Extreme lethargy with Zoloft?
This is my 4th week on zoloft for depression and anxiety. I started with 25mg and am now at my prescribed dose of 100mg daily. I take it at night after my dinner.

Prednisone to alleviate shoulder pain?
I went to the emergency room with severe pain in my left arm. Turns out the dr thinks I may have a torn rotator cuff and prescribed a five day supply of prednisone until I see my orthopedist. Pain in my shoulder is practically gone now. Is that because the prednisone is masking the symptoms or... read more
Is it okay to start taking 5mg of Lexapro after taking 10mg of it for 2 days?
I’ve been suffering from anxiety and depression lately, so my doctor prescribed me 10mg of lexapro a few days ago. After just two days of taking it, I actually started feeling better! (Less anxiety, less self-defeating thoughts, more calm overall, etc.) The problem is that even before... read more

She is 46. Our first child just left for college and then marriage problems started. She works overnight in a high stress environment surrounded by men. Worried about her mental state, very mean and easily agitated. Lack of interest in anything.
Urinary Tract Infection - I thought I had a UTI. My doctor did a urinalysis and everything was fine.
But I’ve had them several times before and it hurts when I urinate. That’s my only symptom. No itching or dryness. And she prescribed me nystatin and triamcinolone cream to use together. And I don’t understand why? And it says topical use only. Can someone help me understand... read more
Will one missed dose of atenolol 25mg cause heart palpitations/skipped beats for days?
In the last few months, my doctor prescribed 25mg of atenolol per day to treat my high blood pressure, along with a low dose of buspirone to treat my frequent anxiety problems. In the first 2 weeks of taking the medicines, I experienced days and days of heart palpitations, which I'd never had... read more
Restarting Concerta 54mg, is 54mg too much to start out with? Or can they be safely split?
I have been on Concerta ER 54mg and went off for over a year. Now I'm restarting and still had a half bottle from a year ago that I brought to my appointment with my GP. He's not the one who prescribed it. I don't think he's comfortable prescribing it so he told me to just start... read more
First time taking buspirone, what should I expect?
My doctor just prescribed me buspirone 7.5mg (1 and 1/2 5mg pills) 2x daily, and Xanax .5 mg as needed (I can only tolerate about a quarter of one of the Xanax if I wish to stay awake.) I am very underweight, (which we are also working on) so medications, particularly psychiatric meds, tend to hit... read more

I was recently prescribed Buspar (buspirone) for extreme anxiety and panic attacks.

I am still struggling with... read more
Seroquel/quetiapine - does it cause long QT with fluconazole?
The doctor that prescribed me the medicines knew I was on 100 mg of Seroquel a day for sleep. This is a relatively low dose and he prescribed me fluconazole 150 mg twice first day, then once daily for two weeks. I read online it is possible to cause long QT syndrome but the doctor wasn’t... read more
Taking Xanax a day after drinking three to four beers?
The doctor prescribed me Xanax for my anxiety, and I haven't used any in 2 weeks. Me and a buddy of mine went drinking yesterday and I had three to four craft beers, they were pretty strong and I got hammered. 24 hours later I took .50 mg of Xanax, I know I'm probably ok but I'm... read more
Can valacyclovir be used for a cyst or infected lump?
My boyfriend of over 2 years has had occasional problems with a "cyst or lump" on his upper thigh/groin every 6 months or so (so he claims) and recently I found an empty prescription for valacyclovir knowing that could be the only thing that he was prescribed for it. I am very scared he... read more

My dentist prescribed me Acetaminophen codeine #3 tablets, I am to take one tab every 8 hours. I took my first one over an hour ago and have no relief. It is for my serious cavity/headache pain. I have read for some people this med doesn't work.
Can a doctor write 3 different Adderall scripts In a months time?
My new doctor just started me back on 30mg Adderall twice daily. Bad effects and about 10 days later he then prescribed me 30mg XR twice daily. I needed a PA request but it was approved. Now about another 10 days later. Would it be reasonable or OK for him to prescribe me 20mg 3 times a day. I... read more
