Question 1

Accepted Answer

No: There are a variety of drugs for OCD and it is very unusual to not be able to find one which does not cause stomach irritation

Question 2

can anxiety disorders (like social anxiety)cause misophonia?
or could it be a side effect of carbamazepine?

Accepted Answer

Yes and very rarely: Yes, I'd think it quite possible for anxiety disorders to cause extreme discomfort associated w/ sound and, 
That medications can cause irritability which would make you even more intolerant. Also, in very rare cases hearing oddities can be a side effect - i.,e. pitch perception, ringing, etc. Talk w/ the doctor about it. Best!

Question 3

how can i wean off keppra and convert to carbamazepine safely? i have been on keppra for 4months and am going to stop it due to its side-effect?

Accepted Answer

: Deal with this appropriately.  Let your doctor know about your adverse reactions and switch to a newer agent.  Carbamazepine is a poor choice and is far riskier than Keppra.   Rapid cessation of these drugs will result in seizures.  Do NOT drive!! No activities at heights, no power equipment!

Question 4

Question 5

take many meds like tegretol and prozac. i have very vivid dreams is this a side effect of seizure/anxiety meds? if yes why do the crazy dreams happen

Accepted Answer

It can be: Talk w/ your Dr about these experiences. Both your conditions and the medication could be involved and hopefully you can get back to sleep to avoid a deficit. There are various theories about dream content and none are certain. Brain activity responds to the electro-chemistry and it generates images that we can interpret   thru our life history. Talk about it and try not to worry.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No restriction: You can take these medication on empty stomach. Always ask your doctor about the side effects you may have and how to take your medication.

Question 7

is it normal to have stomach pain while taking tegretol for pain control?

Accepted Answer

No direct answer: You would not know if the tegretol was or was not the cause of your stomach pain.  See your primary care physician if you are having symptoms of stomach pain whether or not you are on tegretol.

Question 8

are there side effects with medications used to treat osteoporosis if they are injected instead of taken orally? do you avoid stomach upset, etc.?

Accepted Answer

Injectables are: less difficult on the stomach, and they also do not depend on gut absorption. so for many women the injectable bisphosphonate drugs like pamidronate for osteoporosis (amongst other things) are useful. the downside is that injectable drugs can seriously lover your blood calcium levels. The doc prescribing the medication knows this and you should have that monitored.

Question 9

It could be anything: it could be anything,
pain after shoveling, most likely is muscle pain .

the only relation between the two is stress.
you should be ok, relax, eat light food, like chicken soup, and crackers, and stay well hydrated.

Question 10

i have stomach upset, pain above the stomach sort of almost under the ribs, and a lot of pain up into my side ribs and left shoulder blade. it didn't come on suddenly, it sort of crept up overnight until it woke me up. it's a few times a year + now?

Accepted Answer

: Such complaints are common but can represent a potentially life threating condition such as a cardiac condition or heart ischemia from a lack of blood supply. These symptoms are often attributed to heartburn or stomach reflux which can be the cause of the complaints but immediate medical evaluation is required at least initially for a thorough evaluation and to rule out more serious conditions.
