Dr. Pamela Pappas's answer:

Can vitamin B12 help alleviate depression or dementia? In brief: Possibly

If the person has a reversible dementia related to low levels of vitamin b12, then replacing vitamin B12 could help.

Together with folate, (folic acid) B12 has also been implicated in some cases of depression. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15671130.

Dr. Christopher Bojrab answered:

Could anorexia ruin the ability to get pregnant and have children? In brief: Yes

Anorexia can cause one's body weight to drop below the point at which your body can "divert" enough energy for the metabolic work of preparing the body for pregnancy.

If the anorexia is severe enough and long lasting enough this can become a permanent problem.

I would like to know more about provigil. I have sleep apnea and stay tired while at work.? In brief: Usually effective

Like all medications Provigil (modafinil) works better for some people than it does for others, and there are some people for whom it may not work at all.

However, in my experience, it has been a highly effective medication for most people with excessive fatigue. It is indicated for excessive sleepiness caused by sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and shift work, but it is used off label in many ways. ...See more

Dr. Christopher Bojrab answered:

What are the uses of "doxepin"? In brief: Depression, Anxiety

Doxepin is an old antidepressant that is infrequently used for depression because it can be very sedating.

It can also be used for anxiety or sleep. Additionally, it is one of the strongest antihistamines on the planet and can be used for severe allergies (though this is infrequent as there are other meds that work well and have fewer side effects). ...See more

Are there any symptoms of water poisoining? In brief: Yes

Water intoxication can occur if one drinks so much water that they dilute important minerals like sodium, potassium, chloride, etc in the blood to dangerous levels.

This can cause mental status changes, confusion, sedation, seizures, and death. People with healthy kidneys would need to drink an enormous amount of water to do this. This is seen more in psychiatric patients who drink water obessivel. ...See more

Dr. Christopher Bojrab answered:

Is there a good generic alternative to vivelle-dot? In brief: Yes

Generic versions of medications are usually fine, but they are not identical.

The fda allows for a modest degree of difference in "bioequivalence". Essentially, a generic medication is allowed to be sold if it is between 80% - 125% of the brand name medication. Most generic medications are fine for most people, but there is always some percentage of patients for whom they are different. ...See more

Dr. Christopher Bojrab answered:

Tiagabine or gabitril: can you get high like feeling? In brief: Sort of

Gabitril or tiagabine is used as an adjunctive (add on) medication in the treatment of partial seizures.

It has also been used "off label" for anxiety and pain symptoms, but the fda warns that for patients who do not have seizures, the use of this medication may actually cause a slight increase in the risk of having a seizure. It can make some people feel altered, but should not cause a "high". ...See more
