Move

Moved to Tx. Have Fl scripts for hydro, had to fill one script in Oregon over Thanksgiving. I have severe TMJ chronic pain for 3yrs. I ended up taking 1 extra pill a day not knowing the cold weather made my TMJ WAY worse, so now I'm out of my pills. Found a GP in Tx, he wrote me a script for vic, 10 pills to help me till I can get my other Fl script filled again in Oregon over the Christmas holidays. Can I do this without problems? Thank you for your time :)

ok, I moved to south Florida to get what relief I could from the cold. now I am in the position of no dr. to be had, & pharmacist s(with their vast training) can actually refuse to fill your scrip. "their pharmacist s for Christ's sake". anyway, i need a doctor that will help me to deal with my pain issues. "in my younger days I broke, dislocated, split, busted, so on, so forth. very little was allowed to heal correctly. 30 years I'm paying dearly. I just need a dr. I'm not looking to make a living of of my scripts. just to get through my day to day. I am in key large Florida. can anyone help me out. I know absolutely no one, and have absolutely nowhere to turn. ## Hello, Manimal! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. Due to the new regulat...

Does "well woman original" cause loose bowel movements? I'm taking it with black cohosh as I'm menopausal. Multivitamins may also help. I am stopping black cohosh and taking another herbal supplement for menopause. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? With the iron in it, it is more likely to cause constipation, rather than diarrhea, as reported by the U.S. FDA. What other supplement are you considering and what menopausal symptoms are you trying to treat? Virtually any supplement that contains a high amount of magnesium can cause diarrhea, so you may want to watch out for that in the future.

In some states, private doctors can only prescribe it strictly for pain treatments, because they aren't trained in its use for addiction and other conditions. ## Email me {edited for privacy}, I'm having the same problem too, but maybe can help.

I have been on Linzess for 2 days and no movement, I think I am going back to milk of magnesia, I was using this and it worked great until my doctor put me on a water pill, and I told her I could not take them, they dried me out so bad and was so weak that I stopped taking them. could the water pill dried me out so bad that my lower colon is twisted. I am so upset. I take pain medicine. ## Hello, Footsie! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you been taking the Linzess on an empty stomach? For it to be effective, it can't be taken with food. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, abdominal bloating, diarrhea and heartburn. What pain medication do you take? Many of them can cause constipation, so it could b...

I'm a 24 year old male, not under any medication. The problem started after the day before yesterday's lunch. I've been having more frequent bowel movements low in consistency and is usually after every meal. I was running high temperature the same evening, that returned to normal after a good night's sleep. The only pill I popped in was a crocin before I went to bed that night. I havent consulted a doc yet. My normal bowel movement should be a 1 a day. Is there a tablet I can take? Pls make sure the tablet you recommend is available out here in Bangalore, India. Appreciate your help! Note: I have just 1 day's break before I get back to work :) ## Hello, Vivek! How are you? If it started after that lunch and the fever only lasted a short time, it might be a mild case...

Ive been using the estring for about 1.5 years. I'm happy with it as far as relieving itching etc. but lately it is uncomfortable and seems to move around when I move and just doesn't feel good when I walk. Any suggestions. I have a dropped uterus. ## Hello Cherie oh, Really the only advice to give in this situation is to talk about it with your primary care doctor or OBGYN. I'm glad that it relieves your itching but if it has become uncomfortable it could be caused by a physical change or something to do with the ring shifting. Only a doctor would really be able to give you a reliable and accurate answer. Good luck hope you get this resolved soon. ## You are not inserting it far enough. I used to have this problem too.

Hello. I'm a 26-year-old female, and I've had gastric sleeve surgery 1 year ago, and I've also had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago. I usually don't have a BM as often as I should; usually every 5-6 days. I have stopped taking my iron pills to see if that was the cause. So far there has been no improvement. I've been feeling very bloated in my lower abdomen, as if I need to have a bowel movement. I feel it especially when I lay on my stomach. It definitely feels like there is stool sitting in my lower intestines. I went to the bathroom and could not have a bowel movement. I got an enema bulb to see if I could free up some space to relieve the pressure. When I evacuated the water, no stool came out. Instead, stringy, brownish-yellow stuff came out. It had a fleshy, mus

Just moved to Phx AZ, please help with finding a dr or pain mgmt who will prescribe 5-10mg oxycodone & 3 hydrocodone a day as only this combination is successful in handling my severe pain for 3 yrs but my new pain mgmt here will not allow the 2 together!! thank you for you help, most sincerely ## Unfortunately, since in essence it is doubling up on the same class of medication, it's going to be very difficult to find a doctor that will prescribe both. Generally. a regular release, or instant release is prescribed along with a time released medication, but it is not common to be prescribed two regular release opiates. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry ...

