I've been on amitriptyline for 2 and a half years for headaches following a brain injury. I want to try to come off them but I'm scared to - does anyone know what kind of withdrawal symptoms I could get? I'm worried I'll get really bad headaches again and also because amitriptyline is also an antidepressent I'm worried I might get depressed - is that possible? My dr thinks I should come off it but wasn't too helpfull telling me about withdrawals etc..

My mother was complaining of chest pain, loss of energy and breathlessness for several months before she died. How can you tell the difference between allergy problems, ingestion and the general ageing process and a heart attack warning? She was being more and more inhalers for breathlessness, while I believe, congestive heart failure was not being investigated throughly enough. Any thoughts on this?

Is it dangerous to wear colored contacts? I haven't seen people wearing them since the late 90's.

Do you think science can create a way for cosmetic surgeons to perminately change the color of the eyes? Do you think it's possible?

I work at a not for profit hospital that has in its employeee handbook that it is against policy to take any form of medication while on the clock. I have medication that has set time intervals to be taken which would require me to take while I am working. Is this a legal to prohibit to take medication prescribed by my Doctor? It is necessary to take this medication but I am in fear of losing my job if it was found out that I am not compliance with company policy? I need a definitive answer please.

Thank you.
