Question 1

is it ok if i take sam-e and 5-htp together?

Accepted Answer

Probably safe but...: There's no research on this but it's probably safe to take these together, in fact I'd expect a synergistic benefit. SAMe appears to increase serotonin levels; 5-HTP does that too so theoretically one might raise serotonin too much, but this is unlikely unless very high doses are taken. I would not start both together but take one for at least 3 weeks, then add the other, starting with low doses.

Question 2

should someone take oxyconde, tramdol&hydrocodon together for pain?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Pain management can be very challenging, and often, chronic pain pts take a long-acting opioid with short-acting rescue narcotic, to control symptoms.  Please schedule appointment with pain specialist, and get fully educated regarding the specific strategy.

Question 3

could i take 3 medicines together?

Accepted Answer

Usually: Most medications do not cross react.  Your prescribing doctor should know all you are taking to avoid giving you a problematic medication.  The pharmacist commonly will detect such problems.  Mostly they are uncommon.

Question 4

can you take prostrex and floamax together?

Accepted Answer

YES: the former is a "natural supplement" and should not interfere with a Prescription medication Floamax HOWEVER such "interference" has been described with so called "natural" products and accepted medications! Check it out with your Urologist or PCP!
Hope this helps

Question 6

Question 7

can i take neurotonin and 5htp together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They should be safe to take together in standard doses.

Question 8

can i take midol and buckleys together ?

Accepted Answer

Why bother?: The otc cough and cold medicines are proven to be ineffective and may prolong your illness, make you feel worse while youtake them and increase your risk of secondary bacterial infections, like ear infections and pneumonia.  It's not like Buckley's tastes good, either!  http://tinyurl.com/osmaxzo
Coldeeze Lozenges do work well, but you must take them around the clock or you are wasting your time.

Question 9

can i take zipsor and melaxicam together?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: The two medicines can increase your chance of gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney damage and much more. I would not recommend it!

Question 10

can i take zrytec and aerieus-d together?

Accepted Answer

Better not: If you have uncontrolled symptoms with either alone, another agent may be needed. Aerius d, (desloratadine and pseudoephedrine combo)  should be taken regularly as prescribed to see an effect, zyrtec, (cetirizine) is OTC, the component is similar less the decongestant pseudoephedrine. Check with your doctor, for more comprehensive evaluation see an allergist/immunologist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist
