Medication For Insane

So, I've been taking the "old tablet", gross, bitter fioricet for unremitting trigeminal Neuralgia for about 6 years off and when my horrible TN kicks in. It has ALWAYS BEEN my miracle drug. Literally, I ran the gamut of headache meds. I'm 54 and have been getting aura, aura loop migraines since I was 16; then Trigeminal Neuralgia, nicely nicknamed, "The Suicide Disease" was found 6 years ago. It brings me to my knees....BBBBUUUT! The new capsule formulation of Fioricet does ZERO for it now, but it does make me vomit copiously with no relief from what used to be my miracle drug. I am on ACA and they don't want to pay for the old formulation, (they even went so far as to tell me that pill form never existed., so my pharmacist ordered it and I brought a pic, sh...

Hi. I just took the last brown pill in my second pack of Lo Loestrin Fe. I have not bled at all yet. On the first pack I had bad cramping on the last white pill and then spotted on the first brown. Such light spotting that I only needed a panty liner for 2 days. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about pregnancy? I've never missed a pill and started the first pack when I was supposed to start the new pack of my old birth control, Yasmin. I am switching back. This pill is making me insane with worry. ## yes, its very normal. light spotting on lo lo estrin or lo estrin is what a lot of people experience. ## Gia's answer is correct. Contraceptives, such as this, contain hormones to prevent ovulation, which prevents pregnancy and changing the amount of hormones in your body can c...

Will someone PLEASE tell me who makes the BEST 8 mg Hydromorphone? I can't afford the brand name. I heard Mallincrodkt sucks. BUT they do make the best Roxicodone. But I can't find anyone to tell me which manufacturer makes the best 8 mg hydromophone. It's driving me INSANE. I don't want my prescription filled with ineffective medications and ya know you can't take it back. So far I have found Roxanne, Mallinckrodt, and one other I can't remember the name. But that's it. Roxanne only got 8.6 out of 10. They don't make Abbott anymore UNFORTUNATELY cause I heard they were the best. If someone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it. I have exactly one week before I'm prescribed it again. And I KNOW I'm gonna have to call around for it. ...

I have never seen a government or it's people so anal retentive about opiates like our country is, it is ridiculous. Legitimate pain patients cannot even get pain meds now, because everyone is insane about them. They make pain meds for a reason, to stop pain! Everyone needs to get over their fixation with calling everyone a junkie that has to use painkillers. I've never seen anything like it! ## NO ONE WILL RESPOND TO MY THREAD BECAUSE THEY KNOW I AM 110% CORRECT !!! ## You said it! I am on methadone (not for pain)so imagine how I am treated! You don't know the half! And NY is more liberal than most states, especially in the city.

Apo tramadol is the only other opiod I could find because I cant afford my medication for methodone anymore, and withdrawel is insane. Am I going to die? ## Hello, Hallows! How are you? I doubt you'll die, but the withdrawals could cause dangerous seizures which may require emergency medical attention. Tramadol is nowhere near as potent as Methadone. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you discussed the situation with your doctor?

Day 7 on 10mg Brintellix. Nausea improving. Daily neck pain and headaches. Anxiety through the roof. Not sleeping at all. Insane watery diarrhea since day 5. Need something mainly for anxiety. Not feeling hopeful about Brintellix. ## I'm very sorry that you're so miserable. Those can be normal side effects of such a medication, usually they last about 3 to 4 weeks, before tapering off and then going away entirely. You may also experience dizziness and weight changes, as reported by the FDA. Has there been any change, yet?

I have been on Xanax for 16 yrs using the same doctor for that 16 years and she passed 2 years ago. since then I have seen doc. after doc. trying to get back on my meds but it seems all doctors are entirely hesitant or completely against prescribing the medication. I feel as though im going insane and really need help finding a doctor in Tulsa who is willing to help me. I have Medicaid ins. Need help please! ## If you are truly off Xanax it is best to stay away from it? I have had no problem in getting it, big problem in trying to stop it! ## Hello, Ellie! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a specialist, if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis. The best thing to do would be to set yourself up with a PCP ...

m on one side ## The tablet with the M 0552 marking contains 5mgs of Oxycodone, which is a potent narcotic analgesic.

Dr. gave me 300mg of gabapentin today for back & sciatic nerve pain what effects have anyone had from this drug? Good 0r Bad ## The elderly are naturally more prone to experiencing side effects from medications, because their bodies tend to be more sensitive to them, so there's a good chance that you'll experience some side effects. The most common ones to Gabapentin are nausea, dizziness, weight changes and mood changes. Learn more Gabapentin details here. Does anyone have any experiences to share? ## I was going insane with pain and after trying all levels of opiates, gabapentin (300 mgm 3 x/day) made my life bearable until I had my knee replacement. (2 years ago) then about 4 months ago I took it for 3 weeks to deal with arthritic pain in my lower spine (100-200mgm per da...

