Medicine - September 2007

I have some questions on Methylphenidates for ninth grade health in Pennsylvania, particularlly focusing on the ADHD supportive drug, Concerta, and its incredibly quick-rising popularity as a recreational drug among the teen and adult audiences.

1. If you were to take three white 36 mg/g (I can't remember what the teacher said, I think it's mg), what kind of feelings/symptoms would I encounter?

2. Why do some people use it recreationally?

3. Is there a possibility of a nation/statewide law preventing the use of it?

4. Of the people who use it, what percentage develop an addiction? Is there even any kind of physical dependency for Concerta?

5. About how many of the above stated Concerta pills would it take for the average person to overdose?

6. If there is an psychological effect, how long does it last for one pill? Two pills? Three?

When, and if you answer these questions, please put the number of the question that the answers corresponds with.

Thank you, very much!!

How do you counteract tylenol and codeine when it is mixed or taken with alcohol (hard liquor not beer). No one has taken any but just curious because my wife usually has a shot or two as a night cap and is currently on codeine for pain.

Antibiotics is a chemical that kills a particular cell, by blocking cell production. Viruses are not cells. This is why you can't get rid of a cold.

Viruses invade one cell which produce a strand of DNA then codes for the production of more viral RNA (retroviruses) producing new viruses and eventually killing the cell and organism. There are about 10 trillion cells in the human body.

So how do you cure a virus?

I've been told by two doctors that I might have high blood pressure and to get it checked out. I constantly have readings of 135/70 areas. I was wondering if anyone knew why my diastolic pressure would be higher than normal and systolic lower than normal, or if there are any conditions this might be caused by. I am perfectly healthy and have been a gymnast for 12 years. I am in peak physical condition yet have this blood pressure. Thanks
