Health - 3 October 2007

I have been on numerous brands of pills(for both preventing pregnancy and regulating)since I began taking birth control 4 years ago,all having too high of doses making me depressed and very irregular with severe cramping/bleeding,not to mention my forgetfulness in taking them on time.I used the NuvaRing which was ok for a while but it tends to fall out too often(it was inserted properly, just doesn't like to stay in, neither do tampons).I have been looking into getting an IUD, but not sure if I should get the hormonal or copper one.I have heard good and bad about both,and not sure which would be better suited for me.I am leaning toward the copper since there are no hormones,but would like some experienced stories/opinions on both.I have a 5 year old son and we plan on having more when my fiance is out of the Marines.He might get out soon on med. discharge or next Sept.,not sure yet.With that in mind, don't know if I want a "semi-permanent" bc or not. Details...

I have a horrible cough and have some Histinex HC syrup that was prescribed almost a year ago (about 1/3 left). Is it still good? It's been kept in a cabinet in my kitchen. I don't see any expiration dates and I seem to remember the doctor saying it should be good for a couple of years but worry that since it is a liquid it could have mold... anyone know if it should be safe?

My doctor prescribed me Ativan yesterday after I had a fainting spell that he attributed to stress/anxiety. I asked him for a non habiting forming drug because I have a history of addiction. After looking it up online, I've found that this drug is habit forming, but I can't seem to find exactly what the drug is. I'm only taking 0.5mg as needed. Can it still be habit forming in such a low dose? What family of drugs is Ativan in or what drugs are similar to it?

I have been watching my diet very closely lately, and have found out that the vast majority of my calories come from carbohydrates. I have been able to bring it down from about 63% of my total calories to about 45%. Do think it's normal for a person to consume more carbs than fats or proteins? Do you think my fight against too many carbs is good since I am trying to lose fat and gain muscle?

I have been on Effexor for about 2and a half months now and lately when I do walking I get heart pulpitations and feel really weak and sick. I have not been excercising since being on them and this has never happened to me before. I would like to go back to the gym but if I feel like this each time I just cant go. Im putting on weight and its really frustrating.

Please, genuine answers.

Thank you

After three years of negotiation, my friend's brother has finally agreed to check into a drug rehab and the whole family wants to support him. Are there rehab programs which provide talks or seminars about dealing with a family member who's into drugs?

Is it normal that I wheeze heavily and loudly when running or long jogs? I often scare people with the wheezing, I can't even talk it just overcomes any sound. I have mild Asthma and I always wheeze when running and only sometimes during jogs.

I recently was put on Depo-Provera and i've become very irritable, more so than usual so i'm pretty sure they're related. I dont want to go off the shot.
Does anyone have a way to help ease my irratability?

I don't believe in going on diets and I hate to exercise. How do I sneak exercise into my life without feeling like I'm exercising? And how can I cut calories without feeling like I'm on a diet?

P.S. I hate cutting food out of my life, so don't suggest cutting out entire food groups. I won't stick to it. I need feasible suggestions that I can actually live with.

Thanks :-)

Her medications have worked wonders, successful in having her own business for 10 years. But now the medication isn't working. She has been on Haldol, and Throzine for sometime. He voices are back and harmful. She can't drive, do her business and she has to eat foods that are packaged. She is going to go into hospital so they can regulate her medication better.
What kinds of medications are new? Any suggestions on what I as a caregiver and co owner of company can do to keep this business a float? This is all new to me. We have been together for over a year and I have never seen this before in her. I new she had this mental illness, but never experienced it with her. Any help suggestions would help.

We own a computer sales, service and web design company. She does all the technical and I do all other.
