How To Stop

I am want ing to stop use of this medicine. Wish to have ways of doing so. All at once or day by day Thanks ## Mellaril is an antipsychotic drug, so coming of it cold turkey and without a doctors supervision and assistance can be very dangerous. I suggest speaking to your doctor about the best way to stop this medication. In addition, if you have been on it for awhile, then your body had become dependent on the drug and you will experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it abruptly.

I was taking medrol 32 mg 2 times per day for 2 weeks now and reduced to 1 pill per day for the last 2 days. The weakness and high heart beat rate is becoming unbearable and I stopped it today. Is it ok to do so? or I need to reduce more like half pill or so.. I was only taking it for a little sinus infection that was caused by a root filled tooth 2 years ago and the tooth is extracted but the inflammation continued.

I understand that it is frightening to get a period that lasts far longer than normal, but usually it is due to something minor, such as hormonal imbalance. However, only a doctor is going to be able to give you an answer. How old are you? Do you usually suffer from PMS? ## i'm 20 years old.no generally my periods will be regular. ## Please advise because i am also suffering from the same problem and my periods are regular generally.

Ok so I just started the sprintec. If I'm on the white pills and want my period to stop, should I start on my blue bills again?? ## Hi Boo! U should really stick 2 the directions of taking the pill. Even though the white pills r 2 keep u on track, u should still take them. U want 2 keep your body on a schedule. Did u just start the pill, recently? If so, your periods could b off 4 a couple of months. Then, usually, the periods will slow down. Some women don't get their period, after a few months. Hope this info helps. ## To prevent your period, you'd basically have to let it not start, but going straight into a new pack of active pills and skipping the white ones. It is usually perfectly to safe to do, once in awhile, unless your doctor gives you some reason not do. There ar...

I have been taking it for one year and am addicted to it. I'm getting hot & cold legs, sometimes a tingling sensation and muscle stiffness. I want to stop taking zolfresh. What is the best way to do this? ## It would be best to taper it slowly, after being on it for so long, though you may still experience some nervousness, irritability, and insomnia, according to the NIH. Are you on any other medications? What dosage of Zolfresh have you been taking? ## I have been taking zolfresh 5 mg and now it has gone up to 20 mg and i want to slowly taper off. It's been a while and now i feel like i have to stop taking it and start fresh.

I stopped neurontin on July 3, 2014. On July 7, I started itching so bad that I didn't know what to do. Does this seem like it is related? I was thinking about asking my doctor to go back on it. Would this help with severe itching and feeling scratchy all over my body? Thank you! I hope you can help me. ## Hello, Renea! How are you? If you're still itching, after several months, it likely isn't related to stopping the medication. It could happen, at first, due to chemical changes in the body, as a withdrawal reaction, but that usually doesn't last more than a few weeks to a month. Have you been using anything else new, such a soap, shampoo, or laundry detergent? Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor about the itching?

A little over 2 weeks ago my long term episodic heartburn become more persistent, so I purchased a 14 day regimen of generic Omeprazole. Its effect was dramatic; I had no symptoms for the entire period. When the 14 days were over I stopped per the directions. The heartburn came back almost immediately, and worse than before, so I had to start taking it again, and again it's working. How can I stop? I don't want to have to take this forever (age 66). ## Hello, Tom! How are you? Sometimes, if you've suffered some esophageal erosion, it can take a longer course of treatment for it to heal.

I think i suffer from hyperhydrosis. Why do i have high body odor for so long and how can i stop it? I am out of options ## It is hard to guess as to why you have this issue. Do you sweat a lot? Are you on any medications? What types of foods do you eat? Usually the odor can be minimized by engaged in good personal hygiene, such as bathing regular, and using antiperspirant/deodorant. Fresh sweat doesn't have an odor, so washing it off, before it can become stale and full of bacteria is a very important factor. ## I have been experiencing a bad odor coming from my nose for a couple of months and I don't know what kind of drug to take that will help me get rid of this sickness.

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.

can you stop it immediately or taper off ## Hi Pat, Due to the number of complaints regarding withdrawal symptoms associated with Lyrica, I would highly recommend that you taper off this dangerous drug instead of stopping it abruptly. Usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them. It may also be a good idea to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about writing up a tapering schedule for you on a calendar to give you an idea of how long it might take before you can safely stop taking it. I hope this helps! ## Hi Pat, I have bee...
