You Were No Help

I am extremely underweight and skinny. I am a female aged 25 years and weigh 45kg. Pls help. I need a drug/medicine I can use to add weight fast as I am so sick of hearing that I am too thin. ## Gabapentin!!! It is an anticonvulsant. Ask your doctor and google it. People always gain weight when they take it. ## An anticonvulsant medication like Gabapentin should probably not be used for it's potential weight gaining purposes only, just because others have said that they gained some weight while taking it. For all we know, they could've also changed their diet and/or lifestyle while they were taking that medication; leading up to an extra few pounds. I'm not saying that it wont help you gain any weight, but the bottom line is, if you want more control over your weight (throug...

Hi this is my first pack of sprintec I take my pills at 11:00 everyday and never missed one and I'm on my 3rd white pill but still haven't started my period I also had unprotected intercourse on the 7th day of starting this birth control .. I don't know if I should take a test or just wait it out ??? Help ? Please ? ## Hello, Buttercup09! How are you? Did you start the tablets the first day of your period or at another point in your cycle? If you started on the first day of your period, then you were immediately protected, but if you started them at any other point in your cycle it would take a full 7 days for them to become effective to prevent ovulation, so it wouldn't be safe to have unprotected intercourse until the 8th day, or later.

Best easiest dr's in knoxville tennessee that prescribes adderall or vyvance ## What type of condition do you need treatment for? ADHD, narcolepsy or something different? Learn more Vyvanse details here. Learn more Adderall details here. That would give everyone a better idea of which direction to point you in. ## I know there are a lot of people out there that use Adderall as a study drug , to get the rush etc. But some of these questions are crazy. This is what gives Adderall I bad rap. I was diagnosed with ADHD and I am an adult that has always had problems and just thought It was me. After being prescribed Adderall it finally felt normal if I even know what normal is. I guess I can put it as I am finally were I feel like I can accomplish something. It is really hard to describe ...

how do you get your child off of roxy's.....without withdrawals ## I'll be honest, I had no idea children were allowed to be prescribed such a horrible drug? Some precautionary guidelines I just found state the following: "Giving Roxicodone Oral to a child under 12: Relative Contraindication: MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EFFECTS AND ADVERSE CNS EFFECTS, RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION." Referenced from: As far as withdrawal effects go, usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them. In any case though, I think if you were to b...

I found a half pinkish peach color pill with it looks to be an N on one side and part of a 0 on the other. I need to know if my daughter is taking drugs. Please help... ## @bld123, Because you only have half a tablet, there are literally a ton of possibilities out there. However, I managed to come up with a short list of questions that may make searching for potential matches a little easier on those of us who are wanting to help: 1). Are you able to tell what kind of shape the pill is? 2). Are you able to tell if there was a score line that divides the pill perfectly in two? 3). Where was this pill found? 4). Does your daughter have any medical conditions that she might take these pills for? 5). Has your daughter been caught taking illicit drugs in the past that weren't prescribed ...

I am on 2mg of dilaudid 4 times a day. that doesn't help anymore so i went to taking 2 of the 2mg at a time and that didn't help so i went to 3 of the 2mg and still no help. i don't really want to go up anymore especially without an ok from the doc. is there anything else out there that would help? ## You really were taking a big risk going up that much, without your doctor's approval and supervision, since this such a potent narcotic. Learn more Dilaudid information here. As to other options, there are some others on the market. You can learn more narcotic information here. Have you contacted your doctor about it, yet? ## I disagree that you took such a huge dose, I do agree that you should speak to your doctor first about it not helping. Chances are he would increase y...

How can I get my Dr. to understand I've built a tolerance to pain meds. Same dosage for 2 yrs . 80mgs of oxycontin and 30mgs of opana daily . I have severe osteoarthritis bursitis and fibromyaliga. Dr. says that's the maxi he can give me. Should I look for another pain Dr.?? ## What is the difference in the old oxycontin and the new?? How can I tell which I have? ## Gigi4121! How are you? The new Oxycontin tablets were reformulated to help make them more abuse proof and the old ones are no longer being manufactured, so it is fairly safe to say that if you've gotten them filled within the past year, you have the new tablets. 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 an...

I'm from pa but am visiting family in ohio. I ran out of my pain meds. I'm in a lot of pain. Is there l anyway I can get anything filled here? ## Due to the new DEA regulations that were put in place last year, it is very doubtful. Even if you have refills available on something, or a new written prescription, most pharmacies won't fill out of state prescriptions for controlled substances, because it makes it too difficult to validate them, if necessary. You could try going to an ER, but there is no guarantee that they will help you, either. Many of them won't touch chronic pain patients. Does anyone else have any ideas that may help?

