The muffins say that there is only 75 calories per 1/2 a muffin but they are pretty big and they taste real too...could it be a mislabeling?

My best friends daughter (26 y.o.) has suffered from depression since she was a teenager. She recently confided in me about plans to take her own life. She takes 30 mg of mirtazapine daily and has access to about 45 30 mg of the mirtazapine. I'm afraid she's planning on take them all at once. I've discussed this with her mom and she says that the dr. wouldnt have prescribed any quantity she could hurt herself with. I disagree, but dont know what action to take. What amount is safe for her to have access to? She seems fine now, but I've watched her go from fine to suicidal numerous times.

So I'm going back on the pill for the first time in years and am trying to avoid having my period a certain week in August.

I was going for the Sunday start (next Sunday) but my period came yesterday (Sat) instead of tomorrow (Mon) when I expected it.
I can either start the pill today which puts my August period exactly when I don't want it - therefore, I'll just take two packs back to back and skip a period then,
OR I'm thinking about waiting till next Sunday to start and using other birth control for the first month.
Which would you do? - I've never tried the two back to back and just skip even though a lot of women do it? Has anyone had any weird emotional side effects from that?

he kept falling on his face(litterally) when he was learning how to walk i'm sure that had a big part in this. is this a partial root canal? is there a full one that can be done or is that only in adults? how long will the procedure take? he was to uncooperative at the dental office so no x-rays were done will some be taken while he's out? is there a chance that this wont work? what else can be done? we've tried to get him to brush every night and he's getting the hang of it, but i think its too late.what if they do pull them...will they put a spacer(s) there? all of this is in the front of the mouth. i think the front 4 i'm not sure. he doesnt even know he's having this done.should i try to tell him? how do i? i'm more scared and nervous then ever!! i'm afraid he's going to be in so much paina nd uncomfortable.
I REALLY NEED ADVICE AND HELP PLEASE

It is not shooting pain, it is just very intense pain.. It is hard to walk on it. I can't even leave my feet on the ground because of the pain. If you can help, that would be great!!

I was 300lbs in Sept. 06

Changed my ways and am now down to 235.

I use to be in shape when i was 14-17, put alot of weight on for football.

I want to get back down to around 200lbs.

im a 6'2 20year old man.

I eat healthier and exercise alot.

But I still have alot of flabby fat.

Its mostly in my stomach area and sides.

I do have strech marks.

I do alot of situps and crunches and all those.

Im still 35lbs away from my goal weight.

Im wondering is this "saggyness" that I still have is loose skin or just still fat left over?

It has gotten better as I been working out, but cant tell if it will comptlety tighten back up.

It still has flab in it, so im confused if its just stubborn fat, or loose skin??

How can I tell?

hi, I am currently taking Lexapro and Elavil for my depression. I don't seem to get much relief. I've also been on Paxil, which didn't do much for either. A friend of mine gave me Tramadol(Ultram) for back pain I have been expereincing. I noticed a great deal of mood elavation from it(and no I don't mean a high like you would get from percocet). I looked it up online, and read a few articles that Ultram is helpful in depression, however it may cause a dependence. My question is will a doctor prescribe Tramadol for depression, even though its main use is for pain?

went to a magic show last night with some friends. after a few tricks he started to do hypnotizing and got some volunteers. part of the way through it, i turned to my friends sitting with me and saw one of them keep opening and closing her eyes alot and the other with a kind of out of it look, but she looked awake. i tried talking to them but they didn't really answer me.
i let it go and watched some more, and after awhile my eyes kept getting heavy. were they sort of hypnotized? what about me? we weren't on stage

My friend has been saving his $$$ for while now and is pretty excited about getting all of his teeth pulled in a favor of some permanent dentures. He's been plagued by bad teeth for years and fears opening his mouth in public, so its understandable that he's looking forward to it. I'm just wondering if anyone could share any info about the prodecure, pros, cons etc...that I could tell him about so he feels prepared.

thanks

I went thru a really bad depression a while ago when I was suicidal, but my friends pulled me out of it. I was really happy and great for about a year, and then for the last couple of months that “feeling” came back. Even if I have a great day, I could come home and just cry for no reason. No, it is not pms. I feel sad for no apparent reason, and I have an “empty” feeling all the time. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m a teen, so high school drama is normal, but now the TINIEST things can make me sob for hours. I don’t even want to talk to my best friends, because they cant help. I don’t even know why im sad!?!?!?! and im not going to see a doctor or talk with my family or take antidepressants. And I always feel confused and left out, even if im surrounded by friends at a party. I have a boyfriend and the best of friends and I’m living a good life, but for some reason I always feel “empty”. I believe in God, and i stay true to Him. Am I depressed, and what can i do about it?
THX!

For the last 2 weeks, I have had a sensation of moving, imbalance, vertigo. No nausea or fever. Occasional earache. 2 doctors I went to said it was an inner ear infection. They cleaned my ears out (I had some wax buildup) and gave me antibiotic and medication to help with the vertigo, etc. Anyone ever have this? How long does this typically last?
