Interaction Between Medication

Am I safe taking modafinil with metformin ## I didn't find any interactions listed between the two medications, but you should check with your doctor or chemist to be certain. You can learn more Modafanil details here and you can learn more Metformin details here. And if you're diabetic, there may be other complications involved, so you shouldn't take any medication without your doctor's approval. Have they both been prescribed for you? ## Verwon, I would like to thank you for the "Modafanil details" part of your post. I learned a lot from it. I also, once again, saw in writing on information regarding Modafinil, the reason my Doctor prescribes it for me, which is depression.

I want to know if there is any documented interaction between these two medications. I was prescribed the Remeron (30 mg) to take it at night and the Nuvigil (150 mg) in the morning. I have been experiencing a strange sensation when I move my head quickly or go up/down the steps. The sensation leaves me for a brief second feeling as if I was on a boat or on a wave. I also experience increased ringing in my ears but no pain. I don't have headaches but the sensation is very uncomfortable. My doctor doesn't seem to think it is due to the medications and that perhaps there may be something affecting my balance system which has not been identified yet. Do you have any information? ## There are no interactions listed between the two medications, however, Nuvigil contains Armodafinil, ...

I take seroquel to help me sleep and imitrex for migraine. My knees have swollen and are painful. A couple of years ago I was on Celexa and imitrex.

Though I am not saying what you heard is completely unfounded I just was not able to find any eviden...

Does anyone know of any evidence of interactions between Testopel and marijuana? 40 yo with Low T (300). Went from gel to injections, now on pellets. ## As of this time, marijuana has not been found to interact dangerously with anything, in various medical studies available on PubMed. The main warning, however, is that since it tends to make people feel very mellow, it could result in more sedation and dizziness than usual, when combined with some medications…. which in turn means don't drive and stay away from heavy machinery. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is it true that marijuana usage can reduce t-levels? Will using while on Testopel be counterproductive?

My husband's age is 69. He is taking Amlodipine Besylate 5mg. He has just been prescribed Cialis and Flomax 0.4mg. for ED and BPH. Is there any "current" research showing a risk for lowering blood pressure to a dangerous low when taking all 3 meds conurrently? I have read that the FDA approved Cialis for urinary symptoms of prostate enlargement in 2011. His urinary problem is not severe...why could he not use Cialis to treat both ED & BPH and drop the Flomax? Also he plans to have cataract surgery and I have read that IFIS is caused by alpha blockers & can complicate surgery even months after stopping use of Flomax. ( He has not filled the RX for Cialis nor Flomax yet). Thank you for your time.