I got a staff infection, after my cat scratched me. I went to the doctor right away because these horrible boils were popping up all over my body. I am now on my 4th prescription of antibiotics, back to back (different Kinds) The boils are still coming. I have scars all over my body. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to lighten the dark scars? What about Merderma? ## Where are the boils popping up? ## Mederma may help, many people have had good luck with it, especially if it is applied regularly, while the scar tissue is still relatively new. It's most common side effect is skin irritation. However, for the best results, I would suggest consulting a dermatologist. They would be the most qualified to help you reduce the appearance of boils, and scar tissue. What antibiotics ...

Hi I need help. Ive been getting regular and optical migrains since I was 19, I am now 45. About 6 months ago I sadly went to walmarts 60 mg inderal tablets to save as I am struggeling instead of my regular inderal 60 mg capsule LA that I have been taking most my life, but the past few months the optical migrains were happening every few days instead of say once a month or so. I went back to the capsules Oct. 17th almost 2 weeks ago and I am still getting the optical ones every few days. Yes there is a lot of stress in my life but there always has been. I even quit smoking its almost a year. I eat right some times not enough I am 5 7 about 130 and I exercise. My eyes were checked and found to be good. Why is this happening? Is it normal for the capsule to take more time to get back in m...

I have been on a variety of antidepressants over the last 7 years, most recently Cymbalta for the last 18-24 months. From Nov 2013 - Nov 2014 I had been taking 90 MG daily. While my dose increase from 60-90 MG helped at first, after a very short time my skin/face became horrible and no matter what I have done for the last year nothing has helped. But I stuck with it because I was mentally/emotionally feeling better. Then last summer/fall it had gotten to the point where I no longer felt the meds were helping me at all - in fact, I physically was feeling horrible majority of the time and I no longer felt any benefit of taking it (no energy, no motivation, nauseous, sick at times, headaches, horrible sweating and I was ALWAYS hot, memory loss and confusion) - so with my drs help I began t...

I dont when I missed dristan sinus medication from bei.g on the shelves, but I did. It worked like a charm. Then one my sinuses were out of control like now, and dristan was gone. What happened, why was it taken off the ahelf ## Are you referring to Dristan Nasal Decongestant? If so, it's probably very likely that the store you've been going to just stopped ordering them for one reason or another; as you can find Dristan Nasal Decongestant all over the internet, on Amazon, Walgreens, etc. If a store does not have something in stock, you can generally ask them to fill an order for you to pick up at a later date. In the meantime however, Amazon would be a good place to start if you're anticipating that you'll need it sooner than later. I hope this helps!

I took lorezapam brand Watson for 3 years 1mg 2 times a day now I feel it ain't working I get dizzy I get more of a panic attack so I decided to go to different pharmacy same brand but it works better and doesn't give me none of those side affects anyone can help ## Hello, Rigo! How are you? If it's the same brand and the same dosage, then it should affect you the same. Were you doing anything different before, when you experienced the side effects, such as eating differently, taking another medication or drinking alcohol? The FDA classifies this medication as a benzodiazepine. It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

I had a high lh value that was up to 14 for day 2 of my cycles, for the past 7 months. I have done one follicular study which was a fail, & now my lh is 14. The doc told me to take progynova 2mg for 30 days & meprate for the last 10 days of progynova. Is it lowering my lh? & one more question - Is it possible to get pregnant, if I were to have intercourse while taking progynova & meprate?

Hi. I am a 34 danish guy, who were on accutane, between the age of 18 and 25. Now, 16 years later, I am still suffering a great deal from psychological side effects from these horrible pills. I am very, very sure of that. And I am extremely motivated to go and collect as much "evidence" together as possible. I could probably list a total of 15 side effects, I still struggle with after accutane. Half of those would be psychological. The worst of those are, anxiety and a "numb" brain. People who have the same after accutane, knows what I mean about having a numb brain. Here is where I really need your help. I am looking for others, who have taken accutane and afterwards has struggled - and more importantly - still struggles with psychological issues. It would be a great help

My question is, how do I get my dr. To give me a higher mg.? I have really bad back problems and he gives me lorcet 5.5's. But they don't really help.

Any help? ## Just be honest with him tell him the 5's are'nt helping you anymore.I told my doctor my perk 10's were'nt helping me at all,she gave me 30mg roxies.Try it,all he or she can do,is ignore your request,i would try that,and if it did'nt work i would be finding me another pain clinic. ## What type of doctor are you seeing? If it's a general practitioner, then that may be the problem. They really aren't trained to handl...
