IF A DOCTOR PRESCRIBE A MEDICINE TO TAKE 8 HRLY AND I START MY FIRST DOSE AT 9 AM MEANS,WHAT ARE THE TIMNG FOR NEXT 2 DOSES? ## Every 8 hours from 9am would be 5pm and 1am. So, basically, your daily regimen would be a dose at: 1am 9am and 5pm. Are there any comments or questions? ## is it practicable to take a dose at 1am. Do you believe that people follow this dose regimen. Pls give me a solution. ## Why not you take early in the morning at 6 am, next dose at 2pm in the afternon and the third dose at 10 pm in the night. Is that not more practical? ## You mean a sick man has to get up early morning, ok what about baby?.what i observed is 90% of people not follow this dose schedule.So i still believe that it is not practicable

I have been on 2mg bars 4 times daily for over 5 yrs. When taken as prescribed it is the best. I have bipolar disorder and severe anxiety. Just ask doctor first and be willing to try other benzos cause one might work better for u. ## That is a huge habit. You are hooked. I am hooked. I'm not going to judge you at all. However what happens if you run out, or the doctor moves or stop practicing. Xanax is a wonder drug, but is very hard to stop, perhaps the hardest drug? You must experience it to know how lovely Alprazolam is on the way out. Getting back to you, 8 mg a day is a lot and so many here have lost their prescriber for a variety of reasons. Good luck!

To make this short, I am currently 8 months pregnant and taking between 8-12 mg of subutex daily. However I can't get my subutex for 12 days. I'm stuck. Currently on 3rd day of withdrawals and I'm 8 months pregnant!!! I'm in horrible pain plus I'm extremely worried about my baby. My local hospital doesn't have a suboxone doctor to dose or prescribe. What should I do?? Will the withdrawals hurt my baby? Where should I go?! Plus it's Saturday!! No doc offices open! What should I do? I don't want to feel this way anymore & I really don't want this to hurt my baby! Someone please help me! ## Did you talk to the hospital? Maybe under your circumstances they can give you something to help out until you can see someone.Especially if there might be side e...

Do I put patch on and continue to take my norco till the fentanyl patch gets in to my system at full strength? I take two nor ps 10-325 every 6 hrs and they wear off at 4-5 hrs so pain comes on strong. I've read that it takes 12 to 24 hours for fentanyl to reach its peak so till it kicks it will I be safe to take reg dose of norco? Do not want to go to sleep and not wake up! Scary ## It would be best to be cautious and check with your doctor, before taking the Norco with the patch, since there can be some risk of increased sedation or overdose. However, in most cases it is prescribe that way, the time released patch is meant to control most of your pain, then a regular release medication is prescribed for breakthrough pain. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic,...

I have been prescribed 4 puffs twice a day on Qvar, and it's helping with the breathing but it's also making me voraciously hungry ALL THE TIME. My Doctor seems to think that this dosage will be helpful for me, but I'm concerned. I also take Marshmallow Root to thin the mucus and wonder if that could have any interactions with the Qvar. Any thoughts/comments/suggestions? I'm scared to be on steroids for such a long length of time as I'm already overweight. ## There are other possible concerns to long-term steroid use, aside from just the weight gain. You could also experience compromised immunity, fluid retention and other issues. Learn more Qvar details here. And as to feeling hungry, you'll really have to put some willpower into controlling how much you eat and...

I found some pills in my sons room. They are flat, with 8 sides, round not oval, with what looks like three interlocking v's or it could be a w with an interlock v in the middle. Please help ## Hi sissy, I believe the pill you have may be generic diazepam- sometimes sold on the street or online- but primarily from a pharmacy with a legal prescription. The pill I found is flat, round, and blue like you suggested. There is a large W with a V intersecting with the W. I believe this pill is manufactured by M&A Pharma in the UK. There is usually a D 10- or similar- imprint on the other side, maybe it was rubbed off? Diazepam is a benzodiazepine drug. It is commonly used for treating anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, seizures including status epilepticus, muscle spasms (such as in cas...

roundish green in color can it be a fake ## There is no way for me to tell you unless you post back and provide the imprint that is on the tablet. There are many, many round, green pills on the market, so it could be anything. If you provide the imprint from the tablet, I will gladly look it up for you. ## one side says CDN the other says 80 its small and round. It has a weird greenish gray color. fake?

Strange, normally when I take a 25 Aderrall XR I feel the effects and can study for hours on end...I was recently prescribed Vyvanse, but I still had some Aderrall left, so i took one 25 mg XR at about noon...didnt feel much, so i broke open another 25 XR and ate half...still nothing..so i ate the other half (at about 3 PM)...about an hour later I still felt very below average effects. So I took a 40 mg Vyvanse. Felt more focused, but nothing special. So I broke open another 40 MG and poured half (20 mg) into a glass of water. Drank that, and about an hour later still nothing, so I took the other half....and I still don't feel any effects! Not even average effects....very strange. I have a fairly bad cold (but not taking any meds for it except aspirin for headaches)...not sure if th...

If this a real 80? ## need pain meds for herniated disk ## Hi Frnk, The closest match I've been able to locate is Oxycontin (80 mg). It is a round green pill with the imprint '80' on one side and 'OP' on the other.

It is a narcotic analgesic generally indicated for relief of moderate to severe pain. It is manufactured by Purdue Pharma and has a National Drug Code of 59011-0480. Maybe the O on your pill got smudged off? Does it look as if it has been tampered with? You can learn more about this drug on the page for OxyContin Details ## It is real. Its a new Cana...

How is the medication released. As simple was 6.67 per hour for 12 hours? ## Hi joe, According to a .gov article I found on the absorption of Oxycontin, the tablet itself is considered to be 'biphasic', which means that it is being dispensed in two different phases. The initial release is said to be approx. 40% of the active ingredient; which provides an onset of pain relieving effects within one hour for most patients. At this point, it is followed by a second more controlled release that carries out the remaining duration of effects. Page 1 in the link below offers more specific details on the pharmacokinetics of it: medsafe.govt.nz/profs/datasheet/o/OxyContintab.pdf I hope this helps!
