What Side Effect For This Medicine High Dosage

My lorazepam was just inceased to 8mg. Can the recent increase cause side effects such as severe back pain and pain under the right breast in a person who has osteroporoseis who previously had minor side effects and is consuming adequate calcium ## Hello, Lindamann! How are you? Yes, it has been known to cause such symptoms, as side effects, in some people that take it, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, irritability and headache. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. It is best, however, to have it checked out by your doctor, to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is Activision and watson the same lorazapan? I was taking watson for years then they snuck in activists. I haven't slept and I'm always yelling at my husband. T...

Our 17 year old is taking 54 mg of Concerta 1x a day. The past few weeks she has been/had weepy, irritable, dizzy, headaches, increased sweating, trouble sleeping and loss of appetite/nausea. She spikes with extreme anger and just seems to be much more agitated. Are these symptoms of her dose being too high? She has been on this dosage for over a year? Concerta has been given to her for almost 2 yrs. Thanks! ## Hello, Jennifer! How are you? Yes, it could be, unless you have reasons to suspect that she may be doing some other type of drug. Another alternative could be hormonal changes, she is at the right age for another shift in them to occur. Has her doctor been consulted?

My relative was taking xanax in a low dose. He said his physician increased the amount to 300mg. We think he is mistaken about the dosage amount. What are the available dosages for xanax and what is the highest dosage? Thanks ## 10 mg ## Hello, Bea! How are you? The highest available dosage of Xanax is 2mgs in the regular release up to 3 times a day and 3mgs in the time released formulation. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take 0.5mg Xanax a day and was advised that there is a higher dose of Xanax. I was told there is a 1mg dose which is stronger than the 0.5 mg. Could you please let me know so I could talk to my dr about this? Thank you.

This tablet reduces body weight by removing water from body. I have lost 12 kgs in 8 months with dosage of one tablet per day in morning. Are there any other side effects apart from this?. ## Hi, Mohan! This medication is actually not intended to be used for weight loss. It contains Losartan, which is an ARB that's used to help treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, as well as Hydrochlorothiazide, which is the diuretic that helps remove excess fluid. And yes, there may be other side effects, it is processed through the liver, so there is a chance that long term use could cause liver damage. You may also experience dizziness and nausea due to your blood pressure going low. An even bigger concern is dehydration if you're removing too much fluid from your body. L...

i was on 40mg of lexapro. they put me back to 20mg. they said 20mg is the max/ i took it for 1 yr already ## I was at one point on 20 mg of lexapro wich is the highest dose available. I was going thru a clinical depression and it also helped with nerve pain....it did wonders for me. I went thru a rough time because of spine surgery. Did your Dr make you take two 20 mg pills? Something does not sound right about that?! That is an extreme dose. ## Yes, that is correct, 20mgs is supposed to be the maximum prescribed dose, because studies haven't shown any additional benefits when it's taken in higher amounts, but doing so could cause more severe risks, and side effects. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Lexapro as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, m...

What are the known side effects of Enzomac forte tablets? Can taking it twice a day cause clotting and bleeding in female patients? ## From what I've read, Enzomac is usually well tolerated. Although some people may experience a harmless alteration in the consistency, color and odor of their stool. A sensation of bloatedness, flatulence, and feelings of nausea are also possible when administering a high-dosage. The manufacturer states that this can essentially be avoided by taking it in divided doses during a day. Where did you hear about it causing clotting and bleeding in females? As far as dosing goes, the manufacturer only seems to list instructions for the weaker version of Enzomac and not "Enzomac forte"; whereas 2 tablets of "Enzomac" taken three times a day (...

My doctor raised my lasix from 12.5 to 40 than raised my atenolol to 2 times a day along with my other meds, now my back hurts both sides by my kidneys, stomach and legs hurting, along with a headache. No appetite, just real thirsty. I have chf hpb, neropothy,diabetes ## Hi, Tim! Sorry about the problems that you're having. Those might be symptoms of dehydration, so the higher dosage of the Lasix could be too much for you. It contains the active ingredient Furosemide, which is a loop diuretic that's used to remove excess fluid from the body, but if you aren't taking in enough, or if it is removing too much, dehydration can occur. Learn more Lasix details here. How much fluid do you take in each day? With the CHF, are you on fluid restriction? Unless your doctor has given you...

I have Type 2 diabetes and at the moment have been put on to a course of SERC to try and help with vertigo which i have had for 5 months. When checking my blood sugar instead of a reading of about 7--- I am getting readings of 9.6. Is this caused by the SERC (betahistine). Is this the reason for the high blood sugar readings ## Hello, Maurice! How are you? It is possible, some medications can elevate blood sugar levels. Have you had this checked out, yet? It might not be the right medication for you, or the dosages of your diabetes medications may need to be adjusted to compensate.

my father takes the following medicine Oleanz RT 10(olanzapline), estopam-10(escitalopam oxalate tablets), cap. preganerve-m(Preagabalin with mecobalamin) he complains of heavy head and lays on bed all day.kindly suggest something to help in releif. ## Has he consulted his doctor? Generally, it's not recommended to try to treat possible side effects with another medication, because they all carry the risk of causing side effects, so you can just end up compounding the problem. The Olanzapine is an antipsychotic and it is well known to cause these types of side effects, so it may be the culprit. He really needs to speak to his doctor, because it may be too high of a dosage for him and he may require a switch to a lower dosage or a different medication. Both the Escitalopram and the P...

