Question 1

i take effexor (venlafaxine) and i'm scared when i get my annual physical for urine or blood test that i'll test positive for pcp, which i read online happens.

Accepted Answer

Won't happen: A lab result won't be usable against you unless it's confirmed by a second chemical principle. I'm glad you've found this medicine, which helps many people.

Question 2

could 225mg effexor (venlafaxine) per day cause seretonin toxicity?

Accepted Answer

Serotonergic Syndrom: Here's the strange thing about serotonergic syndrome - some people can experience with serotonin levels that aren't that high. Please let your prescriber know promptly if you are having untoward effects from medications.

Question 3

would toxic shock syndrome show up on a urine test?

Accepted Answer

TSS: No. Toxic shock syndrome is a constellation of symptoms. There is no specific test for it.

Question 4

is it possible to get a false negative on a zinc toxicity test? i had zinc, copper and lead testing done.  my zinc results in blood and urine were at the high end of normal.  my lead was negative but my copper results came back as low.  i have all of the

Accepted Answer

Any : Any test has a risk of being a false negative or even false positve for that matter. Heavy metal toxicity/poisoning is a very difficult issue, and has been a challenge for a lot of doctors. I recommend you consult a medical toxicologist. These doctors specialize in poison and metal toxicity. If you have already done so, i suggest a second opinion by another doctor in the field.
Good luck.

Question 5

i need to know if any of my medications can cause a false positive methamphetamine and amphetamine result on a urine screen.  effexor xr  hydroxyzine  prazosin  lunesta?

Accepted Answer

: Those noted medications were not on the list of drugs which can cause false positive urine test for amphetamine by Drugs.com.

Question 6

my urine has a foul, toxic smell an i don't know what could be causing it. it smells like chemicals. it's been going on for a month. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

An infection: Might represent an infection or medicine or vitamin eliminated with the urine. Any pain? If there is pain than is an infection. Any med introduced over the last month. If cannot clarify this way need a urinalysis, see a doc.

Question 7

can a person drink too much water in a day. i 'm aware too much in a short period of time can be toxic. after my urine is clear, does continuing to drink water have any benefit?

Accepted Answer

: You need to take in enough fluid value daily (in foods or drink) to pee every 6 hrs or so. Anything more is sometimes offered as good practice but I find silly. If you find making pee a good use of your time drink as much as you wish. There are a few health conditions that require constant fluid intake to avoid dehydration but these are rare.

Question 8

can lisnopril 5mg be taken to control bp. in 72 yr patient with paroxysmal afip and scr.1.7,b.urea37, urine protein is 0 , is it renal toxic ?

Accepted Answer

Relatively: Lisinopril may interfere with kidney function and I would be cautious in its use in the presence of a creatinine of 1.7. At the very least one has to follow creatinine and potassium levels(both may rise) closely even with a low dose of 5 mgs.

Question 9

can breathing in bleach mixed with urine for 5 hours cause cancer if in same room and small room with no window open? is it true it releases toxic gases that can cause cancer?

Accepted Answer

: One exposure like you described would not change your underlying risk for cancer.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 10

is dark urine only a sign of dehydrated kidneys or could it be a sign of liver toxicity? have been taking more muscle relaxers than usual & worried.

Accepted Answer

Likely from: Dehydration or medication and not from liver toxicity - which is uncommon and will present with nausea, vomiting, jaundice, fatigue etc. Drink lots of water and follow up with ur dr. Take care and god bless u!  http://m.Healthline.Com/symptom/dark-urine.
