Can anyone tell me if their are doctors online who will rescribe xanax? ## I am sure you could find one, if you looked hard enough, however, since Xanax contains the active ingredient Alprazolam and is a Benzodiazepine, it is a controlled substance in the U.S. and having it prescribed in such a manner would still be considered illegal. In the U.S. it requires a doctor's actual examination/office visit to have these types of substances prescribed. Benzodiazepines can cause some serious side effects and are known to be very habit forming. Are there any other comments or questions? ## Xanax is Alprazolam, GEZZZZZZZZZ

Hello everybody I have a question that I was curious if maybe somebody can answer, I have been on 37.5 adipex once a day for three months and was wondering if I can get my refill today.Its five days early so i dont know if my pharmacist will refill it for me. I was wondering if anybody got a presription early without a problem.I know all states are different.I live in NJ. Thanks!! I finished my pills already thats why im asking. ## Hello, Hailey! How are you? How did you end up running out early? Adipex contains the active ingredient Phentermine, which does have some potential for abuse, so they may not fill it early for you. Learn more Phentermine details here. Your best bet is to check with your pharmacy.

PLEASE tell me if anyone has experienced chronic pain &for numbness,tingling ## Hello, Nell! How are you? Are you talking about taking it for those symptoms, or are you asking if it can cause them? Those aren't listed among the typical side effects, the FDA lists them as usually including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and blurred vision. It is an antihistamine that is used to treat allergic reactions and sometimes prescribed for its sedative like properties. ## I am on hydroxyzine 25mg. I started a day ago became i had some type of of rash and blisters that thought were related to my medication lamotrigine. But since I took it i have chronic pain in my thighs and legs. When to sleep and woke up to it. It feels deep inside. Any help?

I took Limbitrol DS in my 20's and I'm am now 46 yrs. I took it for major migraines and pain attacks. Now, going thru menopause and symptoms are returning along with Fibro, only sleeping 3 hrs a night ( currently taking Ambien which isn't working) Have not found a better medicine since. I have medical records from when I took it and showed multiple Dr.'s. Can't seem to find a Dr. willing to let me try it again. It was a Godsend back then. Who is currently taking and what type of Dr. prescribed it to you? A Primary Dr., Pain Mgmt, Pychriatrist, ???? I need to find a Dr. willing to help me. Thank you! ## Hello, Jenn! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're experiencing. I'm in perimenopause, myself, so I know how much of a pain it can be. I think t...

telmisartan/Micardis. Is there a ge eric drug available in Mexico? ## There may be, however, if you live in the US, have a valid US prescription and the medication is available in the US, then obtaining it from another country is illegal. ## I live in Mexico & am not concerned about US laws. I was asking about whether there was a generic available.

I was in one of the other forums and saw someone post about an Rx film cutting guide? I guess it's suppose to help you cut your Suboxone films into to small doses for tapering. Well its $5 to download and I wanted to get some feedback before I decided if I wanted to download it. Has anyone used this before and if so, how did it work? ## I don't have any personal experience with this, but I do know tapering is the way to go if you want to avoid most withdrawal symptoms. Out of curiosity I went ahead and ran a google search on "Rx film cutting guide" and came across the one you mentioned for Suboxone. The instructions make it seem like a simple process, so I have no doubt it's worth the 5 bucks if it saves you time and energy from withdrawal symptoms. Everyone is diffe...

If your family and girlfriend really d...

is this possible? I have read other forums where people said it isn't so much a problem of how much a person takes, but rather, why you are taking so much. any feedback much appreciated. thanks! ## Simethicone is used to treat the symptoms of gas such as uncomfortable or painful pressure, fullness, and bloating. Judging from the drugs indications, I don't think anyone would have a reason to go overboard on taking too much. I mean, once the gas and bloating subsides, there is really no reason to take more than you need. Side effect information I found states the following: When taken as directed, simethicone usually has no side effects. Also, the link below offers additional information on how this medication should be used and for what purpose: Furthermore, one can learn overtim...

Most folks that post on this and other forums either started on injections or started on gel and then switched to injections for various reasons. I am curious if anyone has switched back to gels after using injections and if so why? I am considered doing just this as even though my Total T numbers are higher with injections I believe I have more energy and focus while on gel. ## I haven't read any posts, so far, where someone said they'd switched back. However, what I can say is that you should do what's best for you. If you feel that you had better results on the gel, than you do on the injections, then by all means tell your doctor and ask them about switching back. Sometimes the hormone level isn't an accurate picture of the overall effect, as many of us ladies can te...

I've been searching these forums for the past few months, just soaking up as much information as I possibly could. This is my FIRST time actually posting, only in hopes to let others know my story of coming off suboxone so far. I see soooo many horror stories and not very many good stories. I know it scares a lot of people into staying on the drug for even longer because of fear of the painful drawn out withdrawal. The horror stories surely kept me on subs alot longer than I wanted to be on them. I am not discrediting anybody that has had an awfully hard time coming off this drug, it's definitely not easy both mentally and physically. But in my experience it hasn't been as bad as I imagined or have read about. I'll begin with a little background on my drug history. I sta...

I don't normally visit these forums but I was interested in experience generic escitalopram versus Lexapro. I find the generic works better than without anything but am thinking of trying Lexapro to see if it works better - I first started with lexapro a couple of years back so I just don't remember. I am concerned there are so many comments about generic escitalopram having bad side effects - given they both have the same chemistry, it does not make sense to me ## I had been taken the generic lexapro and it just didn't work. My depression came back, I was having suicidal thoughts, my anxiety returned and was becoming very OCD again. Even though the generic brand is free, I have decided to take the brand name Lexapro. I am feeling much better now, even though I have to pay $...

