My daughter is currently a college student studying biology but she thinks, for her, a career as an EMT is better than a career in biology or medicine.

I am looking to use it to quit smoking and my doctor has suggested it but after reading on what kinds of patients they use it on and what it was originally intended for, I'm hesitant that it might make me a completely different person.

Question 1- Have you ever tried generic versions of these drugs and if so what were they and how did they work?

Question 2- if you've only tried the name brand stuff, mainly Cialis since it claims to work up to 36 hours, does it work well with repeated sexual attempts or just the first time or two? Thanks!

Just had my wisdom teeth cut out and I was wondering what the toxicity level of both these medications are. They are both in the pills the doctor gave me 30 percocet/endocet 5/325mg. So 5mg of oxycodone and 325mg of acetaminophen (tylenol).

I was wondering how many I should be taking a day for the pain, I usually take 1 every 4 hours but doesnt seem to be enough sometimes so i take 1 and 1/4 every four hours sometimes.

I was wondering what is safe and what is not I am 17 years old. Thanks in advance.

What could this mean? My friend had a brain MRI done ("...with and without contrast"). And that was the result. What do you know about those findings. What does that mean. The doctor was dismissive about it, my friend said, telling him "..you should not worry about it", and then changed the conversation.

My friend says there is some history of Alzheimer's in his family, but he's not sure if it is an isolated case only.

Is there a definite link between those finding and Alzheimer's? Could that "atrophy" get reversed either w intervention of some sort or by itself?

I would really appreciate a any input from someone educated/professional in a related field of study. Anyone?
