Question 1

what is the side effects of using lactopar medicine to reduce prolactin hormone , is it possible for women to get pregnant while using it ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If that medicine is also known as bromocriptine, then the most common side effects are dizziness, nausea, constipation, headache.  You can get pregnant taking this, and it is safe to continue through the early part of your pregnancy.  This medicine should be used as part of treatment for hyperprolactinemia.

Question 2

propranolol (inderal) for test  anxiety in kids?

Accepted Answer

I don't do this.: Some drs treat test anxiety w/ propanolol(inderal). I do not. This med is cognitively suppressive-esp if used episodically-so it can backfire. My experience is that there are better meds& methods. Also, I do not treat this anxiety only during testing. Whatever meds are used should be used routinely; otherwise, it is less effective. Plus, the patient needs to be acclimated well in advance of test.

Question 3

sertraline et trazodone sont ils dcelable dans l'urine. merci?

Accepted Answer

Tests de drogue: Le méta-chlorophénylpipérazine, métabolite de la trazodone, ou Zoloft peut provoquer des tests de dépistage de médicaments faussement positifs (drogues à usage abusif). Cependant, on ne teste pas ces composés sur un criblage standard de drogues dans l'urine.

Question 4

metformin, dextroamphetamine, maxalt, (rizatriptan) celexa, seroquel, labetalol, any of these drugs dangerous to take together?

Accepted Answer

Possibly : If all of those drugs are being used together there is a possibility of a negative drug interaction. Two of the drugs in particular could have a serious effect.  It is important to have a primary provider, in addition to specialists, who is aware of all the prescriptions that are taken and can make sure inappropriate combinations are not used together.

Question 5

i cannot take the tricyclics, atacand, (candesartan) ssris, valproic, propanolol, topomax.  tiptans did not work.  anything else for migraines?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine /chocolate: Should be eliminated for at least a few months to se if they are triggering.

Question 6

dangers of taking 4 cns drugs? taking: seroquel, xanaxs, escitalopran, psychiatrist want to add lamotrigine in small dose (50 mg) for better results.

Accepted Answer

Discuss w/ Dr.: The more medications, the more potential for interactions. While this combination is not unheard of, the research supporting this particular cocktail of 4 drugs is likely highly limited. Therefore, consult your doctor to understand his/her rationale. Be sure also to ask what steps you can take, including enrollment in evidence-based psychotherapy, to assist in your treatment.

Question 7

what doctor in las vegas uses flumazenil (clonazepam)?

Accepted Answer

Sleep medicine doc: Flumazenil (clonazepam) can help when people have overdosed on benzodiazepines, and it has also been used in excessive daytime sleepiness.  You might look for a sleep medicine physician.  However, you cannot dictate the medicines the physician will give you.  That would be decided after a thorough evaluation of whatever problem you're experiencing.  Check with http://www.Aasmnet.Org/ or http://www.Absm.Org/.

Question 8

is clonidine 0.1mg, tizandine 2mg, hydrocodone/acetaminophen, clonazepam , amlodipine besylate , losatan?hctz 100/12.5 mg, dexilant (dexlansoprazole) beta blockers?

Accepted Answer

Nope: If the question was, "are these beta blockers", the answer is no. You have quite a list of meds though. It looks like you have blood pressure, pain, muscles spasms,  anxiety, and reflux covered though.

Question 9

on 50mg pamelor migrane + 50mg topamax (topiramate) qhs, neuro wants me to take 25mg topamax (topiramate) in am too but makes me sleepy, can i take all 75 topamax (topiramate) + pamelor qhs?

Accepted Answer

MY OPINION: In some cases, the topamax (topiramate) will be more effective if used once every 12 hrs, but the drowsiness adverse effect may not go away.  Although the Pamelor is a rather poor preventative, and not fda approved, this could be used once daily at higher dosage perhaps.  But how about an otc approach using butterbur, feverfew, or riboflavin, or co-q10?  Likely fewer side effects, if any.

Question 10

patient drowsy24hr, intermittent apnoea
can

Accepted Answer

If: EEG show Epileptiform waves then the EEG suggest Seizure. The doctor could initiate appropriate anti epilepsy medication. Any adverse effect to such medication should be reported immediately to the prescriber
