i took meds for chamydia about a week ago and i know it takes about 2 weeks to get cleared up but at planned parenthood they said you have to wait 3-4 months to get tested again? also i had sex after a week from taking the 4 pills or the the antibotics that start with a Z for Chamydia ?? could i be re infected again? if i used a condom?

I don’t think you can get some nice answers here.You’d better ask some medical care centers or ask some one like you with the same experience.No need to be shy.I think every where has a care center,or you can join some nice site like what I showed below for help,or just start a topic at its forum.I think many people are willing to help and share what is useful with you.Good luck to you.:P

I sprayed my carpet with roach repellent like a month ago. I dropped some meds on an area of my carpet that was sprayed. Are the meds contaminated now and dangerous to use? Or can I still go on taking them?

They’re most likely not contaminated, but they’re still dirty and probably have germs all over them. I suggest rinsing off each dose before you take it, assuming for some reason that you can’t trash all the meds you dropped and just get new ones.

well, it seems that the psychiatrists i have been to were completely ignorant on how the meds they prescribe work. i mean, they knew enough to do their job to a certain extent, but not enough to really really examine how a med might effect somone based on its pharmacology. so my question is, would a pharmacist be more of an expert in this? i have some questions that i need to know about certain psychiatric meds and how they effect the brain. THANKS!

Because pharmacists have studied medication and work with them everyday, I’m sure they have more knowledge and also have the ability to look them up immediately.

I think for in depth information about medication a pharmacist is the person to talk to.

My mom can’t afford meds for my panic attack. But, there really bad is there anyway to control then without take meds?

Lay down on the ground, take deep smooth breaths, and tell yourself that you’re just having a panic attack, and that’s all it is. Panic attacks are primarily psychological, so half the cure is knowing that you’re having one, and you’re not going to die.

What kinds of meds could I ask my doctor about for depersonalization/derealization?
1 hour ago – 4 days left to answer.

I have this exact same problem, depersonalization/derealization (in case you didn’t know is caused by anxiety) Really, there aren’t any medications specifically for depersonalization/derealization, but more for Anxiety in general. Try asking your doctor for those..What I learned is that the best medication to get rid of depersonalization/derealization is just to try and ignore it, and focus on things you like doing such as sports, drawing etc.

Good luck!

I’m having a VERY hard time sleeping and I’ve been considering taking sleeping meds. If I take it on a regular basis will this (in the long-run) lead to some irregular effects?

Also, can I get some good sleep inducing medicine/drug reccomendations?

You can become addicted to them. Don’t take Benadryl for extended period of time, it is a antihistamine and will dry up your sinuses and give you a sinus infection. Melatonin is fine, it is made by the body and is not habit forming. As we grow older our supply of melatonin depletes and taking more of it does not hurt anything but does help us sleep so you can take it as much as needed. Tryptophan is in chicken & turkey and is said to make you sleepy. Give it a try, can’t hurt anything.

I know some kids, mainly Indians, who are miserable and often complain about sciences yet they themselves are science majors. I ask them why do they major in something they hate and they tell me it is because their parents did not give them many options about the pre-med stuff. Either they become pre-meds, or well, lets say they don’t have many options. They are forced into being pre-meds.

What usually happens to kids that get forced to major in something they don’t really like?

Due to a lack of passion, their grades are not good enough and they don’t make it to med school.

Or they do become doctors, hate it, and try to make all the other doctors and nurses at the hospital as miserable as they are.

i am currently on Concerta and Cymbalta
i know weed can mess up the effects that the meds have on me, but to what extent? enough to cancel them out if i smoked enough?

Na dude, I’m on Cymbalta (for anxiety) as well, and I smoke. Have never had any problems.

How would they act. Would they just need to take their meds again to recover or would they need to be sectioned. Also what are the symptoms of bipolar exactly , how would u know if someone has it and is treatment just meds or is there therapy involved 2.

"I love you darling" "Fu** off you bitc*" (throws vase at her)

^Kinda like that but maybe not as extreme. It depends on the person.
