Following The Day Of Pill But Not First Tablet

I took my 1st 1/2 of an 8mg subutex sublingually this morning at 10. I felt some pain relief in 20ish mins, felt safe enough to take the other half an hour-ish later. I usually take 30mg oxycodone 4 times a day but have been out for 4 days, but I refilled my script this evening. Question being..... When is it safe to take the oxycodone & when will I be able to feel the effects? Honestly it was AMAZING for my pain, but the pain relief effort wore off about an hour ago. I'd appreciate honest responses from people that have been in my shoes, not copy & pasting, please. Thanks! ## Chick with questions, I've been on Suboxone for 4yrs now. The right way to do it is go online and look up the cows worksheet it stands for Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale. If you follow it properl...

My Dr. prescribed tri sprintec and told me to start taking the placebo on the first day of my period this month. Do I continue taking all 7 placebos and then start a new pack. ## Based on my research, the dosing guidelines for Sprintec note the following: "When you start the birth control pill for the first time, you can do so either on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period starts (even if you are still having your period). It is thought that starting on Sunday may decrease the chance that you will have your periods on the weekends, although this does not work for all women. If you start Sprintec on the first day of your period (a "day 1 start"), you do not need any backup contraception. If you choose a Sunday start, you need to use a backup m...

I am 60 yrs old and suffer from osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and myofascial pain syndrome. After discussing with my endocrinologist, I received my first injection of Prolia two days ago. Had diarrhea approximately 12 hrs later in the middle of the night. Awoke the next day with headache over entire head and face. That evening (12:30 am) I vomited approximately 10 times in succession. Awoke 5 hrs later with terrible pain and tightness from the top of my head down my neck, shoulders, and upper back. I am frightened to see where the pain will travel next, especially after reading the posts on this forum. Is there a drug out there to counteract the Prolia. I will definitely not be getting another shot in 6 mos. My doctor told me that the main side effect of this drug is worsening of skin c...

Hi, I've had abnormal/irregular periods since I started my periods. They've been on and off since day 1. I would go for months without any sign of bleeding or spotting. Three years back I would spot for weeks and after it would be a normal period; last year an unusual spotting started to come in a brown color. It went on for weeks as well. I then went to the nearest clinic n got famynor which stopped the spotting. In between the month of usage the spotting came back as periods and the famynor couldn't stop the bleeding, only to find a huge clot that came out and I thought my problem was solved. On that same week I went through my normal periods without any pain whatsoever but the bleeding was heavy at first n it just slowed as time went on. On the following month it was a us...

What is a small round, off white pill with 84 on one side, blank on the other side? ## Hi Mary, I see you mentioned two different pill descriptions in your title and tablet details underneath - (the first being a white pill with "r 84" and the second being an off-white pill with just "84") - So in my response I've taken both pill descriptions into consideration and sort of fused them together to come up with my proposed finding below: Is there any chance that it may have a light yellow tint? I only ask because there is a round light yellow pill imprinted with R 84. It's reportedly identified as a 1mg extended release Alprazolam tablet; prescribed for anxiety/panic disorders/depression and more. For verification, a photograph can also be viewed in the following Na...

Has any of you experienced this? I took my first and last pill of contrave last Thursday and shortly afterwards experienced extreme anxiety, dizziness and later diarrhea. The following day I got a very bad headache. I then thought it was over because the drug must definitely be out of my system. But no, I woke up today 5 days after taking the feeling dizzy and had another episode of diarrhea. I had barely eaten anything these past 5 days. I have no appetite whatsoever. Is it possible this is still the drug? I was feeling fine until I took it. ## Monica, I am sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well. Here is a list of reported side effects caused by Contrave - nausea, - headache, - vomiting, - constipation, - diarrhea, - dizziness, - trouble sleeping (insomnia), - dry mouth, - a...

