Question 1

is it safe to take four different types of medications at once?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Many medications can be taken at the same time. Must check with pharmacist to be sure there are no drug interactions any time you take any number of medications at the same time.

Question 2

i want to get an apartment with my friend and she has mersa.  she has had it for four years now and she takes medication.  can i still get the mersa?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If she is a carrier, nasal culture positive, you will be exposed.

Question 3

if you have been precribed a medication in the last four months and you are drug tested and come up positive for that in a drug test can they hold that against you?

Accepted Answer

Usually : Usually you are given a form before you have a drug test asking what medications you are on.  You just need to write down all of your prescriptions.  If you didn't get a form, just get proof that it was a prescribed medication.

Question 4

can there be some long term migraine medication available that would require you taking four weeks off work to adjust?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no such medication. If you are getting an IV infusion for refractory headache or migraine it takes 5 days protocol and 5-7 days off are warranted. 
Hope it helps.

Question 5

i have a four month old baby and have found it hard to stay happy what can i do that does not involve medication preferably?

Accepted Answer

See MD. : Post partum depression can be devastating. Please see your doctor and determine if medicine is a must.  Ask for a name for a good therapist. You may improve with a therapist. Your baby can sense your low mood. Please get help soon. I wish you the best!  I have treated two women in past 3 months who improved quickly with medication and therapy!!

Question 6

what makes up vyvanse other than its active compound? in other words, what additional compounds or elements, chemicals, 'inerts' etc are in the drug?

Accepted Answer

Vyvanse is a prodrug: Its chemical structure consists of dextroamphetamine coupled with the essential amino acid, L-lysine, called Lisdexamfetamine (L-lysine-dextroamphetamine). It must be converted in the body to the active stimulant, dextroamphetamine.  It is useful for treatment of ADHD because the time necessary for the body to convert it allows it to be active  much longer than dextroamphetamine itself.

Question 7

what is the strongest pain medication available for four tooth extractions?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Different patients react differently to different medications.  What is strong and effective for one individual may have lesser effect on another individual.  Your treating dentist or surgeon can discuss what would be appropriate for you depending upon your individual health history and the difficulty of the procedure.

Question 8

what's a good resource for trace elements and heavy metal toxicity?

Accepted Answer

Be VERY careful: Most of the outfits offering "heavy metal testing" are scams, charging outrageous prices for"tests" intended to get you to buy their nutritional supplements, have your fillings removed, and generally suck you into a expensive racket. They exude warmth and this is the one thing that may make you feel better.

Question 9

can there be any other over-the-counter drugs which contain the same elements as oxybutynin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Oxytrol patch is transdermal oxybutynin.  It used to be by prescription only but now is OTC.

Question 10

hello, it's been four days. and i can't feel the pain medication prescribed. since i was on suboxone prior. it seems it's still in me for some reason.

Accepted Answer

Be Patient: The half-life of Suboxone in the body is up to 2 days so it may still be in your system and affecting the new pain medication you are taking.  I recommend giving the new medication more time to see if it becomes more effective.  You should speak with your prescribing health care provider further about this.
