i just went to my pain doctor for the first time under the new law, he wrote me a prescription for 2 months and said go to any pharmacy. i'm taking norco 7.5/325 took it to walgreens, and they filled the 60 day suppy with no problem. before my doctor was dispensing meds at his office. so this was the first time at a pharmacy. it went smooth but took about 30 minutes for first time red tape. ## Hello, Marc! How are you? I'm very glad that you were able to get your prescription filled without a hassle. The FDA classifies this as 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. Is there anything I can help with?

I got Jadelle on 11/07/2013 . I was fine from July up until the start of September when I started getting chest pains regularly and twice they were so severe so much that I couldn't even move. They lasted about 10 to 15 minutes. Is this related to the Jadelle implant? ## Hello, Mutsa! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the chest pain. However, all chest pain should be checked out by a doctor immediately! It may be related to the hormones in the Jadelle, or it may be due to something else, but either way, it needs to be checked out medically for your own safety. Is there anything else I can help with?

Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain.

I have been experiencing aches and pains since starting Lipitor. Is this normal? ## Hi rob - Lipitor lists several side effects related to what you are experiencing. Headaches are the most common, along with possible chest / abdominal pain or arthritis in less than 10% of users. You can see the full list on the page for . If these continue then I would recommend that you report them to your prescribing physician ASAP, as they may decide to switch your medication or dosage. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi Ladies and Gents, Please i have been nursing angina pains for the past two - three years now. I have been religiously taking my recommended tablet (Nitromin) tablet 5 mg initially and currently the Nitromin Spray. My concern is that this medication no longer has good control as it was before. I was advice that body systems have outgrown the drug. Please advice. ## Have you consulted your doctor? Yes, it is normal for your body to eventually get used to any medication, in a certain dosage, that you have been taking for a long period of time. This means you should consult your doctor, as you may require a medication dosage adjustment, or a switch to a different medication.

I have been on this medication for three days and I am experiencing the worst stomach pains. Has anyone else ever experience this? ## Stomach cramps is a side effect of this RX but its a less common side effect. I have a few stomach cramps but I find that it goes away if you snack on something before and right after you take it. It works for me when I have cramps. You may want to try it. =) ## Yes, you should definitely try to avoid taking this on an empty stomach, like Kristina suggested. But the FDA does list the common side effects of Doxycycline as possibly including nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

I'm on atorvastatin 20mg but recently 10 mg by doctors advice. I have very normal cholesterol, trigly, sugar etc. all normal. Except this left side chest pain. There are days, but not all the time that this is bothersome. Not really painful but it bothers me every time.

Does anyone taking synthroid know anything about muscle pains. i have been on synthroid for 30 years and recently i am experiencing very bad pains in my arms and I am wondering if it is related to the medicine ## Are you on cholesterol drugs...this sounds more like a side effect of the statin drugs to lower cholesterol. I have been taking synthroid for 10 years and have not had this symptom. ## I also have been on levothyroxine sssynthroid for a long period and also suffer sever arm pains in both arms ## I have also been on simvastatin fo a long time now and went off it do to kidney problems thats what iwas told by the dr. ## Are you on any other medications?

I've been prescribed Zipsor for spinal stenosis - and have taken one after lunch the last two days. By evening I have such intermittent heartburn and abdominal pain from gas. Finally looked up the side effects and who would think that gas would be a side effect. I want to keep taking the pills as they help but the gas pains are awful and the heartburn too. I rarely have heartburn so its too coincidental that it happens after the Zipsor. Any ideas on how I can still taking it and avoid these side effects? ## Zipsor contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and all medications in this class can cause these types of excess stomach acid issues. Have you consulted your doctor? It may be necessary to use something to reduce the amount of acid and...

I had a hysterectomy a couple weeks ago and a week later had a blood clot in my right calf. I was prescribed Xarelto 2x 20mg a day. Two days later I had excessive abdominal bleeding. Was told to take only 1 pill for the next 24 hours, the bleeding didn't stop and I was told to stop taking altogether. After 24 hours no bleeding so I was told to start back up (this was just a couple hours ago). As of yesterday I have an intermittent shooting pain in my left upper leg, when it hits me the pain is so strong I almost fall to the ground...then it goes away. I have also gained 4 pounds since I started taking it. I hardly eat as I'm still on paid meds from my surgery so it sounds like this may be a side effect as well. Anything on this horrible leg pain I am suddenly having? It hasn...

I started metoprolol about 6 months ago, and after a few weeks on it, I started having pain in my upper legs (thigh area) and sometimes lower legs. I complained to Dr and they say it’s not from the med. I never had a leg problem and it’s getting worse. After sitting, when I get up my legs feel heavy and painful. Had anyone else had anything like this? ## Hi Jojo, Sorry to hear about your situation. Leg pain unfortunately isn't listed as a side effect of Metoprolol on NIH.gov or Medlineplus.gov. However, they do list swelling (inflammation) of the legs, which I believe in turn can correspond to pain. Source: [1] medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682864.html [2] ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMHT0011186 There are also a couple other popular discussion threads here noting the ...

Please help. I have abnormal periods, like some months i have it twice. Is this normal? And secondly, i have had pains, but recently i even felt like i had to vomit and nothing came out. Is this normal as well? I have clots but also less blood, and i went for a papsmere. It came back negative but there were 2 findings - 1) moderate blood & 2) moderate inflammation. Is this normal too? Please help. I dont really understand this but it hurts as we speak. I normally go for 5 days for my periods and spend 1 day in pain, but this time it's been 2 full days. I need help.

I started topamax 25 mg 5 days ago as a mood stabilizer. I gained 80+ lbs from previous ones and antidepressants. I had no side effects until this morning I woke up feeling nauseous. I haven't been able to smoke a cigarette at all today and my stomach has been in severe cramps since I ate a sandwich about three hours ago. I feel as though I could vomit. I also noticed I am urinating more frequently even though I haven't increased my water intake (I always drink a lot). My question is, is e weightless going to come as a result of this stomach pain and not being able to eat? Will the stomach pain subside? I'm supposed to go up to 50mg in two days. I guess I'll wait and see... ## Stomach pain isn't listed as a normal side effect. Learn more Topamax details here. You sho...

Perhaps one month after starting Xarelto, 20mg, I had developed a sore neck and knot in the mid knuckle of my right hand.

What are the side effects of Lisinop HCTZ? Do they include chest pains or tightness of chest? ## Here's the monograph page with side effect information: You should speak to your doctor about any type of reaction like this from any medication. There is a chance that it is just your body reacting to the drug and the lowering of your blood pressure, but it is best to get checked out and rule out other more serious problems.

I am on 200mg of gabapentin, 2weeks into it, keep getting heavy eye ache, plus temple pains , should be updoseing soon but ? don't rearly no ## Hello, Sue22! How are you? Those can be normal side effects of this medication, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight gain. Once you're on one steady dose for about a month, they should taper off and eventually go away entirely. If not, then you should inform your doctor as it may not be the right medication for you. Is there anything else I can help with?
