Depakote: for the past couple refills I have noticed a few missing out of each bottle. I have a 17 year old son and I don't want to automatically point the finger at him becuase I dont even know if depakote can even be abused?Does anyone know anything about it?
The lowest price for quality medicine:Depakote without a prescription
Yes I think it would have an interesting affect on someone not diagnosed.. with whatever your diagnosed.I want to say bi-polar?The military thought I was bi-polar and prescibed that junk and it had a strange affect on me.
I have never heard of anyone taking Depakote for recreational purposes, but I suppose anything is possible. If you suspect that your son might be taking medication from you, you should start locking them up. That isn't the kind of stuff he should be messing around with.
an overdose can cause hallucinations, flapping tremors of hands coma and deathcause drowiness is classified as an anticonvulsant and antimanci for petit mal and absence seziures and bipolar
you better check it out because over doses of depakote can be dangerousi know i take depakote for bipolar
I took Depakote for a period of time for migraine prevention, but the side effects were not anything that I would consider a recreational user would pursue, especially if only a few out of each bottle, but it could be just experimentation. I'm not sure I'd talk to him unless I had a real reason to suspect him - I think I'd talk to the pharmacist first. They would be the most knowledgeable and they would also know if it was possible for the prescription to be off (I've noticed my current prescription to be a pill over or short lately myself and there's no one here but my husband and I know he's not interested.)I know you want to trust your son, but in the meantime, keep an eye out though, better safe than sorry.
Children do not need drug dealers anymore.they can just look in the medicine cabinet. Lock up your meds! You may save his life. Then you need to have a talk with him about drugs.
depakote? anyone ever taken it? whats it for and have u had good or bad effects.
usually, depakote is for mental disorders, such a bipolar (aka manic depression), but it has also been used to tx seizures and a number of other disorders. If u take it, ask MD why?
lolol mike youre funny. but depakote is primarily anti seizure but can be used for some mental disorders. therapuetic effect would be more calmer, stable mood, and no seizure. most common side effect are tremors, headache, constipation and diarrhea
Can depakote interfere with your thyroid blood tests? I have the understanding that Depakote is not only to treat depression but is said to help those with thyroid symptoms andpeople who get migraines. If a person has all the symptoms of hyperthyroid and a nodule is found on their thyroid but they have been on depakote because it was thought they were manic depressive. Then when they go in for their thyroid tests theirthyroid tests come back normal. Could the depakote be interfering with their thyroid test results?
I can't find anything that states that Depakote is said to help those with thyroid symptoms. I can't see how it could possibly help either. It is extremely common for hyperthyroidism to be misdiagnosed as a mental illness such as bipolar though, due to laziness on the part of the doctor, and unwillingness to run the right tests.This is from the product insert:PRECAUTIONSThere have been reports of altered thyroid function tests associated with valproate. The clinical significance of these is unknown.CNS EffectsIrregular menses, secondary amenorrhea, breast enlargement, galactorrhea, and parotid gland swelling. Abnormal thyroid function tests (see PRECAUTIONS).
How does the epilepsy medication Depakote affect unborn children? I have heard some recent studies about the side effects of Depakote and that it might cause certain birth defects. I am wondering if someone has medical information on what it is in the medication that causes these birth defects and why? What is the mechanism or active ingredient that is suspect?
The active ingredient in Depakote and many other anticonvulsant-type medications is valproic acid. Valproic acid has been linked to specifically inhibiting the closure of the spinal cord during early fetal development, causing what is known as a neural tube birth defect. The most common neural tube birth defect that people are familiar with is spina bifida. Because the neural tube formation occurs during the first 3 - 4 weeks of fetal development, women taking Depakote should be advised to be especially diligent with birth control because they might become pregnant while taking the drug and before they realize the pregnancy, the neural tube formation damage has already occurred. VPA is a histone deacetylase inhibitor and is also under development as a treatment for HIV and various cancers. Valproic acid is what is known as a "folate antagonist", which means it inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an enzyme involved in the formation of nucleotides. When this enzyme is blocked, nucleotides are not formed, which disrupts DNA replication and cell division - hence the spinal cord does not close and the result is a neural tube malformation or spina bifida.In this way Valproic acid almost mimics a lack of Folic acid. Folic acid is essential for pregnant women and deficiencies can also cause neural tube defects. Good resources for more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valproic_acid
What is the best antidepressant to take with depakote? Also, how long does depakote take to work? and can it be used alone for depression as well as mania?
it takes a few days to start working.it is not used alone for depression or mania, because it's job is to prevent mania, so an anti-depressant must be prescribed to prevent depression, and an anti-psychotic is used to help prevent mania as well.when used as a treatment for insomnia, it can be taken alone.the best anti-depressant to take with depakote is wellbutrin because it can cause weight loss, and that can help combat the weight gain from the depakote
Contrary to what the person said above, Depakote is frequently used to treat the manic phase of bipolar disorder so, this is possible. The drug has been reported to have quite a few side effects though, so I would examine all your options and talk to your doctor about other forms of treatment.