I have seen the same psychiatrist for 5 years and recently moved to Hattiesberg, MS. My family doctor referred me to a new Psych, however when I called to schedule the appt the receptionist said that the doctor does not prescribe adderall or xanax. She told me that when she asked what current meds I take. REALLY....the doctor never even met me or reviewed my medical history. ## Michelle, If the meds are that important to you, ask your doctor to refer someone else. Tell him you don't feel comfortable with the first referral. ## You have no guarantee that a new dr will rx you the same meds you've been taking. Most drs aren't aware of what others dr rx. The reason you were told that the dr doesn't rx those meds is because you would be a new patient and they do that to cut d...

I severe anxiety disorder and have been on generic xanax for about 14 years (same dosage). I do not know of any physicians in this area and do not have insurance. Can anyone suggest a reputable physician that will treat not only the anxiety disorder but would also serve as my general physician? ## Hi Timothy, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately I'm not from that area so I don't know of any doctors I can recommend. However, there is a site called health grades.com that you might want to give a shot, it should help you to find specialists in your area (psychiatrists, physicians etc..). Also, I've had quite a long history of dealing with anxiety myself and I've found that the supplement holy basil works wonderfully! It's my go to supplement when I...

I was on the low dose Linzess and it wasn't working for my constipation. Now I'm on the higher dose but it is not really working either. When I finally had a bowel movement there was a lot of blood in the toilet. Has this happened to anyone? What would cause this? Anyone? ## Sue sometimes when your stool is hard from constipation it can tear your rectum and cause it to bleed. Because of the pressure in your rectum it will usually seal the tear. Watch out how hard you push the stool when you're constipated as it can cause a hemorrhoid. If you continue to have blood in your stool go see your doctor ASAP ## Years ago this did happen to me. It can be frightening to see that much blood in the toilet, but this can happen because of hemorrhoids. I took a diuretic that dried me out ...

My father has taken Zempred 8mg 1BD for a week. Then the same tab 1OD for a week. Then 1/2 a tab for a week. The same course was repeated after two months. Today my father has been experiencing symptoms of a 'frozen shoulder'. My father's arm cannot move in any direction. Plz advise me how we can alleviate this reaction? ## Hello, Abhishek! How is your father doing? You can't really 'remove' a side effect, so to speak. According to the U.S. FDA, this medication has been known to cause some problems with joints and tendons. If that is what he's experienced, it will require medical treatment, so he should return to his doctor for evaluation. Other typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and acne. Is there anything else ...

What is the best way to taper Clonidine and move to my doctors preferred high Blood Pressure medicine, Amlodipine (5MG 1 pill once a day)? I have been on Clonidine (0.1 MG 1 pill twice a day) for 6 days. Should I taper? How should I taper. Pharmacist thought I could drop Clonidine immediately and move to Amlodipine since I have been on Clonidine for only 6 days. I think my DR said to take one Clonidine and then later in the day one Amlodipine (or vice versa). For how many days I do not know. I will call the office in the morning for more instructions. I worry because I do not know if it was the Amlodipine that made my blood pressure spike so high and I do not want the same thing to happen when I drop Clonidine for Amlodipine Worrisome. I have purchased my own blood pressure machine. Wha...

I had a tooth pulled, and was taking norco 10/325, celebrex 100mg, xanax 0.5mg and amoxicillin at the same time at night for a week. One day I woke up turning my head to see the time and my head started to go into a spin. ## Any of these medications could cause dizziness as a side effect, it can even be worsened by taking them all together, according to NIH reports. Other side effects may include nausea, headache, diarrhea, and irritability. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change?
