I have been taking hydrochlorothiazide for years and i want to know how long it will take to get out of the system. Its a simple question and i see other people have asked the same question and they answer everything but the time frame of how long or about how long it will take to get out of the system. ## is hydrochlorot 25mg and hydrochlorothiazide 25mg ## I also take this for HBP...why are you concerned about getting it out of your system? Before stopping it, consult your doctor for a replacement or your bp may skyrocket and you'll be putting your health in a compromising state. ## The medication will be completely out of your system between 25-60 hours. However, the effects from a single dose will wear off in about 12 hours. ## It is generally about 5 to 6 half lives for a medic...

I been on Linzess for like 2-3yrs. It is the best that has happened since Zelnorm. I seen everyone's Q&A's and tp answer those in question. I work 8-4pm and usually take it around 3pm giving it an hr or so before eating and by 6 or 7pm it works wonders. For those having severe constipation like myself, I take another before bedtime which is 11/1130pm and by 530am it also releases the rest of stool. So in short, take one around 11pm or bedtime AND another the next day around 3pm (ASK your doctor first if two is suitable- as im not sure and never asked) AND (depending on your work schedule). Just make sure it's an hour before you leave work. ## I believe if you take it twice a day you may desensitize. I cannot site the NIH page I read this on but you could Google it. Best ...

How often should I apply? Is there a limit? ## This often varies from woman to woman. You should consult your physician. ## In most cases, it really isn't necessary, at all. Your body will clean and deodorize itself. If you have had a lot of yeast infections, then you actually shouldn't use douche, since it can upset the PH balance of the vagina and make you even more prone to them. If you do choose to use it, once a month is usually more than enough. Are there any other questions or comments? ## you should never use any messenger juice and should never force anything in your vagina that's going to cause you to get an infection. you simply keep yourself clean and your body will clean itself just like a self cleaning oven. you just don't have to push any buttons if you ha...

my wife has been taking high MGs pain killers! her last dose was 2 am she ran out and took a suboxone and says it didnt make her feel better what shout i do????? ## I would speak with her doctor, Suboxone is highly addictive. If she is also taking other pain killers, it could be very dangerous for her. To learn more about Suboxone click on the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## The reason it did not make her feel better is because you have to be in slight to moderate withdrawal for Suboxone to work properly. Taking it too soon can actually throw you into worse withdrawal symptoms. ## Please, I need info! My son's girlfriend is pregnant and is on suboxin since Mar. She might already be 4 mths, but I am conserned about my...

Hi. I have a question about fentanyl. I'm on 25+12mg every 72hr but still in a lot off pain. Now I heard from a friend that oxycodone 80mg is stronger. I'm in the pain clinic and my dr said my insurance (bmc) doesn't cover the oxycodone. Can anyone tell me if I can pay for the meds with cash? ## Hello, Caroux! How are you? No, Fentanyl is the strongest narcotic available, it is even stronger than Oxycodone. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. However, you may need a medication for breakthrough pain, in addition to the patches. Most doctors will prescribe a low dose Oxycodone or something similar. Have you let your doctor know that your current ...

Hey my fiance had taken cipro and was curious if you have joint pain would your Dr. Still prescribe this drug to you? she does not have it but was curious if they still would. And another question about cipro how long do the side effects last? she worries to much but I love her and want to help her out as much as I can, so any feed back would be very appreciated. ## Hello, Ryan! How are you? It would depend on what is causing the joint pain, there are some cases where it could be contraindicated. And there is no definitive answer on how long the side effects might last, but usually they will wear off a few days after someone finishes their course of the antibiotic. Is there anything else I can help with?

I started clindamycin about 30 hours ago. Before I got it my wisdom tooth was hurting excruciatingly, and I had a bit of swelling. After taking it, the pain is pretty much gone, but the swelling has gotten worse. My question is; does the swelling usually get worse at first after taking this medication? And about how long before it improves? I'm very nervous. I always think the worst. Lol. Any answer would help. Thanks. ## The general rules for an antibiotic are that, if it is working, you should not see any worsening after taking it for a full 24 hours, and you should start to see improvement after taking it for a full days. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Has there been any change, yet?

Meaning I cannot get an answer to this after much research over the years here and there. It’s always the same questions, what’s better, what’s more powerful (which is Oxy of course) or what is the difference between the two. My question is this. Does Hydro hit DIFFERENT receptors then Oxy and vice versa? If Oxy is more powerful, then “assuming” it fills receptors that Hydro does not?? So would taking an Percocet AND a Norco at once not be perfect, to say hitting ALL the receptors? Thanks :) ## Opiate receptors are opiate receptors, so they all work on the same ones, if you read up on the NIH research, some opiates are stronger than others, and some work better for some people than they do for other people. So, while they are sometimes combined to help get ...

I have been on every pain med there is. I am now on fentanyl patches and I use oxycodone as a break through med. I also use lorazepam to help with the anxiety. I have been suffering with massive headaches where I get the feeling the my brain is spinning inside my head. I am wondering if it could be because I change my fentanyl patch to late. Can someone please help me? I am very desperate for an answer. I am starting to feel like I am going crazy. ## What dosage of Lorazepam do you take and how often do you take it? Benzodiazepines can be a headache culprit, so that would be the first thing I'd look at. Learn more Lorazepam details here. Have you talked to your doctor about it, yet? ## I have migraines about 6 days a week, average 10 hrs a day, I try as much as possible to stay away...

