Around a week ago, the doc switched my dose from 20 mg to 15 mg of adderall. I don't feel like the drug is doing much, but I can't tell if this would really make a difference. I used to take 30 mg XR, but I think it effected my sleeping patterns. I would like to know the effective dosage that someone my age and weight would take. Thanks.

Hi, Last week I went out with a friend to a new place and ate calamari. It never usually bothers me but this time I went home and 2 hours later threw up. I was ill for a liittle, threw up 3 more times and got most of it out. It was awful. I had no symptoms of Diarrea but for the last 6 days I have this awful feeling of tingling and numbness of my lips and jaw, chin and troat. It almost feels like I have a feather constantly going up and down my mouth and chin tickling me.
Could this be a reaction to the calamari. It seems to be wearing off but is still annoying me?

...I posted an earlier story about getting a treatment plan of $16,000 with them....well guess what,...I'm paying it as we speak, and they HAVEN'T DONE THE WORK, and they just shut down the office I was going to, and their corporate number leads me to nothing, and the website "contact us" leads me to a dead email as well.

I want to take legal action,...but what should I do?

This is a serious question, not a joke. I'm not going to admit to anything, I am just asking a hypothetical question.

Hello,

I have been hearing about evening primrose oil and I am interested in taking it. What does evening primrose oil do for a woman? Can a woman who takes birth control pills also take evening primrose oil or will the two interact? What have been your experiences with evening primrose oil? Is there anything else I should know? Tell it all. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am not fat. I am actually 122lbs and I am 5'4 in height, however unfortunately I am cursed with stretch marks on my rear end. I am african american and somewhat dark, but they are visible. I am curious to know that if I decide to war a swim suite, will people say something negative. My measurements are 34 27 38. However, those stretch marks really bother me. Opinions please.

In my protein powder, there is 70 g or mg of cholesterol and it is listed as 23% of my daily need for cholesterol. I take 7 servings of this a day, so I and basically getting 161% of the cholesterol that I need. Is this safe, or should cut I back a lot? And does the fact that I weight lift and am trying to gain mass kind of outweigh the side effects of cholesterol? Or is the risk of bad things still really high ?

I went to see my doctor 2 &1/2 weeks ago, to discuss my anxiety.
I have always been really shy, and really anxious all my life. (I am 20 years old)

I always thought that after high school, this would go away... And I would mature and get over it.
But I still find my self scared to go places with many people (partys, stores, concerts, movies... You name it).

I decided recently that I can live my life like this anymore, and its just not something that is going to pass... With out some help. So my doctor put me on Lexapro, to sample.
He said that after 2 weeks I would feel at least 50% better.
Well after doing some research about different anxiety meds, I realize that lexapro is for GAD and depression, not so much for Social Anxiety.
So I then started looking for good success stories for SOCIAL ANXIETY meds, and so far Effexor XR sounds the best.
And i am wondering if anyone out there has had good sucess on Effexor, and how I might go about bringing it up to my doc?

I need information specific enough that I can find and purchase them.

I know their half rimmed and browline, but that's not giving me the results I'm looking for.

It was on my right ear while she was playing with my hair. I use to get similar bites somewhere else but no wounds were made. Maybe since my ear's skin is a lot thinner. I went to a nearby hospital and allowed them to shoot me some first set of anti-rabies just to make sure. I rem the vet told me that it should take 5days after my puppy's shot before she'd be totally fine. So I was a little scared. Should I continue with the costly and horrible SHOTS? Please advice. Thanks!