Hello Everyone, I have posted in other forums, not knowing where to post my story, to get answers and suggestions. I have been on morphine, over the last 10 years, at least. My primary, who has closed her practice, suddenly at the end of 2012, intensified my Morphine up to 300 mgs a day. But, when she disappeared, I saw an Internist, another lady doctor, who was just as caring, listens well and takes her time with her patients. This doctor, who was my doctor for a year, suddenly disappeared too, with no one telling me, until the day I called, my appointment day. She was concerned that the Morphine, was no longer working for my severe, day & night time pain. I was diagnosed with MCTD, (Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, which includes Lupus, RA, Scleroderma and other associated illness...

Hello, I have been reading all kinds of forums regarding opiate use, withdrawl, and suboxone. I'm ready to jump in now to be able to have others to support me because, honestly, I'm a closet addict, no one knows my addiction but myself, very sad but true. Some history, I'll try to be short and simple...... I had a car accident in 2007 which wrecked my back, I'll never forget, that's the day I took my first, hydrocodone. It was not a big deal then, 30/month I was good. Well then I got pregnant shortly thereafter so I stopped with no problems, I would died before I took a chance with my daughters life or well being. Fast forward 9 months, c-section delivery, then I was introduced to my first ever oxy.! Wow what a feeling! It took years of one a day, then 2, then 3, fin...

There's been some confusion in the forums where people think this could be an Oxycodone tablet. This is actually a generic Ambien CR 12.5 (Zolpidem), NOT an oxycodone. I have it actually in my hand with the bottle. NDC Code 0781-5316. Inactive Ingredients: - Silicon Dioxide - Hydroxypropyl Cellulose - Hypromelloses - Lactose Monohydrate - Magnesium Stearate - Polyethylene Glycols - Ferric Oxide Red - Talc - Titanium Dioxide ## Hello S, You're absolutely right. The pill imprinted with 229 and SZ is listed by the NIH as a Zolpidem tartrate pill. I just wanted to clean up the post a little so the information you provided was a bit easier to read and I added a little information as well.

Hi, I've read these forums for years now and have never posted anything myself but I am in a panic. I have been taking 30 milligram oxycodone 4 times a day for 5 years. I had two major back surgery is and I'm not eligible for a third one due to scar tissue at the surgical site. Every month I swear to myself up and down that I will never run out of these pills again and every month I run out. Well this month it's been the worst I have been taking 180 milligrams that's 6 pills a day for the last 3 or 4 days my prescription runs out on the 24th of this month and I have 12 pills left. My main question is can I start weaning off of it from 180 milligrams down to one pill a day which is 30 milligrams or is that just too drastic of a cut. Also I'm seeing my doctor on Friday...

FOR ALL THOSE WHO VISIT THESE FORUMS 2016 has been a year most would like to forget with federal guidelines and compassionate medical provider's at a minimum. Unfortunately for those regionally affected by further restrictive mandates (primarily in the northeastern USA) 2017 promises more of the same. During this time of uncertainty for so many, empathy, compassion and understanding can only help lift the spirits of those often filled with fear, confusion and even desperation.... I'm not sure what the answer is but when parties unite in solidarity very few goals are unattainable. May god (or whomever you worship) keep us close to his heart and bless us all in the years to come.

I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself on these forums. My name is Dan and I'm a social worker and I do mental health research. One of the issues that I see come up time and time again, but that is rarely openly discussed in my field, are the positive and negative effects antidepressants can have on sexual health. It's an area I'm researching more now, but am hopeful to converse about the topic here in an effort to learn more myself and to hopefully share some of my research/knowledge/projects too. ## You are welcome on this site, but anti depressants are not good. They've caused more problems than just sexual health. Just like all meds that the government thinks they have to regulate these should be. Instead they think the answer is to let them control what ...

I was handed a prescription for PROLIA, and after doing my own research and reading these forums I will NOT go down this avenue and suffer RISK & CONSEQUENCES with this drug....MORE NEGATIVE VS POSITIVE FEEDBACK !!!! I WILL seek out an experienced NATUROPATH for osteoporosis treatments. From what I gather.......Vitamins & Minerals in correct proportions go a long way.........To those reading this and suffering from the effect of having introduced this PROLIA to your system....... THERE ARE ** ALTERNATIVES** GOOD LUCK TO ALL. ## Hello, Kristine! How are you? Thank you for your very helpful post. Yes, there are alternatives. However, before pursuing natural remedies, which may take awhile to work, I do want to caution everyone to please consider the severity of your condition. Tho...

Hi I'm writing this because of everything I was reading about suboxone on forums. Most of this was very negative and it freaked me out before I got on the stuff. My story may not be a help to those who have been on suboxone for many years because getting on it I knew that this was something I wasn't going to try to prolong, so it may help those who are about to get on suboxone. About my situation. I'm a disabled vet who was prescribed pain meds for six years, like most what started as normal quickly turned into higher doses and stronger meds as they no longer worked, at the end I was just taking them to not feel sick and couldn't go more than three hours without starting to get the sweats, this got old. My dose was about 10 30mg oxycodone and 4 60mg oxycontin daily give ...
