I have been taking Cmbalta for aout a year and have been experienceing a really bad, almost salty taste in my mouth for just about the same length of time. Has anyone out there had this same problem? My dentist says that there is nothing he can find, so I am hoping that someone can help me out. Please also let me know if you have experienced this same effect with other antidepressents. I take several and maybe it's one of those. HELP! I am just about at the end of my rope. Thanks to all, Paula ## Actually this is not really caused by the meds themselves, or any one in particular, it is caused by a very common side effect you experience from them. I was having a similar problem and thought it was a very odd side effect, then I started researching some info, and I discovered that the ...

I am having a very difficult time with acid reflux while taking tasigna. My doctor doesn't approve any of the acid reflux medicine as they are unsafe. Do anyone know of a safe and effective option? ## Hi Val, I agree with your doctor’s statement about acid reflux medications being regarded as unsafe, despite a drug company’s effective marketing tactics and 'happy-go-lucky' commercials advertised on TV. My dad was taking Prilosec for several months before eventually switching over to having green drinks and/or manuka honey w/ apple cider vinegar as a safer alternative to successfully counteract his acid reflux and heartburn (associated with esophagitis and having a relatively poor diet). So that may be something to taking into consideration... Just a side note: On...

I was diagnosed with Myeloma and AL Amyloidosis in May 2016.

I have a peach-ish colored bar. It has the R039 on it but doesn't taste like anything and I've never seen a xanax like this before. Its real skinny and an off-white peach color. I'm thinking its fake. ## Hello, Kim! How are you? There is on manufactured by Actavis that matches this description, they make both this and the brighter yellow one, which they list as containing 2mgs of Alprazolam. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

It is used for the short term treatment of insomnia. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, sleep actions, odd taste in mouth, and hallucinations. Liza, it would be best to consult his doctor to discover the root of the problem. How old is he? Is he on any medications? Does he have any diagnosed medical disorders?

Lately, I think my pharmacist has switched to the cheapest possible form of drugs as 3 of my medications have started to dissolve on my tongue prior to being able to swallow and they are very bitter. If they burn in my mouth they must burn going down my esophagus. I have a very serious case of Barretts and have to have EGD's with Biopsies every 3 months. I do not need anything else burning the lining of my Esophagus, how can I ensure my medication has a coating on it. My medications use to have a better coating or at least not start dissolving on my tongue prior to swallowing.The medications are Irbesartin 300mg, Amlodipine Besylate 5mg, and Pravastatin Sodium 20mg ## Hello, Linda! How are you? If they are starting to dissolve on your tongue, you might not be taking them correctly, ...

Taking 50mg of Methimazole daily for past 3 months. It seems like my symptoms are getting worse with anxiety, depression, and lack of sleep. (Hyperthyroidism) Can it be caused by Methimazole? Should I stop or continue taking it? Has anyone tried ThyroSoothe remedy? If so, can you please give me your honest opinions. Thinking of stopping Methimazole and trying ThyroSoothe. Any helpful advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ## Hello, Cindy! How are you?

I am getting countinuing pain in the just upper part of the stomach specially left side.Iam taking petacid hp as per direction of the well experienced gestroenterologist. But I am still not getting relief. and mouth taste comletly becomes uninterest.what should i do ?

I have taken thyroid medicine for most of my life, but just recently I have noticed that my Synthroid , 100 Mcg pill has a sugary, sweet taste to it. Why has this occurred, and what exactly is the reason for it? ## Hello, Einnor! How are you? Some manufactured use sugars or a sweetener in some medications. What are the markings on it? That would enable me to check the specific ingredients for you. However, you also should not be tasting your pill. If you're tasting it, then you're not taking it properly. The pill should be placed as far back on your tongue, as possible, short of choking on it and then immediately swallowed with water.

Can you take 5mg of ambien with Lyrica ## Hello, Jane! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but you should only take them if they have both been prescribed for you. The FDA lists the side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, funny taste in mouth, sleep actions, next day hangover-like effects and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am not a doctor so I don't know for sure . I am a 75 year old woman and I take 10 mg of ambien and 75 mg of Lyrica two times a day not to mention other medications and I am ok. My doctor gave me the medications but everyone is different.

Is this a 10 mg valium? Found a few small pills. Had no markings on one side and the other said 'tas' with 'fr' below.
