I was recently prescribed Adderall XR 10mg capsule, and when I got them home from the pharmacy they are all half empty. I have never seen a capsule like it. The beads seem to only occupy 1/2 of the pill when its tilted on its edge. Is this normal? I am simply worried because I know that Adderall is a Schedule 2 drug and has a high street value, and I don't want some disreputable pharmacist making off with half my medicine.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

I am in good shape.My doctors have told me that im in good health.I dont have really any issues with health.I was told that I had post tramatic stress.i didnt believe them at the time and the put me on meds .i worry about health to the point I cant really enjoy life.I am seeing a therapist too.I don't know why but I dred getting up everyday and facing the day and always scared that I will do something to have a heart attack or stoke or something else is going to happen.I used to think i was invincible and nothing bothered me.I had nerves of steel and took alot of chances.My doctors tell me to get out and live,but every little thing i do scares me into being careful and nervous.Im afraid to get my heart rate up and afraid that something will happen to me.I have lost weight to below where I should be because I didnt eat.Now Im worried about that.The therapist tells me the only person that can help me is me,but im afraid,what can I do to stop being afraid?Is it because im getting older?

I'm in a pretty cruddy situation. Something got in my eye about 5 hours ago and it's still being a bother. I tried washing it out for an hour and a half and nothing. I've tried the eye bath and even eye drops but nothing really worked.

I can't even go to sleep because it hurts especially when I keep my (right) eye closed so this really sucks. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm 25, but kinda clueless about certain things in life. What do you call the manner of death when someone commits suicide by sitting in their car in the garage, while it runs? Is it an asphyxiation? As well, if a person should perish from this, what occurs (How does this happen)? I'm also wondering if there can be a result besides death, such as brain death. An MD's response is especially welcome.

On the back of a person's head there are what feels like a bony projection/lump on each side. A couple centimeters under that is a small 'lump' that can be felt on everyone, right at the hairline. Are these lymph nodes?

hi, i heard that 30 mins of second hand smoke can harden up ur arteries =S. I was in a car with my friend and his dad was smoking hardcore lol. he had 1/2 of the window was open but barely any wind was enough to blow off the smell away so i had to suffer the 5 ciggarettes he smoked in the car for hours. I just hate it when parents dont realize what second hand can do especially to the young ones (by the way im 15 years old). so my question is that how much damage do you think my body has takened from 5 ciggarettes i sniffed up for the whole day? I know its a silly question but i think its a good sign for me to be worried, i dont want any sickness in the future. Thanks for reading & solving my question , good comments are very welcome

We have no insurance and cannot afford our medications. My grandparents cannot afford to even get them. I know their are foreign pharmacies to get medications from, if anyone knows of legitimate sites or pharmacies we would be so grateful if you could help us. It is outrageous that people have to choose between eating or taking required medications. I know this involves many scams, so we would only want to use ones proven to be safe and legitimate. Never having done this, I have no idea where to begin, so all info and help is so appreciated by our family. One RX alone can cost 200$ or more, we can't afford it and I know there are many others with same problem, so maybe we can help each other and find legitimate sources, so we do not lose more money on foreign scams. I know their are dishonest people who will take your money and never give you the meds, but I am hoping there are atleast some honest, caring compassionate people who care enough to help us?

I have seizures....some are epileptic, and some are not. I went to the ER tonight after a seizure and at the end of the night....the doctor told me not to come there again. He said that all of the seizures that he has seen in the hospital are non-epileptic and so there is nothing they can do to help me. I am on three AED's (medicine for seizure), and am being treated for epilepsy. A doctor who works at the hospital has seen one of my seizures, and says it is the real thing...they sent a counselor to talk to me and once she said there was nothing really wrong with me the doctor seemed to get very upset. Even if they don't believe that I have epilepsy, can they say "Don't bring her back here again unless it's a life and death emergency"? It is the county hospital, and the medics always take me... It just frustrates me to be treated this way. What if I get hurt...then what do I do? They doctor said "she'll come out of it eventually"..what if I dont and they refuse to care for me?

I work in a perishable food distribution warehouse that is maintained at a constant 37 degrees F. While I work my feet sweat and as they sweat the get colder and colder, this is especially true when i work in the freezer department which is always at 20 below 0. I've tried different socks with some sucess (meaning i've been able to eliminate any odor with good athletic socks) but still have a hard time keeping them dry.
