so they eat less. Thus, it's also easy to see how it might be risky to use for some people that have certain medical conditions. Additionally, there are many complaints posted online saying that it is ineffective and not worth trying. Anyone considering trying it should make sure to proceed with caution and do a lot of research, so they make a fully informed decision, before ordering. Are there any questions or comments?

oval shaped pink with /4 ZE ## Im just wondering if erythrom eth is a form of penicillin, or augmentin. So basically my question is what exactly is erythrom eth and whats in it? ## I was prescribed Erythrom Eth for an ear infection, it seems to give me a heavy freeling in my chest almost like a misplaced gas feeling.

Is there any assistance for this drug? Also is there any patient for Percocet ? ## There are no assistance programs for Oxycodone, because it is a generic medication.

I WAS CURIOUS WHAT EFFECT WOULD HAPPEN IF MORE THAN ONE DOSAGE WAS TAKEN OF THIS MEDICINE. I CURRENTLY TAKE 20MG ONCE A DAY (IN THE MORNING) BUT I COULDN'T REMEMBER IF I TOOK IT ONE MORNING SO I TOOK IT AGAIN IN CASE. ## depends on the meds ## well, you sould know by now! actually, most likey pretty mellow and maybe a bit light headed, not wired and edgy like if you doubled up on prozac. but people's reactions can differ. ## Doubling up just here and there on accident will not really make much of a difference. You may experience a few of the side effects that you did when you first started taking it, but nothing dangerous, since your body is already used to the medication. This is often used in doses far higher than the 20mgs that you are regularly taking. ## I just started on t...

I noticed since I took myself off Savella. I know I should of weaned myself off it. I'm now having bussing or vibration sounds in my ears off and on Does anyone have this issue. I hoping it goes away it very annoying. Thanks ## Hi Arlene, I haven't found much on the specific side effect you're experiencing, but visual & auditory hallucinations are listed as a severe side effect of Savella (Milnacipran) on a number of different webpages. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a609016.html#side-effects How long has it been since you last took any? I'm also thinking it could just be withdrawal type symptoms that will eventually subside as your body levels out. I hope this helps!

I just took my first Buspirone, would like to hear from anyone on side effects and how long before it worked for you ## I used Buspar for about a year and had good results in reduction of anxiety.

I was just prescribed this medication, but I cannot swallow pills, can I crush it and then take it? ## Yes, there is no time released formulation from what I can find listed, so it should be fine to do so, unless there are some specific instructions on the prescription, or from your doctor directing you not to do so. Learn more Fioricet details here. However, have you made your doctor and pharmacist aware of your problem swallowing pills? This medication is available in a liquid form, as well as a capsule, either of which would be easier for you to take. ## could this medicine while.taking othet.medication

25 mg dbol pink coating white round under coating bottle has american anabolics on the label ## Hi Bugster, I believe you are referring to Dianabol; which is an anabolic steroidal hormone that contains Methandrostenolone. According to steroidabuse,com, "Methandrostenolone carries with it highly anabolic traits as well as moderate androgenic traits which allow it to be well-suited for both strength and size. By its mode of action, due to the effects produced via the androgen receptors Dianabol dramatically increases both protein synthesis and glycogenolysis very rapidly, more so than most anabolic steroidal hormones." Is there anything in particular that you'd like to know about this pill? If so, please post back so I can further assist you.

my 2 year old has been taking 1tsp twice daily for the past 3 days for a nonvenomous spider bite and suddenly today she developed a red flat rash on her arms and legs that is warm to touch. ## Hi Dana, From what I could gather, it sounds to me like your child may be experiencing either a severe side effect or an allergic reaction to the medication. The side effect profile for this drug mentions that you should contact your doctor immediately if you have a serious side effect such as: "the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild; or severe skin reaction -- fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling."

Manufacturer: Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Dimenhydrinate is used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and vertigo associated with motion sickness. It really doesn't sound like something anyone would want to abuse or even take more than they need of. Did you happen to find it on a friend or family member?

I had the mirena inserted in early February and bled heavily for the first 3 weeks. That has slowed down to a very slight spotting and not really bothersome. But now I'm dealing with this horrible metallic smell. Its so strong I can smell it all throughout the day. I'm taking multiple showers a day. I saw my doctor 10 days ago and mentioned the smell. She said it was just the blood and to douche. Well I have douched 3 times and there is no change in the smell. I've been reading lots of forums and find I'm not alone.
