Are there any good all in one vitamins out there that will supply me with all I need throughout the day? I tried a couple but learned that they weren't any good (Men's One a Day). If there isn't a "magic" vitamin, what is a good combination to take?

well i have been smoking for several years now off and on. but i have been on zoloft for about 2 years and the last few times i have smoked i have felt very paranoid and the high hasnt been worth it. i havent ever gotten paranoid smoking before and its not like i am new to smoking because i've done my fair share of drugs (lsd, mushrooms, lil cocain..ect) but anyways when i smoke my heart seems to race and its just an odd feeling. i was woundering if anyone knew if smoking with on this meds causes this kind of a reaction. even for several days after i smoke i feel odd and was woundering if this is because of the mixture or its just something for me personaly.

AND. for all you who think drugs are bad and are just going to voice that i am an idiot please keep those thoughts to yourself. thanks.

ok so as if i bend over, each little bump of my spine goes straight in line from bottom to top until right below my neck, one of those little bumps jults to the left and than the bump after that goes pretty much back in line with the rest. i have a certain pressure in this area that doesnt really go away and every now and then i get this STRANGE sensation, and it feels like some kind of neourological tie with the irregular spinal allignment! Anyone know what this is? or have had similar sensations..ADVICE PLEASEE!

On May 8, 2006 I was in a bad car accident I suffered a concussion (grade 2) herniated disc and an angular tear (lumbar area L4 vertebrae). Well needless to say I have had a painful 10 months however a new symptom has presented itself that has caused me some concern: Today at work I had a feeling like I was being electrocuted not like pins and needles like a leg falling asleep but like someone was shocking me in the back with a very sharp painful tingling and my legs became very week my knees were barely able to hold me up I have had my left leg go numb a few times but this was different I was hoping someone might know what this is I am going to meat with my orthopedic/spine therapist asap but it will take a week or so to get in so I hope someone might be able to give me some info in the mean time I searched the internet but got only results about pins and needles in the legs.If it helps I am an athletic 23 y/o female 5'6 115 lbs treated w/ darvocet, loritab, lidocaine patches and PT.

I am pretty sure i broke my left pinkie the other day playing ultimate frisbee. It is very swollen, I have minimal movement, and it is a weird purple color. Due to work and other obligations i have not yet seen a doctor. It has been a little over 24 hours since it happened and I was wondering if I could get perminant damage by waiting so long to see the doc. Also, is there anything I can do before I see someone.
