I have been taking this medication for quite a while and I believe my minor thyroid problem is under control. I have read and been told that this perticular medication can give you extra energy and weight loss. This is definately not happening in my case, in fact just the opposite. I have never felt this was due to medication though. An acquaintance told me that my medication would work in this manner if I took it at least one hour prior to taking my other medications and vitamins or drinking anything ie: coffee, tea, juice, etc. Could this be true and my doctor has just been remiss in relating this info to me, or have I been remiss in reading the RX insert? ## Well the basic point here is it says it can or may do that, it does not say that it will do that, which means that it works to ...

My physician placed me on a 15mg dose of Mirtazapine beginning with just a 'half' dose for the 1st week. I tried this dosage for 2 nights and ended up having 'heigthened' throbbing and 'restless-like' syndrome of my entire body-especially the right side. I have Fibromyalgia, Renauds' syndrome and have suffered from years of sleep problems. I have been on varying doses of Elavil over the last 12 yrs but this no longer helps. I do suffer from mild depression, mostly due to work stresses but I have been on a medical leave since July 11'05 post rotator cuff surgery. Tonight I will be trying Ambien- 5mg dose. The claim that Mirtazapine is used to treat 'tremors' is contradictory in my case-seemed like it was causing mild tremor-like throbbing with my l...

Has anyone heard of this diet pill or used it - was it any good? ## Phenphenidrine is a supplement, they claim it helps with weight loss, but this is, of course, not proven. This product contains: Caffeine, Hops, Raspberry, Ginger, Phenylethylamine, Synephrine, Evodiamine, Sclareolide, Dimethylamylamine and Yohimbine. Has anyone actually tried this product? ## I bought this product from a seller on ebay. The label on the bottle looks like something that was printed up on a home computer and the label was affixed by hand because it was crooked. Also, the label says liqui-caps and these were NOT liquicaps but caps filled with a tan looking herby powder. That being said, it was an effective product, after using one bottle. I took 2 pills before a workout and I could definitely feel a lift ...

Diagnosed with Ahlers-Danlos Syndrome almost 12 years now... I have chronic pain everywhere as all my joints are bone on bone. Without going into detail... I was made to stop working and am on Medicare. I have a Medicare part D plan. I just sat here writing an explanation of how that works and how I can’t afford the now $498.00 a month co-pay that I would have to shell out…. But I erased it... My main objective is to get my prescriptions filled by a pharmacy... in any Country... for a reasonable price I am not a junkie... I have been taking 80mg a day for 10 years now; It is the only drug that actually allows me to function and feel like a human. Is there anyone out there who knows of a pharmacy that I can send my scrip’s to who wi...

I pulled a good one. My RXs were not in sync; one for extended release one week and the other immediate release the next. So I'm out waiting and going through hell. All because I let my pharmacy only give me enough for 3 weeks. Now they say they can't give me the ones they kept. I really didn't know it was going to be that way. Has anyone ever had this happen? ## Yes, that is normal pharmacy policy for controlled substances. You'll need a new prescription from your doctor to get the rest, or to wait until your next fill time. The FDA classifies this medication 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 else I can help with? ## It just...

Can someone tell me what HCL means after the Rx name? ## HCL is the chemical designation for hydrochloride. Hydrochlorides are salts resulting, or regarded as resulting, from the reaction of hydrochloric acid with an organic base. Many drugs are synthesized in this manner, and it is very common for it to ba part of a drugs name.

Help. I have antiphospholipid antibody syn (aps), sjogrens, small vessell vasculitis, and multiple genetic clotting disorders. I have never felt that 200 mg twice a day of plaquenil has helped me much--been on it 8 years or so. I also take 10 mg prednisone coumadin, and lots other rx. Is it possible I need more plaquenil--like 300 or 400 mg twice a day? I'm dying to know if I could feel better. Nancy ## Have you discussed it with your doctor? From the drug information, it does appear that it can be used in dosages up to 600mgs a day, which would be evenly split at 300mgs twice a day. However, you really do need to discuss it with your doctor, because your full medical information and other medications must all be taken into account, before making any medication changes.

Plainly stated, opinions vary on the top 5 list of popular Rx's. Xanax alone will after a time become habit forming and difficult to stop. Hydrocodone alone has similar properties. Possibly the most abused combo out there. Clonazepam is safe, and does not have the synergistic sedation of hydrocodone and Xanax. ## Hello, Kim! How are you? I'm sorry, but actually Clonazapem can cause the same types of issues with narcotics as Xanax, it is also a benzodiazepine, so it increases sedation, just like the rest of them do. All of the medications you've mentioned are known to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, drowsiness and dry mouth. Are there any questions or concerns? ## I currently take hydrocodone 10/325 QID and only at night t...

I was diagnosed with Shy-Drager Syndrome and put on .5mg of Mirapex. You all know the cost and the doctor assured me a generic was available at a reasonable cost. Walgreens wanted $231, Walmart wanted $216, purchased at Cosco for $23 for 90ct. of .5mg. Buyer beware did not have to go to Canada . ## Mirapex is manufactured by Boehringer Ingleheim and, for anyone without insurance or with limited Medicare coverage, they do have an assistance program called RX Hope, if you qualify you may receive your medications for free or for a lower charge, based on a sliding fee scale. You can contact them for more information on how to apply at: 800-556-8317. Are there any other questions or comments?
