I M Freaking Out

I am on about week four of epiduo. I went to the derm with about three cysts. He told me o your acne is not that bad. And gave me a prescription for epiduo and doryx. At about day 7 I had to quit the doryx I could barely stand up. I stuck through with the epiduo and was prescribed kephlex as an antibiotic. I have prob been on the antibiotic for 2 and a half weeks and as I said the epiduo for about four. My face is freaking out! I have called out of work twice for pain and irritation. I also look like I am engulfed in pimples from my nose down and around. I take 600 mg of Advil three times away but it's still painful. I'm so scared I have always had a few flare ups a year with cysts but never this little white head acne. I am getting married in three months! I feel like my life i...

Ok, I just cut a 15 mg Extended release in quarters and took 2 quarters and now I'm freaking out after reading all these do not do thats! Help!! What now? ## Did you suffer any adverse effects? There is a risk of overdose in people who are not opiate tolerant, when they cut or break a time released tablet, because they could end up getting too much of the medication, at once. The FDA says to watch for symptoms such as extreme dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and shallow breathing.

The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-alle...

I swallowed a little bit of it. I was rinsing when all of a sudden some if it got in my throat, and I spit it out right away. PLEASE HELP :( I'M FREAKING OUT. ## If you are afraid that your life, or the life of a loved one is in danger, you should always contact your nearest emergency services department, or poison control. That said, did you talk to your pharmacy or doctor? These products are regional and do not have the same ingredients everywhere, so I can't even say whether or not swallowing it would be harmful. Have you asked your pharmacist?

My husband got 2 teeth broken down to gum. He was in so much pain he went diving through medicine cabinet found old darvocet from 1997 took 2 of them. I'm freaking out since I saw date on them. Will these hurt him should I take him to hospital have his stomach pumped? Help im scared! ## No, they don't turn into anything toxic, once they're expired. They just start to lose efficacy, so they don't work as well as they would have when they were new. The best thing to do is to keep a close eye on him. This medication was pulled from the market by the FDA a few years ago, because they do create a risk of cardiac dangers, though it's usually only temporary, while someone is being treated with them. So, if he starts to experience an erratic heart beat, or anything, then he...

I started taking 20 mg of simvastatin about 6 days ago. I haven't had any problems except for a mild headache. But last night, something happened that is really freaking me out. I don't know if I should continue to take the medication. I took my pill after supper around 6 p.m. I went to bed around 11. As soon as I laid down, I felt a tightness in my chest and like I couldn't catch my breath. I don't have asthma and have never expereinced anything like this before. I felt like I couldn't take a deep breath. I also started yawning one after another for about 15 minutes. I read the leaflet for this drug that I received from the pharmacy. It listed shortness of breath and tightness in the chest as a sign of an allergic reaction? Should I take my pill tonight and see if i...

I was on Prozac (fluoxetine) for about 8-9 years starting when I was about 14 years old. I'm 23 now and for about the last two-three years I started getting weird side effects and feelings that I never had before. I would feel spaced out, disoriented, out of body, dizzy, angry, light/visual disturbances and really wishhy washy, like bi polar feelings and suicidal feelings. I had never had these ever before. I was on the Prozac for severe anxiety and panic attacks. I never had depression or bi polar feeling ever in my life. And I always would get dizzy spells and just feel SOOO spaced out and out of body literally so freaking weird. So when these symptoms started happening I went to numerous docs and they all found nothing wrong physically. Blood tests, check up all normal. So I deci...

I have been taking Lomedia 24fe for 6 months, have never missed a pill and take at same time every day. I always had a light period before taking the pill and had spotting when taking the brown pills for the first 4 months but have not had a period the past two months. Is it normal to stop having a period while taking Lomedia 24fe? Pregancy tests are negative. ## I've also been exactly on lomedia for 6 months. This month I didn't get a period, haven't missed a pill at all. I'll be taking a pregnancy test, though I have no signs of pregnancy. It's kind of freaking me out too! ## Hello, Annabelle and Suzanne! How are both of you ladies? Yes, some women don't have periods, when taking oral contraceptives.

How are you doing? Has there been any change? Fluid retention and headache can be normal side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness and acne. It could take a few days for things to settle down and return to normal. What condition was being treated?

I was taking a birthcontrol , n then I switched to another pill brand before my period started . N now I have all the pains like I'm going to start but nothing. So I'm continuing to take the pill n also saw on line that taking 3000mgs of vitamin -c will bring down your period . So I'm trying that now I'm on day 2 of taking vitamin -c . I took a test n I'm not pregnant . Do you think it's because I switched brands at the wrong time. I've never experienced this before so I'm freaking out . ## Hello, Garcia! How are you? First, that is just a myth about vitamin C, it will not actually bring on your period. As to the oral contraceptives, yes. It is most likely due to your switching, especially if the hormone levels in the new one are different than those in t...

Hi all, I've been on the full dose of fumaderm for a few weeks now. My skin is clear and she side effects of flushing etc are rare now. However in the last week I've started to wake up soaking. I'm soaked and my bed. I wonder if this is from the meds or something else ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? Yes, that can be a side effect of Fumaderm, also with cramping and skin tingling, as reported by the FDA. Users report that they typically go away, with time, as your body gets used to the medication and they start to occur far less frequently. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for your reply. I was freaking out thinking I had some form of cancer or something. I hadn't heard of night sweats as a symptom. Just the hot flushes and I've never sweat with the flu...

Okay. My sister suffers from GREAT muscle pain due to an injury she sustained in her leg years ago. Our grandmother recently died, and my sister inherited the house. She has found many different forms of pills, but the one that she's curious about is the bottle of Flexeril, seeing as how she's used it before in the past for her muscle spasms and such, but can't get any medication right now as she doesn't currently have insurance of any kind. Here's the catch: I told her that from my understanding, you can generally take Flexeril anywhere from 5-15 years after its listed expiration date. HOWEVER...... These pills were prescribed in 198-freaking-2. She thinks they're totally safe to take, just probably less potent. I'm not so sure. Does anyone have ANY advice o...

So... I was going on a cruise and according to my birth control, I was going to be on my period, so, I purposely took the placebos before the cruise in order to get my period, then while on the cruise I would be on the pill. While on the cruise I had intercourse, and now (4 weeks later) I am spotting brown very sporadically. Is this normal because I messed up my pills? Since my last period it has been 5 weeks, so I'm guessing its normal, but I'm still kind of freaking out. ## Hello, Sabrina! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, that can happen if you try to adjust your cycle, because it upsets the hormonal balance in your body.

I accidently took 150 mgs of Lyrica at one time. Will I be ok? I tried to vomit and can't. I am freaking out. ## Relax, you will be okay. You are not the first to do this and people involved in the first study ingested more than this. It is okay, just be more careful. ## Vomiting will not help. Just keep drinking as many fluids as you can to avoid any toxicity. I doubt very very much you would be toxic though because you would have known it by now with a high fever, or chills, lots of sweating, inability to think or talk well. If you dont have these symptoms relax and go on with life.
