My family dpctor is quiting is practice and I need a doctor that will wrote me prescription fpr them and be their patient.I have acascularnecrosis of the hips and recently had a left hip replacement..if anyone knows of a doc that will plz let me know. ## Hello, Boozer27! How are you? You're no longer going to be able to have it prescribed by a PCP, due to the new regulations that were put in place last year. The easiest way to find the help you need would be to ask your current doctor to refer you to someone, before he retires. 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. Does anyone know of any good...

thare is hardly a difrance between the new and old oxy. your all a bunch of addics and all you guys want is your old high that the new oxy dosent offer, well good, im glad you guys cant get high anymore, i have a stomic full of tumors you dont hear me crying, ## There is no need for a rude post. There is a difference in the formulation of the new Oxycontin OP and whenever medications are changed like that, it can cause problems for some people, because medications can affect everyone differently. I am sorry to read that you are suffering, but you really need to calm down and phrase your opinions in a better manner, if you want people to listen to them. Are there any questions or comments? ## Hey I agree with you whole heartedly and really do hope that this new formulation is effective f...

Just started on Chantix three days ago....no negative side effects so far. I am a registered nurse and am aware of the positive and negative effects of this drug. That said, this is my last hope as I have never been able to quit before. Family and friends are watching me closely for behavioral abnormalities. My quit date is set for 4 days from now! Really having high hopes for this pill....lol. It has helped many doctors and nurses that work with me. Just be aware of your body, and have a line of communication open with your family and doctor to express your thoughts and feelings. I would love to chat with others who are currently on Chantix, lets hope this works!!! ## It has successfully helped many people and I hope it works for you, as well. We've had quite a few people post thei...

Learn more Viibryd details here. I certainly hope it works for you. What other classes of medications have you tried? ## Hi r u still on viibryd what was your experience thx

I went to walgreens and they said in allowed only 12 pills per day, not the 15 I take. I went to a clinic before and have been going down SLOWLY. 40 mg drop a day is drastic. Is this walgreens or dea? ## Hello, May I ask what medication you are talking about? If you provide me with more information I can most definitely research this for you.

I use to take Divan for B/P and my pressure was in the 125 range but this med. went sky rocking in price, so he change me to this med. losartan which is more cheaper, but my B/P went up to 135-140 range, is this good??? should I be concern? an other question my iron has awlway been on the low side the last results was 77 I don't understand this numbers, they use be like 12-14, thanks for any help. Michael ## Hello, Michael! How are you? What is your diastolic, aka the lower number? For the top the 135 to 140 aren't dangerous numbers, just slightly elevated and it's normal for most people to hit them occasionally. Generally, most doctor's don't worry about that range. It could even be due to a slight rebound effect from switching medications. Losartan is an ARB and it...

I recently moved to Sacramento from very far away. My doc there had me on 30 mg of oxycodone twice a day. This has been going on for 12 years since a logging accident and the pain and my tolerance is getting very high. Can anyone recommend a Doc in the Sac area that would be good for something like this. I am hoping to get something stronger. Thanks ## there is another way to go with online ordering and its not as dangerous as you think, if you cant find a doc I can give you some useful info. It comes from down south of cali but safe. Ive done it when needed for breakthru pain. My doc gives me all the norco I need but at times I need a little stronger something for my pain so Ive gone the online route many times. oxy, roxi almost anything you could need. if info needed post back I'l...

Good Morning! We filled my son's scrip for Doryx and low and behold it is now a rectangle! Has anyone else had this issue - just want to confirm it is a change by the manufacturer. I have looked online and seen both, but the actual documentation says rectangle. ## What are the markings on it? That is what would enable use to check for you and make sure it is the correct medication. The shape doesn't actually mean anything. There are many generic Doxycycline tablets on the market, far too many for me to browse through all of them looking for a specific shape.

I need a new doctor in Mobile,Al to prescribe me Alprazolam,which I've been on for 3 years.I have all my medical records.I'm having very bad panic attacks at night & can't sleep because of the bad dreams I'm having. Thanks ## If you suffer from anxiety and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), usually your best bet is to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. Reason being is that they are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and many general physicians are reluctant to prescribe controlled substances due to abuse and the heavy regulations that they have to abide by from the government. If you do opt to see a regular medical doctor, some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any given me...

stimulate low white blood cells during chemotherapy ## I think you meant Neulasta, it contains the active ingredient Pegfilgrastim. The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, administration site irritation, headache, kidney issues, and spleen rupture. Has it been prescribed for you?

hello...I would like to know your results with either opana or morphine..i started going to pain management AGAIN after several years and was given oxycontin, 15mg x 2 per day. this does absolutely nothing for pain..i go back in a week and was wondering if opana or morphine might be better?? just wondering...thanks to all for reading, HOUSE ## Hello, House! How are you? They are all effective analgesics, but it really depends on you and how your body responds to them. What pain medications were effective for you in the past? That might give a better idea of where to go next. 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.

I have just started taking 10mg oxycontin I am prescribed one every twelve hrs and 5mg perc for breakthrough ever 6 hrs as needed I was wondering if anyone could give me a good schedule to be on to be completely pain free anyone with experiance please help I have Avascualr necrosis in my hips and replacement is a ways off ## There is really no set schedule that anyone can give you that will be guaranteed to work for you. What you have to do is play around yourself and see what works best to manage your pain. You may need to take them on a rigid schedule, or you may be able to have a little more leeway. Has your doctor made any suggestions?

I just started taking Paxil two days ago. As of this moment I feel sick and depressed. I started taking Paxil after two weeks of Effexor made my symptoms much worse. I feel like I'm hanging onto my sanity by a thread. All these brief ups and and never ending downs are just too much to deal with on a daily basis. Please Paxil work your magic!! ## Hello, Ed! How are you? Unfortunately, many antidepressants can cause a temporary worsening of symptoms for a few weeks, before things change and your symptoms start to improve. I take one for PMS/perimenopausal irritability and overtime we adjust the dosage, I just tend to expect it for about 3 weeks, before I see an improvement. The FDA lists Paxil as being an SSRI antidepressant and its typical side effects are listed as possibly includin...

This new law is complete bulls***! I have to drive over an hour just to get my medication refilled. I am not like all the others who have 3 and 4 different meds to fill. I only have the one as I told my doctor I did not want to be on a bunch of meds that I would become hooked on but this is just a bigggg pain in the ass to have to call every walmart and pharmacy in town and 2 towns out just to get a script filled. this is just a waste of time. And costing us as patients more money as my doctor has now moved my appointments to every other month instead of every 3 months and I am a cash paying customer as I have no insurance to help with anything. Someone needs to give the DEA a brain and let them see all the trouble they are putting those of us who are responsible with our medications th...

Possible release in 2019? chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/chi-naurex-series-c-funding-bsi-20141202-story.html ## @citygirl, Thanks for sharing this article on the advancement of GLYX-13. I think as long as Evanston can continue to utilize this molecule while minimizing the types of side effects that plague most prescription drugs, they'd find much success expanding on it's application for depression. The research backing up their experiments gives hope to those with treatment resistant depression and in my opinion may be a viable alternative for patients seeking a safer approach to managing these symptoms in the long run. I'll be looking forward to more updates as things progress! ## I meant to share this blurb from Chicago Magazine, as well. I have completed 20 treatme...

helps better than fentanyl or hydromorphone w/ oxy for breakthru .new. began with an 'e' i think . long acting ## I can't really think of anything that begins with an e and what would work better can differ from one person to the next, depending on how their body reacts to the medication. There are a few information articles you can look at, to see if they help you find the information you are seeking: Does anyone else have any ideas?
