Ammonium bituminosulfonate or ammonium bituminosulphonate (synonyms of ichthammol, CAS#8029-68-3 brand name: Ichthyol) is a product of natural origin obtained in the first step by dry distillation of sulfur-rich oil shale (bituminous schists). By sulfonation of the resulting oil (or purified fractions thereof), and subsequent neutralization with ammonia, Ichthammol results as a viscous, water-soluble substance with a characteristic bitumen-like odor.[1] It is used in medicine...

I was prescibed Serta-50mg.by the doctor for depression.I have been taking it for last three years.Since I am feeling netter. can I stop it.now ## Do not stop cold turkey! You will be very sick. My doctor said to wean slowly. For a month, take a half a pill a day. Then a half a pill every OTHER day. Then stop. I did it just like this 33 days ago was the last pill I had and im still trying to get these withdraw symptoms to stop. Im very sick to my stomach almost all the time. It sucks ## Hi Meena! The reason you are feeling better is because you are taking the medication. I know people who stopped their medication and they were fine for awhile then lapsed into depression again. It is NOT good to stop the medication until you speak to your doctor. Call him first.

I took a pill lisinopril then took a sulfanethoxazole and an ibuprofen that is white and says I8 on it. I passed out and dont rememenber is that normal if you mix them thee drugs together for that to happen? Just worried me ## The relevant question is, did you actually pass out, or did you just get drowsy, lay down and go to sleep? If it is the former, then you should refrain from mixing them in the future, until you consult your doctor. If it was the latter, then getting drowsy and falling asleep from the combo is possible, because they can all cause drowsiness, as a side effect. ## I got prescribed smz/tmp. I do take lisinoprial for high blood pressure. I took one of each pill today should I be concerned ?

Hi there! It's my first time to use diane35 pills. After I completed the 21 tablets I stop taking it for 7 days as resting period. Within those days I haven't had my period. So on the 8th day I again started taking diane35 pills. But I noticed that Im having brown discharge but not too much. Should I stop taking the pill or still continue taking the scheduled pills? ## That can be a normal side effect of this oral contraceptive, according to NIH reports, the brown discharge is usually just old blood that was left in the uterus from the last time you had a period. Other typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? ## Hi Verwon! Glad to see your reply! I...

2 wks ago i had a stroke, i am incredibly fit and eat healthy all my doc reports said they had no idea why at a the young age of 40, i would have a stroke. i have no health issues. i decided it's probably the pill since every side effect of any pill is blood clots and strokes. BINGO! I CALLED MY OB AND SHE SAID STOP IMMEDIATELY. i am also CALLING THE FDA # ON THE LOESTRIN SITE FOR THESE TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU END UP IN THE HOSPITAL ## Wow, I am so sorry, that's horrible. However, the possibility of blood clots and stroke happening are true of any hormonal based contraceptive, not just Loestrin. Learn more oral contraceptive details here. It's great that you're reporting it and fantastic of you to post a warning here for others. How are you doing?...

I have very bad sciatica on my right leg, I past. 6 month I had 3 epidural shots. the last one was 9 days ago, I am having discomfort and pressure on my right calf with some tingling on my foot also, will this go away? ## Hello, Michael! How are you? I'ms sorry about the problem that you're having. Are you on any other medications? Discomfort and pressure like that could be the sign of blood clot, so rather than leave it go and attribute it to the epidural, I strongly urge you to see your doctor and have it checked out, for your own safety. Did you have any side effects from the others?

I had my last menstrual period on 25 July 2014. I had Intercouse on 28 July and took I pill on next day. After 7 days of I pill I had bleeding per vaginally for 3-4 days. But till today means about 2 months completed & I have no menstrual periods.

i am 13 and it started when i was 10. 2 year it was alright but these 5 6 months i have been very sad about this. it is like 2 times period a month. sometimes it is heavy and some light ## At your age, hormonal fluctuations are normal and they will usually cause irregular cycles. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you find a way to regulate your cycles.

The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Are you on any other medications? Congratulations on the pregnancy?

I was on methadone for 2 years at 60 mg. Stopped cold turkey, was in hell for 5 weeks. Please stay away from this devil. My opinion is it's the worst drug on the planet. Also my dad was slowly dying from cancer during my wd. I hate that drug! ## Lbreezy, You actually went cold turkey from 60 mg everyday to zero with nothing to assist in your Withdrawl process?? It's hard to believe you didn't need to be hospitalized that's a very serious Withdrawl, I'm sure your still experiencing protracted withdrawals this condition can last up to 6 months or more...

I am a 60 year old female. I was in a roll-over car accident in 1973, just before my 19th birthday. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital in traction. Every so often the pain would drive me to seek medical treatment. This went on for more than 30 years. I've tried just about everything to alleviate the agony, even an epidural about 20 years ago. 4 1/2 years ago I found a pm dr. She was a total b****. After 3 years, my drug panel was positive for thc once & told me "I'd be more than happy to wean you off your meds & you can have your street drugs". In CA, medicinal marijuana is legal, but remains a federal crime. After leaving her, I found another pm dr. I jumped from the frying pan into the fire. The dr I chose is worse! I've been seeing him for 18 months. I really...

2 fatty soft cysts under my knee. Painless. Same leg, swollen sore foot. ## Hello, Dawn! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Are you certain they are cysts? Has a doctor confirmed this? A cyst should feel like a ripe grape and should have clearly defined edges, be it oval or round. If they are really soft and not firm, they may be due to an infection, of some type that needs to be drained, or they may be related to some other health condition. It could even be swollen lymph nodes, as explained by the NIH. Given the swelling in your foot and the soreness, you should have your doctor check this out to be certain what is causing the issue and to get proper treatment, if necessary. Have you ever had an infection in this leg, knee or foot? ## No infection, no...
