Question 1

what happens if the valves in the veins of the legs stop working?

Accepted Answer

One possibility: is varicose veins.

Question 2

can domperidone before every meal make the stomach "lazy", then when the treatment stop, the stomach stop working properly?

Accepted Answer

Med side effects: That is quite possible. It's not that the stomach muscles are "lazy". It just takes time--and each person is different as too how long it will take to restore normal gut movement and function. It's also possible that the condition you were being treated for still exists, or is perhaps only minimally better. I strongly recommend consulting with a gastroenterology specialist.

Question 3

how many yrs do it take for an antidepressant to stop working? i am really worried because i am in my 20 's now and taking it for anxiety.

Accepted Answer

Medication duration: Everyone is individual and how they respond to medications is individual. Many people stay on the same antidepressant for years without becoming tolerant. Other people have to change frequently. There are a lot of medications out there. There is no reason to think one of the others won't help just as well. Keep working with your physician.

Question 4

can klonipin (clonazepem) will stop working?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. : Clonazepam (klonopin) is a benzodiazepine, and the body can build up tolerance to this medications over time. This is similar to how the body can build up a tolerance to alcohol over time.

Question 5

when should i stop working while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Can work until end: Unless you develop a condition such as high blood pressure or preterm labor, most woman can work until the end of their pregnancy.  Some woman have jobs which require heavy lifting or other physical activities and may need to modify their job duties towards the end.  Usually your doctor will let you know if you need to stop working, but you can always ask if you are concerned about something.

Question 6

could zoloft (sertraline) stop working?

Accepted Answer

Zoloft (sertraline) can poop out: Yes. It is an interesting antidepressant. I find that it works for a while at one dose, and that the dose may need to be increased several times during treatment because of depression breakthrough. Sometimes it stops working altogether and then this is the tie that your psychiatrist will really earn his or her money coming up with a new treatment regimen which may still include zoloft (sertraline)..

Question 7

can my anti-depressant stop working?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unfortunately this is not at all anuncommon event. It is the bread and butter of psychiatry. When one antidepressant fails to work, it is our job to come up with another antidepressant or combination of medications that will bring the persons mood back to normal. Please consult with a psychiatrist on this. I think once this has happened this is beyond what most family practitioners are comfortable dealing with. Best wishes for a blessed holiday season.

Question 8

do sleep aids like tranquil stop working over time?

Accepted Answer

Sleep problem: I understand your desire to have good sleep.
Sleep aids like Tranquil Nighttime Sleep Aid usually have Benadryl (diphenhydramine) in it
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not a medication for sleep problem. It causes drowsiness which may help with natural sleep. After few weeks it is not beneficial.
We were born with natural instinct to sleep
Do music and breathing relaxation.
Trust your body and mind when it needs rest and sleep.

Question 9

at what stage do home pregnancy tests stop working?

Accepted Answer

Stage of what?: I'm not sure what you mean.... at what stage of pregnancy?  Or what stage of expiration date of the test?  A urine pregnancy test will be positive all the way through a pregnancy and sometimes up to 3-4 weeks after delivery.   As for expiration date, I would trust a test the most prior to it's expiration date, but it's likely it's still accurate for 6 months after.

Question 10

can a joint stop working if you don't make enough lube?

Accepted Answer

Joint fluid: Yes. The present of both adequate amount of joint fluid ("lube") and intact joint cartilage are necessary for proper and normal joint motion. I am not aware of any specific medical condition in which the body does not make enough synovial (joint) fluid. The usual problem is that the cartilage gets worn and the joint fluid is not adequate to ensure smooth motion over a very rough joint surface.
