Question 3

i take a multivitamin and a cranberry supplement before bed and have cloudy urine first thing in the morning with no pain or smell do i need to worry?

Accepted Answer

Not usually.: Cloudy urine in the morning, often can be due to concentrated urine from lack of fluid intake during the night.  As long as it goes away as you drink plenty of fluids during the day, relax.  If it does not clear up during the day, you may have an infection, or other problem, and should get checked.  Otherwise, if it keeps up, see if taking those meds in the morning stops it, or stop them to see.

Question 7

i am taking a drug test tomorrow and i want to make sure i pass. i was smoking pot lightly just a cpl hits before bed  at most a small bowl a day ?

Accepted Answer

Sorry....: I realize I probably sound like everybody's mother (sigh), but the best way to pass a drug screen is not to use drugs. I am not saying this from a moral standpoint al all. But if you have a job that hinges on your being clean and sober - or if you are in a housing program with that requirement, the stakes are simply too high for you. Re-evaluate your use of pot if it worries you. LGromkoMD

Question 8

i am currently taking 10mg of lexapro (escitalopram) once a day before bed, is it same to have a few (2-3) drinks occasionally while taking this medication?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: It can lower effectiveness and heighten risk of side effects. Reports of anxiety, extreme sleepiness and worse depression are common. If you do decide to take a chance, limit to one drink and plan for someone you trust to watch you for problems. Plan to have someone else drive if necessary. You're worth taking care of - be safe!

Question 9

my son is being weened off of zoloft and starting lexapro. he is taking 50 mg of zoloft and is supposed to start 5 mg of lexapro today. can i give him both medications at the same time? he usually takes the zoloft before bed and i was wondering if it is s

Accepted Answer

Medicine changes : it will be fine to transition from one medication to another with an overlap time.    You can overlap by removing the Zoloft over a two week time frame while adding the Lexapro (escitalopram) gradually or all at once.   It takes several days for the Lexapro (escitalopram) to gear up in the body.  Monitor him for tiredness, mood changes and sleep changes.   These will go away after the total switch.

Question 10

is lexapros effectiveness affected by what time you take it? like before bed or upon waking?

Accepted Answer

Lexapro: Lexapro can be taken at anytime of the day.