Interesting information about Clozaril. Maybe you will learn something useful.
clozaril? I have become weak and fat after taking clozaril for 4 months.it had no effect on me so my doctor told me to start taking stelazine.stelazine is working.but how do I regain my strength and become slim?
Place your order: buy Clozaril without a prescription
Unfortunately, psychotropics can and do cause weight gain. As far as becoming weak, you probably are sitting around a lot more and the longer you sit and do nothing, the more weakness you may feel.The best possible way to increase your strength and decrease you weight is diet and exercise. Start slowly, consult your primary care physician, and good luck. The weight will come off.
How good is the medicine clozaril? I begun to take clozaril , is a week now , I feel so uncoordinated and heavy is it going to be like this forever?
Clozaril is effective, but has a lot of side effects. This comes from the Clozaril web site:Side Effects Associated with CLOZARIL As with any medication, certain side effects are associated with CLOZARIL. Some of the side effects that have been reported when therapy is started disappear with time or after the healthcare professional adjusts the dosage. In some cases the side effects require treatment. The healthcare professional, or another member of the treatment team, can give advice on how to recognize potential side effects and what to do about them.In addition to agranulocytosis (the most serious side effect associated with CLOZARIL), the following side effects have been reported: Seizures or convulsions: The higher the dosage, the greater the risk of seizures. Also, people who have had seizures in the past are more likely to have them with CLOZARIL. If a person suffers a seizure, he or she should tell their healthcare professional at once. Fast or irregular heartbeat: If this happens, the dosage may be reduced, or this side effect may be treated with another medication. Myocarditis (an inflammation of a muscle in the heart): The risk is greatest during the first month of CLOZARIL therapy. Orthostatic hypotension (a fall in blood pressure when suddenly standing up): The risk is highest when treatment with CLOZARIL is started. Other less serious reported side effects are drowsiness, heavy drooling, headache, constipation, fever, fatigue, nausea, and weight gain. Because healthcare professionals are familiar with these and other possible side effects, they can offer advice on relieving them.
Clozaril and wetting the bed - is there a side effect med for that? I'm contemplating going back on Clozaril because of the akathisia problem with other meds, but I do remember that Clozaril made me wet the bed in the morning at least 2x a week. Is there a medication I can take to counteract that side effect?My mom did restrict me from fluids after 6pm when I was on it to try to abate the side effect but it didn't work.
You'd have to ask your prescribing doctor or pharmacist. There are a couple different classes of meds that can sometimes help with bedwetting -- an anticholinergic (Detrol, etc.) to relax the bladder, an antidiuretic (Desmopressin) to reduce urine output, or even tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine) are helpful for some people. Since your problem seems to be pharmacologically treated, it should be possible that one of those other meds could help control this -- BUT you want to be very sure that the two meds you are taking can safely be taken together, and won't cause (for example) kidney damage from excessive water retention or something like that when taken at the same time. That's where your doctor or pharmacist comes in. :) Good luck!
Can clozaril cause weight gain? I've read about atypical antipsychotics on a lot of websites, talking about how they can cause weight gain. But, I've never read about weight gain with Clozaril. Can clozaril cause weight gain?
I just googled clozaril weight gain, and sure enough, it does. All antipsychotics cause weight gain and cardiovascular harm and if you google andreasen antipsychotics, you'll find antipsychotics shrink your brain too. She's a pillar of the psychiatric community. Antipsychotics should be an option only in the most desperate cases because they shorten your lifespan.The Lancet, which is a prestigious British medical Journal, just had an editorial about how harmful this class of drugs is, and should be used as short a time as possible and acknowledges the grave physical harms of these drugs. Many psychiatrists feel antipsychotics are very overprescribed now. Nancy Andreasen is a mainstream researcher, not anti-psychiatry at all. Psychiatrists are supposed to have patients on antipsychotics get tested for cholesterol, diabetes abnormal heartbeat, etc, but only 20% do this, according to the APA, the American Psychiatric Association. The psychiatrist who works in my therapist's office does all this testing. Yes.Clozaril causes weight gain just like any other atypical anti-psychotics.It messes with metabolism and makes people hungrier.But don't be scared by all the horror stories you read. The anti-psychiatry movement has its followers, but the vast majority of psychiatrists and other doctors believe in the meds they prescribe.I am on Clozaril and I have not experienced any adverse side effects except for sedation immediately after taking it (I have lost weight while on it)If someone is put on clozaril, then they most likely really need it.
