Question 1

i was just put on lipitor (atorvastatin) 20 mg  i have heard bad things about women being put on this medication should i be concerned. no other health issues.

Accepted Answer

Lipitor (atorvastatin): Lipitor (atorvastatin) aims to reduce total and LDL cholesterol blood levels. Side effects are not common b these include muscle weakness, liver inflammation, and even muscle or liver "cell deaths". Data show that statins reduce our body's production of Coenzyme Q 10; depletion of this essential co-vitamin is largely responsible for side effects. Supplementing with CoQ10 is wise. Females are not "more prone."

Question 2

Accepted Answer

: It may take more than 3 days, good luck!

Question 3

do all medications affect women's fertility?

Accepted Answer

No: Some medications do have an effect, typically those that act on the pituitary gland or the ovary.  If the medication interferes with menstrual cycles or affects rapidly growing cells, fertility is affected.  Examples are birth control pills, letrozole, and chemotherapeutic agents.

Question 4

what medication is best for increasing fertility in woman?

Accepted Answer

Clomiphene or Femara (letrozole): The choice of medication depends on the type of patient, but the first line of treatment is clomiphene, an oral medication used to induce follicular growth and ovulation. It is inexpensive and relatively safe, but can lead to multiple pregnancies (8%) and supresses the uterine lining. Femara (letrozole) is an oral alternative to Clomiphene that does not affect the endometrium. Both are equally effective.

Question 5

Category b: animals studies say safe, but no randomized controlled studies done in humans. These drugs are frequently used during pregnancy and do not appear to cause major birth defects or other problems.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: There is no clear evidence on this.

Question 7

i can't go out in public without medication (1-2 etizolam daily) and still cannot approuch woman i also get well to drunk which is unattractive help?

Accepted Answer

Before all else- : Lets address that you have described yourself as a "heavy drinker" and conditions as "alcohol intoxication, confusion and memory loss". Do you know that you kill your brain cells when you do this. It will not help your anxiety or difficulty going into public. Encourage you to get into treatment to deal with this. Cognitive behavioral therapy is especially helpful. Psychiatric medications may be.

Getting pregnant: Try using an ovulation kit if you haven't already.
