I have been taking Ampyra for 4 days. I have noticed a decrease in fatigue but headaches daily.

Hi i'm 17 years old and my period is so heavy and nothing helps. I was on birth control but I stopped. Is there any over the counter pills to help my heavy period? ## Hello, Muna143! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. Unfortunately no, there is nothing available over the counter that will help. Why did you stop the birth control? That's usually the treatment of choice for such a situation. It helps rebalance the hormones, so your periods are lighter, or you may not have any, at all. The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain and PMS-like symptoms.

I am a 47 year old male and have suffered from cluster headaches for 25 years, without any medication really helping. Someone recently recommended verapamil My doctor hadn't heard of it. Does it help, and how is it meant to be taken- daily, or only when headaches occur? ## Yes, I take verapamil for migraines. Don't know if it works for cluster headaches, but if your doc hasn't heard of it there's at least a decent chance he also misdiagnosed you as cluster headaches vs migraine... It is a preventative so I take it every day. For me, I'm taking 240mg SR. It is not a cure but it does reduce the frequency and severity of my symptoms. Preventatives are all meds for other illnesses that over time evidence built up that for some people they helped with migraines. Neurologi...

1 week ago I reduced metoprolol S. From 100 to 50 mg per day. Now I've had a crushing headache 24/7 with no end in site. Could this dosage decrease be the reason? ## Hello, Robert! How are you feeling? Yes, it could be the reason. When was the last time your blood pressure was checked? Suddenly lowering the dose or stopping such a medication could result in a rebound effect that could cause dangerously elevated blood pressure and heart rate. This is something you really need to have checked out for your own safety!

i am 74 yr old male. Chlorestrol normal, but on advice of Doctor. Wouldit be OK to reduce dosage to 10 mg? ## Hello, Nestro31! How are you? If your doctor has instructed you to lower the dose, it would be best to do as they've directed. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My husband was similar, so he weaned himself off the Statin (I forget which one it was) couldn't get any logical answer from the doc as to why not. He now takes no statins, and cholesterol is non existant.

Taking Nuvigil 150 mg for 2 days, feeling awesome as compared to before - awake and productive all day. I still yawn like I'm tired all day but stay awake. Also, I cant stop swallowing and drinking water like constantly. Headaches. The main thing is that I'm a chronic pain patient and I don't even want or need my pain meds until it wears off!! Anyone else have a similar experience? ## Yes. I have general chronic muscle pain. Nuvigil reduces that pain. ## I've been taking opiates for several years, and over the last year I've become more dependent on them and my usage has grown into a daily regimen. Recently, I've found some Nuvigil pills and since starting them, my opiate usage has decreased significantly. I'm not sure what to make of this really. ## Well, I...

Took tylenol and sumatripatin (i'm prone to migraines) but no relief until i finally fell. asleep. woke up, took my next dose of eliquis (10 mg), immediate return of headache plus bonus! heart started racing, too.

Does nitrofur macr 100 mg help to reduce acne? I know it is a medication to help urinary infection. ## Hello, Jess! How are you? It may help some, but it's generally not the preferred antibiotic to treat severe acne. The antibiotic of choice is Doxycycline. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Did your doctor prescribe it for you? Or are you just looking for an acne solution? ## Yes, I'm looking for a better solution to treat acne. Thanks! ## You've very welcome! I'd suggest asking your doctor about trying Doxycycline for it. My nephew had severe acne and taking a low dose of it daily, for several months, is what finally cleared it up of him. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## It sounds like a g...

As long as your doctor approves, you can cut or break any tablet that isn't time released, as long as the label doesn't specifically tell you not to do so. As to effects, it may cause some rebound effects, such as headaches, elevated heart rate and blood pressure, as reported by the FDA. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been suffering from stomach problems (IBS) for 5 years. My dr prescribed me levosulpiride and rabeprazole tablets. Is levosulpiride or rabepraxole a stomach acid blocker? ## Rabeprazole helps prevent your stomach from producing as much as acid, by shutting some of the proton pumps. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks sir Levosupride does do the same by blocking stomach acid ?

How've Can I stop my 10 mil Lipitor ? I am using it one a day for a year. Do I just wuit, or reduce it little by little? ## Hello, Patti! How are you? This medication is usually just stopped, as long as someone has their doctor's approval. There may be a brief rebound elevation in cholesterol levels, but it usually doesn't last, or become dangerous. Why are you stopping it? Are you experiencing bad side effects? The FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches.

I have been on subutex for 2 years or more, recently my boyfriend decided we both should try lowering our dosage. After 3-7 days of lowering my dose, I am starting into withdrawal within hours of taking my lowered dose. Why am I in REAL withdrawal even though I have taken a dose of my subutex? These are NOT phantom withdrawals. I am very educated on phantom withdrawals & im definitely feeling REAL symptoms. Why am I in almost full tilt withdrawal already? ## I am sorry if I seem rude for asking, but why is your boyfriend making such decisions? Is he a doctor? Anytime you lower the dosage of an opiate, such as this, it is normal to experience withdrawal symptoms, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, fever, chills, rebound pain, and diarrhea.
