My name might indicate im a alcohlic but its just a BS name I use for spam. Anyways, I do not have a tolerance to benzos (daily use/even weekly) I try to take them here and there to help anxiety or sleep and they do absolutley nothing. Even at 20 mg valium or 1-2 mg xanax just have no effect. This is strange to me and I do not have this problem with any other meds. Is my liver just a sponge or what. I was thinking about trying Kava kava or valerian root wich are natures benzos but again I am reluctent to even waste my money. WTF is going on. Some plasma level thing I dont understand. They even gave me a high dose of Halcion a while back for a MRI and it made me anxious. Has anyone else ever had this problem..if so want work for you?

My OB suggested a prescription for vicodin, as tylenol dosnt work, and he doesnt want me to take ibuprophin. I can tolerate the pain durring the day, with Orajel, but at night the pain is just too much. Is this safe for me & the baby? What about Tylenol #3 (with codine)?

I have recently heard that a friend that was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (sp?) was greatly helped by supplementing her diet with Vibe. She has increased energy, her legs do not hurt anymore, and is sleeping much better. Before I try it, or consider selling it myself, I need more imput.

It's supposed to be a dental piece that you put in your mouth before you eat so you control your eating. Only certified dentists can sell it. Has anyone used it? If so how much was it? Most importantly did you loose weight and how much?

i really want to lose weight. i know it cant happen in one - two weeks so im not looking for that fast way of losing weight. the problem with me is that all fat is going to my belly and the main source of putting weight is pressure. for example, when i argue with my parents or when i got exams, stress, relationships whatsoever. i know youd say stop arguing, dont get 2 stressful about exams you are going to be fine but the news is that i cant do this. so pleaze help me. oh yh ive been trying or months and months 2 do some exercises but still dont work :(

hey my friend has been feeling sick (but she's also a drama queen...so) but anyway, do these symptoms sound like a thyroid problem or something more serious?

-no appetite, but when there is one, after eating a small bit - she feels sick to her stomach
-light-headed and dizzy (sometimes) she's seen spots, too.
-weight loss
-heart racing sometimes
-headaches.


...no, she's not pregnant either. lol

if you could help me out (cause im sick of hearing her complaining) that would be great.
she went to the doctor for tests today...but won't get results for a week or so.

thanks!

I am sick and went to the doctor yesterday. After he handed my prescriptions he said 'I really want to push fluids on you'. The last thing I feel like doing is drinking. Why is it the moment you don't feel well, you're told to drink a lot of fluids?

I missed a lot of class and some assignments because I literally couldn't get out of bed for a few days this semester. I am seeing a therapist and she diagnosed me with major depression. I am trying to get better. In the meantime, there is another month left of this semester and I want to try to make amends. I am an all A's and B's student and it will kill me to get C's or D's when the reason for my problem is psychological. Should I tell my professors (who like me, I think) what the deal is? Or would that be too personal?
