Medicine - August 2007

My doctor just prescribed me 0.5mg of Klonopin, to take as needed, for my anxiety. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience that they can share in regards to this drug. Any side effects such as weight gain, etc....

Thanks~

I am curious on this. Do these medical checkups also include test on drug usage or intake.

From Highschool I go to a university in Canada and do my undergraduate (4 years) then go to med school (4 years) then residency (2-3 years) if after i could take a speciality if i want. OR From Highschool I apply to (missing undergrad) med school in say Ireland if I get accepted then I do my 4 years in med school, then come back to Canada take a med test (studying takes 1 year) then do my residency (2-3 years) and then a speciality if I wanted.

I was given simvastatin for high colesterol. I had taken that for 1 mo. and got a refill but the pills looked different. I just figured they changed the pill. the bottle said simvastatin on it. I didnt have a problem taking the 1st prescription but every time i tried to take the 2nd one I had really bad heartburn and i couldn;t go to sleep. i was to take 1ea nite before going to bed but these i couldn't. finally i decided after taking about 15 pills in 30 days that something is not working with these pills. the last nite I took the pill was so bad the next day i couldn't swallow very easially.took the pills back to the pharmacy and right away they told me i had been given the wrong pills, prozac 40mg to be exact. I have told the pharm/dr./lawyer all what happen and have had upper gi and now have to go to a specialist due 2 scar tissue on my schatzkis ring but have to prove that it happened from prozac. never had this problem till now.i live in utah, morman country what would u do..

We are having a disagreement in my medical lab class. Which of the following is an example of administering a medication? Giving a patient an IM injection or The doctor giving the patient samples of medication to take at home. Please only serious answers. It is in our book but instructor doesn't take it the same way we do. We say it is the injection but he says that is an injection not administering. He says the samples is because the patient is being given medication. Which of us is right? Please help.

Well let me tell you my backstory. Since growing up, I have always been a husky kid. During Highschool I worked out and lost weighed and gained alot of muscle. I went from 200 lbs at the age of 14 to were I am at now at 165 at the age of 21 with abuilt body. My problem is that since the age of 14 till now I have always had a big chest. I stick out alot and I never felt that I have ever had a defined chest. Meaning that I can flex the upper part of the chest but not much definition in the bottom around the nipple. I always might have thought the reason why I can't have a defined chest is because it could be baby fat. But I have been reading about Gynecomastia. There are severe cases, but I don't feel like I have because when I raised both my arm while standing, my chest is flat. But when lowered the nipple area is soft and flabbly. I might be vain but I've been dealing with this since 14. Thank you for anyone who replys

I've been working out for the past 4 years and decided to take creatine to aid in building size and strength.

I guess my main concern is the problems that is associated with taking steroids. It increases heart size (because it is a muscle), and have known to cause heart failure amongst other effects.

Now, I do know that Nitric Oxide (NO2) and creatine are not steroids. So my question is, will taking NO2 (such as NO-Xplode) or creatine enlarge the heart? Are there any other concerns I should be worried about? Please list your sources also. Thanks everyone!

I know that NO2 contains caffeine (1 scoop = 8oz drip coffee) and the suggested use calls for 2-3 scoops.

I've been using splenda all over the place, but now i'm confused the main ingredient for Splenda is Dextrose...isn't that a just double glucose? Which is sugar....so basically Splenda has Sugar?
I know Sucralose is artificial...sugar/sweetener, and isn't digested...but dextrose is..and what is Maltodextrin.
I thought with splenda, i was going to lose weight, but no change, actually i got bigger.

why is it that those with restrictive disease can exhale 80% or more of FVC even though their FVC is reduced? and for those with obstructive pulmonary disease they exhale less than 80%? Thanks.

I have heard on the news that sooner or later, we all will be required to donate our organs when we die. As before we had the choice to do this.
Do you agree with this or disagree?

I'm asking this because I'm pursuing an advanced physics degree, which requires a lot of abstract thought. I started taking risperidone this summer, and haven't gotten back to school yet. I'm curious if there's a chance that it could cripple my performance.