This is a bone-density medication from Mexico. I can't read Spanish. Are there particular instruction for taking this medication? ## See the page on Alendronate - it should have the information you're looking for on this drug... ## recently purchased Apodrolen(alendronato) for Fosamax, in Mexico, is this safe to take for bone loss? ## Phyllis, please see your doctor or pharmacist to ask that question, since it is a Mexican drug, there are chances that it is impure, dangerous, or etc. Since they are not regulated like drugs in the US are, so your only safe bet would be to consult a professional who might know a little more about the med and the manufacturer. ## Since we want to do everything we can to support the US drug companies and protect their insane profits please don't...

I am 21 and am on day 41+ of a severe chronic sinus infection. I say plus because I was taking the medication Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia pain before my counting started and I believe the symptoms I experienced from Cymbalta were so intense that it hid the infection since my "Day 1" is from a trip to the ER and I've read it takes awhile for you to end up in the hospital from sinus infections. Also, it is still going on. My doctor originally thought my symptoms -intense pressure in head-pain in both ears-extreme sensitivity to light and noise-and INSANE throbbing pain like a knife stabbing the right side of my head randomly for minutes at a time- were the start of chronic migraines or a little sinus infection, however, was wrong after I got my Brain MRI results back last week s...

I am going crazy. I have never felt right on this. I was 24 weeks on Harvoni, and had been bedridden since then due to my liver, back issues, pain, headaches, chest discomfort, unable to swallow, see clearly, and have nausea constantly. ## Those can be typical side effects of this medication according to the FDA. You may also experience dizziness and stomach pain. Have you finished your course of treatment, yet? Are you on any other medications? ## Harvoni has also caused my immune system to go completely insane. I was healthier when I had hep c. Also, just because some people have good results from this drug (no side effects for instance) it is very bad logic to assume this to be true for all takers of the drug. More importantly, it does not mean it is a SAFE drug for all. I warn anyon...

For 10 years I have been devoted to this drug. I have a beautiful loving wife, a 3 month old daughter, I own my own home and bought a new car a few years ago. 10 years ago I was hospitalized because I thought I had to save the world from itself. Today, I am a counselor for homeless youth and young adults. Although I am no longer trying to "save the world" I am now facing a dilemma of trying to preserve my world without going insane. I have a lot at stake. I am much older now. I like to think I have learned a few things about myself and illness. The truth is I hate having to take medication. I was 19 when I first had my break and now I am 30. I was 180 and now I am 280. I carry the weight well but since I no longer have the weight of the world on my shoulders (which was a tremend...

My wife is on tasigna for over a year now and has gad some moderate heart problems first a slim heart rate 50bpm then latter up to 170bpm. Not on the same day. But also a lot of unexplained pains. Dr says it's not tasigna but only started happening once started on them ## According to the U.S. FDA it can cause those types of symptoms as side effects. She may also experience nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, difficulty moving and loss of voice. How long will she be taking it? Does she take any other medications? ## I would check out all the lawsuits lately, it’s insane the conditions tasigna can cause! I reached out because of my own terrible side effects.

I started taking Sprintec late last week, so I dont have too long of an experience with it thus far. however, the night that I started taking it, almost immediately after I started my period. I had just had my regular period 2 weeks before. The bleeding on this period is INSANE. I havent bled this much since I was 16. the birth control that I was on before this (yaz) made it so that I only had a true period every 3 to 4 months, with spotting in between. My doctor changed me to Sprintec because the Yaz didnt seem to be working anymore the way that it should have. my doctor warned me that it could be like this for about 3 months or at least until my body becomes used to this certain medication. The amount of bleeding I am having is just so unreal that I am concerned that it is not normal....

I have had Bone Spurs along my Lumbar and Some Thoracic vertebral bodies. Also, L4, L5 bulging discs. prescribed OxyContin gradually from 10 mg to 80mg over 12 years. Pain started to decrease and lowered my medication to Methadone 10mg /2 or 3 pills every 12 hours. Pain Managed until August 4th, 2014 car accident causing a burst fracture of my L4 vertebrae. The Doctors prescribed 4 x 10 mg Methadone tabs q 8 hours and 5 mg Valium for spasms . Pain relieve if I lay in bed and do nothing except go insane. They changed my Dose from 4x 10 mg Methadone tabs q 8 hours to q 12 hours which did not cover me for 12 hours. Then they added 10 mg Oxycodone/325 for break through. This is still not relieving my pain, and I'm on bed rest since Aug 4tth with OT and PT which I'm always canceling ...

I have looked everywhere for answers to my questions for the symptoms of withdrawals of Norco but haven't found what I needed. ## I recently ran out of Norco that I have been on for a year. 10/325 at 4 a day. The withdrawals were insane. I have since gotten more meds but I can't get this awful taste out of my mouth nor can I shake this weak feeling I have. Any help? ## This will probably last for about two weeks. You need to get off them their really bad, and make you feel horrible when you don't have them!
