I was recently prescribed Xanax to treat anxiety related to law school. I was given 1 mg tablets, to be broken into halves and taken. I have a very important oral argument in a couple of days, and I am worried about taking too large a dose. I need to be very alert and able to respond to the judge's questioning. I am a nervous wreck when it comes to these things. Do any of you suggest maybe lowering the dosage to maybe .25 for that particular day. I need mental clarity, but I want to be without the trembling and nervous fidgiting. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have a fungal infection from my chin down to my hips and some on my face. I went to my doctor and he gave me an antifungal creme but it didnt work. I made another appointment but its not for 3 weeks and Im out of medicine. I tried Tenactin and Gold Bond but I can't tell if its making a difference. Any advice would be great as I can't go to work or hold my daughter. Please help.

I've been going to Walgreens but my doctor said they are the most expensive. He said to try Walmart or target or costco. Is the difference in prices that much? I don't have insurance so I am paying out of pocket for my prescriptions. If anyone with experience knows, I would appreciate it, thanks.

I am going crazy here, I have been sick for about 20 hours, a very mild case of food poisoning but one that nonetheless was able to wake me up in the middle of the night in a very hot sweat, send me running to the bathroom, have me pass out in said restroom, and wake up freezing and soaking with sweat. needless to say, awful, but I did not end up vomiting even once.
I've been dizzy all day and mildly nauseous. I had two peanut butter sandwiches about 6 hours ago but have decided I can't test myself with anything like that again - though I'm not VERY hungry i feel like i must eat something else before I pass out. But every time i get up to grab food I just think that it's an awful idea and it's bound to make me ill...

short version: is there anything a person with a mild case of food poisoning can eat before the symptoms are gone that won't make things [temprorarily] worse?

i am a student so my options are limited: i have rice, soups, beans, bread, spaghetti, couscous, tuna, bread...

I have been depressed for a while now. On top of endless homework from taking AP classes, I have a (what seems like) a cronic shyness, a disgust for my body that will never be thin enough, a growing lack of modivation, and a sense that I am not good enough to be loved by anyone. But the only thing I want is to have a boyfriend (a specific boy who seems to be interested in me but I fear that he might just be playing with my head). I can't stand these games but there's no way in hell I can "make a move". I wish I could but it's simply impossible... believe me. It's unimaginably painful to think that I will just have to accept that I will not be with him (as I have with MANY other guys). This depression is making me miserable! I constantly think of ending my life! I know it's wrong but it sounds like the only way to end this pain inside.

I have one at home but I've never used it..

I'd like to lose some tummy fat and lovehandles.
How many times a week should I use it?
How soon will I see results?
And how long should each session be!?


THANKS!

Everyday i put on deoderant/anti-persperant. and everyday by third hour i have huge pit marks in my shirt, i can't make it stop and i'm not even that hot i just sweat horribly, and it leaves very visable marks. it doesn't smell or anything but it's just over obvious.

Does anyone know of specific products or routines that can cure or lessen this effect?
does anyone else experience this or know why it's so bad?

I've already put aloe vera on it last night and tonight, but all last night it was really hard to sleep? My teacher at school told me to put apple cider vinegar on it, but first of all I thought she was just plain crazy and secondly I don't have any. Today my boyfriend poked and prodded my sunburn and it was annoying so I just want it to heal thanks....

My body mass index is in the normal range. I'm definitely not overweight or underweight.
But this year I think my stomach has stopped being as flat as it once was. Any way to change this?

Also I have a little bit extra around the lovehandles region... I have big hips naturally but this just emphesizes them. So, how can I lose these?

what do i do if i don't start my period before the active pills are gone? or what if i don't start it at all? do i just continue to take the pills as usual? (white, light blue, dark blue then green) like normal?

i only have four dark blue pills left, then it's on to the green ones and i don't know when i'm going to start my period because it seems like it just ended like two weeks ago and my pills are almost gone already. i'm confused about this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I switched from drinking regular coke to drinking diet. I saw on the bottle that it said zero carbs, zero sugars, zero fat. I checked the lable and I see that it is high in sodium, and that's about it.

So, if I'm trying to lose weight and get in shape, is diet coke fine to drink. Is seems to contain none of the ingredients to stay away from if you're tryin to lose weigt. Am i right?

In your local communities, what have you seen to be the average success rate of these people as far as curing people of disease as opposed to regular doctors?
