Once the Jadelle has expired, it is no longer releasing the hormone required to prevent ovulation. Why has it not been removed? Are you using any other methods of contraception? ## My rod has been expire for close to 2 months n still in my arm how long will it take for me to get pregnant

Hey all. 31 male here. Prescribed Lexapro about four months ago for depression and PTSD. 5mg for a week, then 10mg for three weeks, now 20mg and sitting pretty. Here's the run down on what I've experienced: At first the obvious side effects included immediate 'fogginess' of vision and a strong sedative effect. If anyone's ever taken Molly it sort of feels like the come-on of that (with no peak obviously). That was the first few days. I also noticed an almost immediate drop in libido that has progressively gotten worse. Normally I'm a 'once a day' guy at least. Now I'm more like once a fortnight, and when I do get friendly with the girls, it can take up to an hour to climax (if I don't give up). The foggy vision and drowsiness has since cleared, bu...

I have been on Pristiq for a couple of years now beginning on 50 mg then up to 100 mg for depression and anxiety. I am now experiencing some difficulty with time. For example I may be creating a flyer to send out which should take 30 minutes tops but before I know it 2 hours have passed and I have no idea why it has taken me this long. I look at the document and it is definitely not 2 hours worth of work. It is really weird and very unsettling. It is happening more and more and my ability to rationalise seems to be getting worse. Went to dr today and his answer is to increase dosage to 200 mg. Any thoughts out there? ## That's very odd and not something I've seen noted in the medication or information, or from other users. Learn more Pristiq details here. It almost makes me wond...

would like to know the side affects with this drug ## This is commonly prescribed in the U.S. under the trade name Cosopt. It s used to reduce the pressure in the eye to normal levels and treat Glaucoma. Side effects may include: swelling or redness of the eyelids, light sensitivity and blurred vision. Do you have any other questions? ## My mother has had glaucoma for years. Her eyes sting with the use of Dorzol so the Dr. is having her try Istalol. I did some research on both and found them to be quite the same. Would you explain the most noticeable difference between Dorzolamide HC1/Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic and Istalol (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution)? ## Dear sir / madam, I 'm a chronic kidney disease, with a kreatinin of 3.88 and 64 ureum for around 1 year (as I know).

Hi friends. I’m prescribed 10mg of Ambien nightly. While in Mexico I decided to fill my prescription as not to have to rely on my Dr so much and to have extras when needed. For instance when I forget to get my US script filled in time or run out of refills and still need my Ambien to sleep. I got them at Farmacia Guadalajara in PV. The packages were closed and sealed. They are Stilnox 10mg. They’re white, oblong, and are imprinted with Stilnox on one side and scored once to break in half on the other side. They were pricey. $150 or so for 30 pills. They had us show identification, etc. I just need to know if these are a good brand? My main question is, if anyone else has taken Stilnox 10mg from Mexico, are my markings correct? Help! I don't want to take them if they coul...

Oxycodone in the instant relief form is much better than extended time release. Time release comes on at the wrong times and when you really need pain relief they aren't working. The doctor often prescribes norco for breakthrough pain. Why take 2 pain pills when you can just take the roxy IR and not be so hard on your liver. I've been on pain meds for 10 years. Good luck to all of people suffering from chronic pain like me!

In order to keep BP balanced, is it possible to take 2.5/10 capsules every other day? Thanks very much, Fred ## Hello, Fred! How are you? In order for it to work as intended, you should follow your doctor's prescribing instructions. Thus, if they've told you to take it daily, that is what you should do. If you're experiencing the symptoms of low blood pressure some days, you should inform your doctor, as you may need a dosage adjustment or to switch to a different medication. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dehydration and hypotension. Are you experiencing adverse symptoms? ## Thanks, Verwon, Not symptoms really, but this morning the reading was 99/44 and just now, after a bit of gardening, 103/50. ...

My Dr. Tested me today. I have been taking coumadin for over one month @ 5mg one day, then 6 for two, and repeating. My level was 300! That seems high to me as my goal was 200. My Dr. Told me he didn't need to see me for a whole month now, and I am concerned my levels will keep going up! Any feedback? Thank you! ## Hi Zena, If I had this concern I'd probably give my doctor a call about it right away, just to be on the safe side. However for reference, I did come across an article on PubMed that may help explain what prothrombin time levels are considered to be in the normal range. And apparently if you are taking Coumadin to prevent clotting, it is likely that your doctor will want your INR levels to be somewhere between 2.0 and 3.0 (I'm thinking this translates to 200 or 30...

my doctor prescribed 15 milligrams of Amrix with 5 refills. It has helped me tremendously! My lower back pain is work related ( I'm a Dental Hygienist),and retirement is not in the picture for a long time! Would it be safe to continue taking it? ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? As listed by the FDA, Amrix contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine, which is a muscle relaxant. You can take it as long as your doctor approves and deems that it is safe for you. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I thought that Miralax would work at least the day after. Thanks ## Sounds kinda strange, was it really runny and did you have to keep making trips? ## Hello, Rob45! How are you?

I have both Anxiety and Depression, tried several SSRIs that didn't work. Dr put me on Celexa 10mg beginning April 1st...he warned me it would be rough at first. THAT is the truth...

Could you please share your experiences with me about how long it took.

Today was my first day taking birth control ever I took the pill at nine this morning but I want to take it at night. Can I take it at seven tomorrow night? ## Ye, when you're just starting, it's really not going to make a big difference to delay the next one by a few hours. If you're on your period, because you started it the first day of it, it'll make no difference, at all. If you're not, because you started it at some other point in your cycle, then just be a little extra cautious and wait until you've taken 7 in a row at the new 7pm time, before risking unprotected intercourse. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No that was it thank you:)

I am taking antenolo for blood pressure. Lately my blood pressure has been below 100. It was at 85. I have also been cold. I stop taking the antenolo and blood pressure went up to 132/75 and my pulse was 98. Should I stop taking the antenolo. I believe I am taking it to lower my blood pressure. Thanks ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, and increased urination. Rather than stopping it, however, it would be best to speak to your doctor about perhaps adjusting your dosage, or trying a different medication. Is this the only medication you are taking?
