I've suffered depression for over a decade. It was seasonal when living up north; but is now steady year round; but not as severe living in the South. I've tried every SSRI, Wellbutrin, Adderall, you name it and none pull me completely out without making me miserable in another area such as poor sex drive, weight gain, emotional blunting, etc. Provigil was the ONLY medicine that made me feel completely normal; it was a godsend; but after two weeks it began to stop working almost completely even after dose increase. This question is aimed at chemists or persons very familiar with actions of meds on the brain. The provigil allowed me to wake up almost instantly (rather than sleeping 14 hours a day), I had a sex drive, I thought clearly, no side effects, a pure miracle but short lived. Definitely not a placebo affect, it was far too distinct. What action does Provigil have on the brain, and is there any other drug, legal or not, that would be similar? My life is worthless.

From where I come from there are plenty of rumours about it.
I have heard that guy's knees become weaker after ejaculation and women experience changes in their physical appearance.
I just want to clear this once and for all.
A scientific or professional answer is definitely preferable.

I am seeing conflicting informtion on the web about the age at which a healthy adult should consider getting the pneumonia vaccine. Some web sites indicate that it's age 50, while others say it's age 65. Does anyone have any information about the age at which a healthy adult should get his pneumonia shot?

hey

my ears keep feeling blocked, and i find it hard to hear. strangely enough, it only occurs when i enter the place i work at :p
i'm assuming it's wax build up, and that i should probably go to the doctor. but as it's the weekend i'd like to try some ear drops, but don't know what the best type to use is - any advice?

Thanks! :)

I am in 8th grade, and I have pain all over my body a lot. I dont know what is causing it, but it is all over, at when i first get up from sitting down, it is really bad, and then as I move around it sorta goes away. I have strep, but i dont see how that can be connected. It has been happening for like three weeks.

I went clubbing last weekend and got into a fight with my boyfriend. I normally do not drink, and had 4 straight shots of bacardi. I vomitted most of it and passed out. Anyhow, i slept 3 hrs of it and when i woke up, i was very upset and depressed so i took 20 extra strength unisom sleeping pills (50 mg each) and 6 codeines on an empty stomach. I acted crazy, hallucinated, eyes bulged out, black outs, pale skin, however i did not go to the hospital. I was dizzy and fell so many times that i injured my jaw. My family took care of me, cuz i only told them about the codeine overdose and not alcohol or sleeping pills. It's been 5 days since then and i'm lucky to be alive. I feel very weak and tired, and i've been sleeping a lot. Do you think i will be fine? Will this effect me in long term?

I have been doing some homework but am getting a tutor to help me keep up with school. I really need to find somthing fun to do while sitting/ laying on the couch. Any ideas?

I can never wake up to my alarms, somehow i turn them off (i have 3) without realizing and when i wake up and see that they were all turned off, it's weird. Also when i'm in tired mode, if i actually do semi-wake up, i can't make good judgements, like all i want to do is sleep. But then when i'm completely awake i feel bad for sleeping.
Today i have the day off and I slept from 10pm-9am. Then after I had taken a shower I sat back on my bed and fell asleep right away until 1pm! What's going on? I need to get my life fixed so that i can get on sleeping schedule of getting up at 7am everyday but it's not working!

I'm 6'1" and my younger brother is more or less as tall as me. But my older brother, father, and mother, are all 5'8", 5'8", 5'5" respectively. Plus, I'm Asian and I know Asian people tend to be shorter than most other races. I'm just curious as to what extent does a person's height depend on their genes?

lately ive noticed that upon laying down [whether in a bed or on the couch] when I get up normally, my vision becomes fuzzy for a moment and I become light headed, sometimes to the point to where I just fall over. It's definantly happened more than once, so what could happen to me if it happens too fast? I mean, worst scenario?!

My husband went to his primary care doctor for a regular exam. They said they wanted to check his blood pressure in a couple of weeks to see if it had changed any. So he paid his co-pay, went to the 2nd appt. which was literally 1 minute long, with the nurse, who took his blood pressure, said there was no co-pay and sent him on his way.

So today we get a bill which looks like they processed both appointments through the insurance, the insurance paid their part, etc. Except they put the 2nd appt through, as $20 (our co-pay), which of course our insurance denied paying. How can this doctor charge us $20 for a simple blood pressure followup appointment that he could have gotten done for free at Walmart? So now this doctor's office is asking for that amount.

Can the doctor do this?

I keep smoking even though I don't want to. It makes me sick, but I can't help it. I want to quit without using any of that quit smoking medication. Do you know a way? A good effective way?

Weird questions I know.

I drink heaps and heaps of water. I have like 3 drink bottles going and I drink them all really quickly without realizing how quickly I'm drinking!

The weird thing is I don't pee that much!

I could drink nearly 3 litres of water a day and not wake up in the middle of the night at pee. My Mum thinks it's crazy.

Is this 'normal'?

I love food; I love eating, but I can't! I'm not anorexic. I'm pretty average in size.

Even if I drink a bottle of water, I get full.

What's causing this? Should I talk to my doctor?

My best friend is an alcoholic. I accompanied him to a alcohol rehab last Wednesday because I finally convinced him to get some help. The doctor and the counselor said that he has to undergo a detoxification first. What is detoxification? Is it really necessary? My best friend is asking me these questions and I don't know what to answer.

I heard going without food takes quite a while for someone to die.. if my weight/height counts, I'm 4'11" and 72 pounds. how long would I have to go without water before I'd die of dehydration? days, weeks, months..