Will this pill cause halucinations? I keep waking up and seeing real life characters like cats or people, i ask them something and they disappear. ## Have you consulted your doctor? This contains Levodopa and Carbidopa. The Levodopa is known to cause some confusion and disorientation. It could be that it is having an adverse effect on your, or you may be on too high of a dosage.

My family member is taking this medicine and is having spells of being very spaced out, and forgetfulness, is this common? ## this is very common. i have no idea of his situation, but the dose may need to be bumped down to at least 2mgXR, or maybe a 3mg regular Xanax Bar. ## Alprazolam is the active ingredient in the medication Xanax, which is a name with which you may be more familiar. As Travis said, yes, those can be normal side effects, it could be that the person is on too high of a dosage, or they are just new to taking it, and their body isn't used to the medication. The FDA also wants that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, irritability, and dry mouth. How long have they been taking it, ...

I have been taking 3 x 10mg tabs of Deralin per day for over a month now & increased it to 4 x 10mg tabs Deralin this morning. All day I have felt incredibly sick. I wanted to know if anyone had any idea on how long the nausea will last as I can't afford time off from work.. Thanks. ## Hello, AJ! How are you feeling? Why have you increased the amount you're taking? From what I've found, Deralin contains the active ingredient Propranolol, which is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Deralin details here. Usually, the dosages are split up throughout the day, rather than all being taken at once, so that could help prevent the nausea that you're experiencing. The side effects of many of thes...

Same as above how many mg Percocet are usually taken for pain relief.What is a high dose and how often are 20 mg taken ## The highest available dose of Percocet, according to the FDA website, contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, so there is no 20mg dosage available in the U.S. Were you referring to just Oxycontin tablets? They are available in a 20mg dosage, but do not include the Acetaminophen and they're in a time released formulation. It is classified as a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. As to how much is taken, that may differ from person to person, depending on what dose best controls their pain and what dosage their doct...

I am advised by the doctor to take Tonact 10 for high Cholesterol. Now I have been taking it almost for a year. I sometimes feel weak and loose control of nerves. Is this kind of side effect? Should I discontinue? Still my Cholesterol levels are not very encouraging. ## this site is not medical professionals and even if we were, we could not properly advise you on what to do over the internet. That said, Tonact contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin and the side effects you are experiencing are normal for these Statin medications. For some people they are severe enough that they must stop or switch medications or have a dosage adjustment. You can also experience: muscle aches, joint pain and headache. You can read more here: Have you spoken to your doctor about this? ## I was advic...

I have a matroplol prescription I've been taken for a few months since I had a stent. I have been getting anxiety and my family doctor told me to double my dose from 50mg to 100mg. A week or so after increasing the dose, I've been experiencing dizzieness daily. Could the added motropolol be causing the dizzieness. ## Yes, it certainly could be causing it and it can do so in a few different ways. One could be if this dosage is too high for you and your blood pressure is going too low and the other could be just as a side effect of the higher dosage. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Have you checked your blood pressure recently? What have the levels been?

my dr priscibe me zempred 8 tab ,for sun burn please give some side effect for the prolong use ## Zempred contains the active ingredient Methylprednisolone, which is a CorticoSteroid. Methylprednisolone has some serious side effects if taken long-term, including weight loss, glaucoma, osteoporosis and psychosis, especially when used at high dosage. The most serious side effect occurs after the adrenal glands cease natural production of cortisol, which methylprednisolone will replace. Abrupt cessation of the drug after this occurs can result in a condition known as Addisonian crisis, which can be fatal. To prevent this, the drug is usually prescribed with a tapering dosage, including a pre-dosed "dose pack" detailing a specific number of pills to take at designated times over a s...

i have been on 12.5mg of ramipril each day for the past 2 and half years. We have now got a new doctor in our practice and he says that it is a too high dosage for me and now has put me on 10mg of ramipril and 5mg of amlodipine. Could the high dosage of rampipril caused anything to me, i have my blood pressure checked every three months and bloods done every six months or can it do anything to me in the future. ## That's actually not a really high dosage, it can go up to 20mgs a day for hypertension. Why did he feel it was too high of a dose, were your blood pressure readings low, while you were taking it? Next question, why is it only being checked every 3 months? Are you checking it yourself, at home? ## I have not had a bowel movement in almost 4 months. Have had every test known...

I was prescribed Baclofen to help with my alcoholism, ramping up to 5 per day. It made me drowsy - I literally fell asleep with a fork in my mouth. I could not walk a straight line, swerving when I tried. And my favorite - I peed the bed three times. I already can do these things when I'm drunk. ## Hello, Boz! How are you doing? It may be that you're on too high of a dose for your body. Dizziness, drowsiness, headache, and dry mouth can all be normal side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA, and the higher the dosage, the more severe they would be. Have you informed your prescriber? A lower dosage might work better for you and not cause such awful side effects.

Help! I've been taking Naproxen off & on for a complaint in my hands & they give me such awful stomach cramps & seen to cause me to be more tired & lose concentration etc that I stop taking them & just suffer the pain in my hands as its less bother than the aparant side effects from the Naproxen. Am I alone with this or does anyone else suffer? ## Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so the tiredness and etc. can be normal side effects, they are also well-known to cause stomach irritation, because they can cause the stomach to produce more acid. Have you discussed these problems with your doctor? How high of a dosage have you been taking? There are various solutions that your doctor may be able to help you with, such as lowering the dosage, using a diffe...