I am 31 and have a life insurance policy where I am a "non-smoker" (I know, bad move) I want to get Chantix and quit smoking, but am worried that my life insurance company can find out about the prescription and deny any future benefits should i kick the bucket. Any truth in this? I realize this question is very off topic, but couldnt find an answer anywhere. Thanks in advance. ## I think It's probably going to be rather difficult to give a completely accurate answer to this without actually working for the insurance company and having access to their list of policies. Honesty is always the best policy in my opinion, since things do eventually come full-circle if you believe in karma. Not to say that this is a bad thing, but I'd probably use other more natural methods to...

Hello Doctor put me on Fortesta for low testosterone level. I'm 44 and the level was 187. Been feeling pretty low, etc. The usual symptoms. Been on it about a week now. 4 pumps a day. Couple of questions: 1. Seems to take about 3-4 hours to completely dry. That seem right? 2. Leaving a red itchy patch at application site. Alternating daily, but running out of real estate on the inner thigh so to speak, before the area heals and can handle another application. Any recommendations to relieve the red itchy patches so that I can re-apply to the area sooner? Thanks! ## Hi BDD, I'm not sure what the answer would be to your first question, but if you're still concerned about the red itchy patches, I would personally recommend rubbing a couple drops of lavender essential oil (perhap...

I am on cymbalta 60mg at night and 30mg in the morning along with 200mg of gabapentin 3x a day for fybromayalgia and mild depression. I was given adderall 30mgs and I took a few of them. I felt focused but had started to sweat excessively for a couple of hours and my pupils are dilated. I looked up the symptoms and it linked me to serotonin syndrome. Being freaked out I didn't take my gabapentin or cymbalta yet today. My question is...if I took 60mg of adderall this morning, should I take the other two scripts (cymbalta and gabapentin) today or skip them and wait 24 hrs for the adderall to leave my system? Do I need medical attention or am I being paranoid? My muscles are cramping up in my back and hands so I'm not sure if this is caused from skipping my meds for fibromyalgia or...

Ambien is not a Benzo, it's a Barbiturate I believe ## To clear this up for everyone that might need to, the FDA actually classifies Ambien/Zolpidem as a sedative/hypnotic. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, sleep actions and next day hangover-like effects. Are there any questions or comments? ## Zolpidem is not a benzo, but just as addictive. I was on it for years and cant remember much of that time as it causes the most horrible amnesia. I beg people now to never start using it, EVER. ## it is not a benzo nor it is a barbiturate. the generic is called zolpidam. ## Ambien is not a benzo however if used recreationally not speaking from personal experience but if use for that purpose it's been reported that it does have some b...

Hi. My girlfriend is a recovering addict and takes suboxone regularly (prescribed). Its hard for me to tell the difference between the side effects of suboxone and the dope. She stays up all night restless and cleans and gets moody often. She also takes Prozac and was prescribed topamax but does not take topamax. Can you tell me if this is normal? Also is it possible to feel high off of proxy or H while on suboxone? ## Unfortunately, nobody would be able to answer your first question with any certainty but your GF, simply because side effects to the same meds may vary significantly among different people. There are certain tell tale signs that should make you suspicious...but then I'm sure you wouldn't be asking this q if you weren't already. That means you are at a point wh...

any answers on my question about pharmacy charging everyone a 10.00 shortage for there pain medslqin ## Hello, Dave! How are you doing? I'm not sure about the legality of it, but in my opinion, I don't think it's right for them to be doing it. However, if you want your medications, paying the extra $10 is probably the easiest thing to do, since they can be very hard to find this time of year. Have you tried other pharmacies?

hI hOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL ANSWER PROMPLY AS MY APPT IS TOMARROW. AFTER 3 YRS ON SUB IVE HAD ENOUGH AND AM GOING ONTO METHODONE. I KNOW HOW IT GOES FROM AN OPIATE TO SUB BUT HOW DOES IT WORK GOING FROM SUB ONTO METHODONE ## I know its been a while, and Im sorry you had no help here by the looks of things, but I was wondering.....How did you end up doing it and did it help? Thanks ## Yes, I am also hoping you got the answers you needed from your doctor, or clinic. Unfortunately, I don't have any information on switching from Suboxone to Methadone, or what the proper procedure is. Most of the questions we receive are in regards to switching from other drugs to Suboxone, since it allows you to become completely drug free, where Methadone usually doesn't. If you did get the informati...

Can anyone help me wit the question of is methadone sugarfree. Im on methadone (45mls pinadone) now obviously yo-yoed r the years but the one problem iv found is my teeth are wrecked since being on it. My doctor in the clinic says its sugarfree that's why they use pinadone solution but any dentist iv been to hav said it wrecks teeth. So what is the answer because i think as methadone patients/clients we have the right to know the truth to that long asked question. ## I completely agree with you my Dennis just said the same thing to me I've been on methadone for a year this time and have had three teeth pulled in eight cavities filled just from one year so they're lying just like they say the you can't be in withdrawal after 12 hours that's BS too ## Hey guys, it real...