Dida seems to be 'the ' medicine for bloating, allergies etc are there any side effects of taking this medicine? ## Dida is actually an herbal/naturopathic product that is available over the counter, so while they claim it helps with many things, this is actually not proven. This also means that the side effect profiles for it have not been studied, as is done for actual medications. The ingredients list includes the following: Oregano, Pot Marigold, Olive Leaves, Thyme, Cardamom, Clove, Garlic, Fennel oil and Peppermint oil. So, it really sounds like a cooking recipe. Has anyone actually used this product? ## I've just started taking it this week - they recommend 3 pills a day with a glass of water for the first month. My first day I took this too literally and had the pill...

pinkish, small oblong shaped pill w/10 mg on one side and a small 5 shaped die on the other. some one told me it was a 10 mg dilaudid, is it? ## I don't know but I'm in the same boat as you, i found it in my aspirin jar and took it with my aspirin.. something has definitely taken its effect ## you took a mystery pill, AND THEN decided to ask online what it is??? my advice is DONT EVER DO THAT AGAIN.also, whats the point in asking what it is AT ALL? its not gonna help or make any difference AFTER youve swallowed it! just be smart next time, and find out FIRST what it is, THEN decide if you want to take it! ## Hmmm - I have also searched around and cannot find a definitive match for the tablet being described. That means in theory that one of the following apply: 1. The pill is fr...

As we r going to travell northern india as temples for a month starting from 3rd may till 4th june . And even my age is 43 and my date is 2nd may so atleast my cycle should starts on 28th april it will be ok ## @priya, Usually when people want to have their period early or skip it entirely, the most common method I hear of is through using birth control. For specific details on how to go about this, I would suggest consulting with a gynecologist or doctor first. Reason being is that there are certain active/inactive pills that you're supposed to take to either avoid or induce your menstrual cycle. One other thing to note is if you do end up skipping your period, it's possible that you may experience a heavier flow and more side effects the following month. That's just what I...

I started taking nitrofur macr 100 mg 3 days ago & am 18 weeks pregnant & now have a cold. Is it a side effect from the antibiotic or just that pregnant women are more prone to getting sick? ## Hi cvalerie, First off, I would like to mention that the user guidelines for this medication note the following precuations (regarding Nitrofurantoin and pregnancy): "You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Nitrofurantoin while you are pregnant. Do NOT take Nitrofurantoin if you are at term (38 to 42 weeks pregnant), if you are about to go into labor, or if you are in labor. Nitrofurantoin is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed infants younger than 1 month old while you are taking Nitrofurantoin. If your child is older than 1 month, check with your doctor and dis...

ANOTHER WORD FOR THIS IS STADOL IT WAS GIVIN TO ME BY IV PRN EVERY 15 MINUTS AS NEEDED FOR PAIN ONCE IN ACTIVE LABOR? ## Yes Butorphanol is a synthetic opioid pain reliever. Butorphanol is a synthetic opioid agonist-antagonist analgesic with a pharmacological and therapeutic profile that has been well established since its launch as a parenteral formulation in 1978. The introduction of a transnasal formulation of butorphanol represents a new and noninvasive presentation of an analgesic for moderate to severe pain. This route of administration bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, and this is an advantage for a drug such as butorphanol that undergoes significant first-pass metabolism after oral administration. The onset of action and systemic bioavailability of butorphanol following trans...

how do you taper from 300 Wellbutrin xl to Wellbutrin 150xl? Thank you. Pat ## @Pat, This type of information is usually best advised by the prescribing doctor who can work with you closely on writing out a tapering schedule that you can adhere to for a predetermined length of time. One thing I do hear often though, is that the tapering process for antidepressants "typically" involves titrating the dose down over a period of several weeks or months. It would just be a good idea to discuss specific details with your doctor first in case your situation calls for a weaning process that better suits your individual needs/goals. I found the following article by Harvard.edu to be beneficial as well, where they provide "suggested dose reductions" on Wellbutrin at the bottom of ...

Before I started taking Humira I read so many messages about issues with the drug. I suspect the people who are unhappy are far more likely to post comments than those who are happy. I'm going to reverse that trend. 66 y/o diagnosed with UC in September 2013. Initial therapy with Lialda was very effective. A year later following a flare I was prescribed Uceris to get back into remission. It too was effective. Yet another year later and another flare neither of these drugs did the job. Tried Rowasa to no avail and started a Prednisone taper. My doctor suggested Humira and I resisted strongly having read all of the negative blogs. Finally I threw in the towel and said let's do it....I was miserable. Less then two weeks into therapy after the first four injections and I am 90% to r...

Just protection therefore i decided to take it on my first period yesterday and the following day at the same time .Is there any side effect if i stop it .... ## It isn't dangerous to stop it, after only a couple doses, but it may throw your period off, so it could last longer, be heavier than usual, or become irregular for awhile, according to the NIH. And, of course, you will not be protected from pregnancy. Is there anything else I can help with?
