I have been on Effexor for a year and a half and am ready to stop taking it, but every time I skip a dose I experience severe dizziness and sometimes nausea that disrupts my daily life. Does anyone have any advice?

I have constant pain in my lower abdominal area and the inside of my uterus high up which gets worse during my period but is excuriating every day. I've had a tumor and two cysts removed off of my fallopian tube and ovary. My last pap smear said I had severly abnormal pre-cancerous cells. I don't have much money and can't see a doctor and the hospitals can't figure out exactly what's wrong with me. Can anyone please tell me what is going on and how I can get help I can't take living in pain much longer. I would love to hear from anyone who also is living with these symptoms. Plus when I have intercourse with my husband if he enters all the way there is a spot that causes so much pain I have passed out. help please.

A very dear friend of mine had cocaine show up in a test. She has not touched any drug other than cannibus in over 10 yrs.
What could mimic cocaine in a drug test?
I have heard poppy seeds, but she hasn't consumed any. She is so beside herself because we cannot imagine what it could be.
Any other suggestions are much appreciated...
Thanks In Adavance!

I don't know what's going on with me. I've been extremely thirsty and no matter how much water I drink i'm still thirsty afterwords. This is how much water I drink....

*MORNING(BEFORE BREAKFAST): 1 liter to 1 1/2 liter
*MORNING(AFTER BREAKFAST):2-3 20oz bottles to 1 1/2 litter of water.
*DURING LUNCH: 1-2 20oz bottles of water.
*AFTER LUNCH:2-4 20oz of water
* WITH/AFTER MY SNACK: 1 liter to 3 liters
*BEFORE DINNER: 1-2 18oz of water
*AFTER DINNER: 1-2 18oz of water
* BEFORE SNACK: 1-2 18oz of water
*AFTER SNACK: 1-2 18oz of water.

I don't even eat salty food. and each time I drink these amounts i'm still thirsty. I'm 16years old, 5ft 5inches tall and 111lbs.

***THE DOCTORS ALREADY TESTED ME FOR DIABETES BUT THEY SAID I'M JUST EXTRA THIRSTY AND THEY JUST LEFT IT AT THAT*** I'm just worried I guess.

I just started my period today and I don't want to still be on it on Saturday. Is there any way that I can make it stop by then? I usually last about a week and I'm on birth control.

Is anyone out there into holistic medicine who could recommend an herbal supplement that would help eliminate moderate plaque blockage in the carotid artery? I was told I have mild plaque buildup in my left carotid artery. I had an ultrasound test done by Life Line Screening.
