83 year age male good general health .recently experanceing shaking in the hands will stemzine assist ## Most drugs in this category with Stemzine are used as anti-psychotics (neuroleptics). Neuroleptic means "nerve seizing," and describes the semi-paralyzing effect these drugs have on the brain and nervous system. That said, it should be effective in assisting this specific condition; however I cannot say whether or not it will certainly do so, as I am not a doctor and don't know anything about your medical history or how this drug affects you, as well as the benefits or disadvantages that it provides you. In all respect I would recommend consulting your doctor about this if you have any other questions or concerns.

I am taking Divalprox 250mg tablets in 750mg doses. I also take Seroques 50mg and Zoloft 150mg. I have been having pain in my knees when I walk from a sitting position and. I have severe pain and numbness in my little finger and the two next to it at the knuckle to the point where it feels tight and hurts to make a fist. Could this be a side effect of my medication? ## Have you consulted your doctor? This medication combination can increase the risk of some problems, such as hyponatremia, or neuroleptic malignant syndrome, so you should consult your doctor to get to the root of the problem. ## This was very helpful. I will make sure to request a blood test to measure the level of sodium in my blood as well as to question the combination of medications I am on. Thank you.

I was just prescribe Bupropion 150mg 2x daily. I also take Tramadol which was prescribed by the same Dr. I'm afraid to start the Bupropion because of the drug interaction btwn the two. Should I be worried? Can I cut the tablets in half & take 75mg 2x daily? ## Hi Donna, After looking over the interaction between these two medications, I can certainly see why you might be scared to take them together. The interaction I found states the following: "MONITOR CLOSELY: The risk of seizures may be increased during coadministration of tramadol with any substance that can reduce the seizure threshold, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anorectics), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, neuroleptic agents, central nervous system stimulants, opioids, tricy...

a drug for ADHD/Bipolar ## Rispidol is a scary drug that no one should take. They tried to push it on me for Depression. The doctors won't tell you the more severe side effects unless you lean on them, then they'll say it's rare. It made me feel like a zombie. More severe effects include: NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME which causes paralysis, seizure, and death: THERE IS NO KNOWN TREATMENT OR CURE. Also TARTIVE DYSCONESIA which causes uncontrolable twitching, especially of the face. Again , no known treatment or cure for T.D, it either goes away on it's own, or is PERMANENT !! My source is the PHYSICIANS DESK REFERENCE {2003]. ## Is this drug the same as Risperdal? ## Yes, they just spelled it wrong. ## Thanks. I have seen this spelling done incorrectly by a prescribing ...

Is it OK to take Aricept 10 mg together with Excedrin PM ? ## Hi Mel, My findings state that there are in-fact unsafe interactions between these two drugs. Posted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "GENERALLY AVOID: Due to opposing effects, agents that possess anticholinergic activity (e.g., sedating antihistamines; antispasmodics; neuroleptics; phenothiazines; skeletal muscle relaxants; tricyclic antidepressants; class IA antiarrhythmics especially disopyramide; carbamazepine; cimetidine; ranitidine) may negate the already small pharmacologic benefits of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in the treatment of dementia. These agents may also adversely affect elderly patients in general. Clinically significant mental status changes associated with anticholinergic agents ca...
