Health - 2 September 2007

I just started taking Zoloft on Tuesday..Until today I was only taking half of the pill because my doctor wanted my body to get used to it first. Today I took my first whole pill and I am SO tired. Has the drug been in my system long enough to cause such extreme fatigue, or could this be something else? I mean I just took a two hour nap and I feel like I haven't slept at all.

I was slightly overweight and so I decided to lose some. No miracle deit was involved except that I simply ate a little less. I lost seven pounds in three months and was losing a bit more but then, I took a part time job which required a lot of walking and lifting heavy things. I noticed that I stopped losing weight and at times found myself gaining. My eating habit never changed. Waht's going on?

Everytime I have a lot of fun, and it's over, I get depressed. It's really annoying, because my life is always full of fun events. I never have any fun. Anyone else feel the same? Can anyone help me get out of this bad habit? I really need someone to help, please, because I just came back from camping, and it was soooooo fun. But now I'm back at my boring home, and I feel really depressed=[

Please please tell me how I can feel better. Thanks!

I have panic disorder, and I know one of the common fears is that you're going crazy. I'm having light spots in my vision, and I did talk to a psychiatrist about them, and he told me I should get my eyes checked, so I'm going to do that. My question is, how do you get over your fear of going crazy?

Also, if you can help with this one:I'm also very anxious about being left alone, even if I'm the only one awake and there's other people there (freaks me out to be the only one awake also)

thanks!

I know what your all thinking....but the condom split twice. I was SO upset that I had to take it again. But I heard that this frequently in two weeks is dangerous, what are the possible consequences?

And yes, I know I need to go to the doc for diagnosis/treatment, but I wanted to also get some ideas if anyone has experienced this before. Most of my online search and research indicates all this occurring on left side, but this is on my right. Sporadic elevation in temp but not a high fever, super sleepy and now arms and legs are feeling a bit weak. Ibuprofen and total rest will keep the pain at bay but it just doesn't feel right. Any thoughts, experiences, meidcal knowledge that might get me heading in the right direction?

I am on methadone maintenance aka mmr and I have gallstones. I went to the ER twice and both times as soon as they found out I was on methadone, it was like I had a contagious terminal illness. I haven't yet received the proper care and I am in terrible pain. I need something to take for pain. Can anyone help me with the names of medications that will help me until my appointment with the surgery clinic. I AM MISERABLE!!!!

Seems like they should have something by now. I think it's a racist conspiracy that the government is keeping the cure secret.

Ive read that this could be a pinched nerve... but i have also experienced strange hand cramps for about 5 years now.. Once or twice a week or so my hands will get stuck in certain positions.. like holding a pencil or glass of water. I've read that this is a symptom of MS.. could my pinky going numb also be a sign.. or are the two unrelated.? I would go to the doctor ... but im 21 and not insured at the moment.. is this serious enough to go without insurance??

I am surprised that circumcision is so widely accepted in the US...seeing that most people feel that circumcision done to females in africa is a barbaric practice. And please do not tell me it is cleaner or something...I know plenty of men who are not circumcised and have not gotten infections and such. I just read the book: The Joy of Uncircumcising. you should too.

My bf insists that he feels all woozy and high when he takes co-codamol pills for pain that have the numbers 30/500 0n them. He says the were prescribed for his mum after a knee replacement and were the next step-down from morphine. I told him he was being silly and must be imagining such effects. I've hurt my back and my mum gave me some co-codamol, so I was ridiculing my bf and saying that I didn't feel high or anything whilst taking them. He picked up the pack and said 'yeah, but these are only 8/500. The ones I was on were 30/500' and still insists that himself, his mum and his friend (who took two for a bad neck) all feel high and woozy and that the 30/500 do this but the 8/500 doesn't. Is he right??