How does Clozaril lower white blood cells and did I spell it write
? Clozaril induced Agranulocytosis: The actual mechanism is unknown. So, there is no answer other than speculation. We have patients, occasionally, on Clozaril. You have to make sure they are registered and that their labs are in order before supplying. It can be a pain to get those patients their meds.

There are no known interactions between chloramphenicol and the ingredients in Midol, and chloramphenicol and alcohol. However, it does not mean that no interactions exist so if you do experience any odd symptoms please see your doctor. drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=579-0,1034-14582,34-9933
My dog has conjunctivitis, what treatments can i use? Hi,our dog has conjunctivitis, it happens every now and again as being a border collie she is extremely active and gets into everything. The vet always prescribes Chloromycetin - every time. This costs us nearly £30 a time by the time we pay for the consultation and the drops - which have to be destroyed after 28 days so can't be used the next time. Are there any over the counter medicines we could use?For example Optrex Infected Eyes contains the same active ingredient Chloramphenicol, could we use this?
go to the chemist and ask for some golden eye . mate works in vets and says its basically the same as what the vet prescribes except its a hell of a lot cheaper ! Just because a medication has the same active ingredient as another, does not mean that the human version of an Rx has the same potency, concentration, or results as an animals. My advice would be ask your vet because you could cause more problems than necessary. I also recommend reading an actual book on your pet. You will find more accurate and complete information about this than you will here. Anyway, what is money when it comes to your pet's health. Don't know if it is available in your area or not, but in the U.S. , Terramycin is available at most larger pet stores. It is an antibiotic salve meant for the eyes. If I know what I need for my pet and don't deem it necessary to pay a consultation fee I just go to my nearest chemist and describe the problems to the pharmacist, i.e. rubbing the eyes, streaming, discharge and i will say he's had the problem before can they help he will automatically assume it is for a child and advise you use whatever but check with your doctor if symptoms persist, that will sort the dog out no problem, let's be honest it's more likely been tested on animals before it come onto the market for us to use anyway! A little milk and boiled water or a touch of salt in boiled water will help clean them up but conjunctivitis is highly contagious and it needs treated. Call your vet.Don't cut corners when it comes to your dog's care and don't self-medicate. Your dog could go blind with some of these remedies. Would that be worth it to you to save a little money? If money is a problem, ask your vet for a payment plan. yes you can use optrex i do for my g s d shes always getting eye problems its cheaper and somtimes more affective than meds from the vets good luck with this.

Where to buy Captopril without a prescription ?
What is the difference between captopril and enalapril? My grandma switched her medications. She is taking the generic captopril instead of hypace.
Buying Captopril without a prescription online is an alternative that allows to save time and money. Captopril and enalapril are both ACE inhibitors yes. for hypertension. Their major difference is the effect. Captopril is a short acting drug while enalapril is a long acting drug. You should tell your grand mother to ask her doctor first. Although captopril and enalapril are both anti-hypertensive and with the same class, there can be possible problems.
Has anyone had trouble with taking captopril and novolog? My levels seem to rise when taking captopril and novolog. I was wondering if anyone else had this result?
The hypoglycemic effect of insulin may be potentiated by certain drugs, including ACE inhibitors, anabolic steroids, fibrates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), salicylates, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), sulfonamides, disopyramide, propoxyphene, quinine, and quinidine. These drugs may increase the risk of hypoglycemia by enhancing insulin sensitivity (ACE inhibitors, fibrates); stimulating insulin secretion (salicylates, disopyramide, quinine, quinidine, MAOIs); increasing peripheral glucose utilization (SSRIs, insulin-like growth factor); and/or inhibiting gluconeogenesis (SSRIs, MAOIs, insulin-like growth factor). Clinical hypoglycemia has been reported during use of these agents alone or with insulin and/or insulin secretagogues.Close monitoring for the development of hypoglycemia is recommended if these drugs are coadministered with insulin, particularly in patients with advanced age and/or renal impairment. The insulin dosage may require adjustment if an interaction is suspected. Patients should be apprised of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, hunger, tremor, weakness, sweating, palpitations), how to treat it, and to contact their physician if it occurs. Patients should be observed for loss of glycemic control when these drugs are withdrawn.
Why when taking captopril should you not touch your eyes until washing hands thoroughly ? What is in it that affects the eyes? Can it cause floaters in the eyes?
I've never heard that before and I tried to look it up but couldn't find information on it. I'm really curious and I'll try to ask some of my professors. My only guess is that since it causes vasodilation (relaxation of blood vessels), it could possibly have that effect in the eyes if it got in your eyes. Again, that's just a guess. As with any vasodilator, intercellular fluid accumulation is possible. It is not a very common side effect, but never the less, it is still a good idea to wash your hands before rubbing your eyes. If you don't, you may experience ocular angioedema through prolonged exposure.It does not cause floaters aside from the potential that increased pressure and decreased blood flow/oxygen can result in visual disturbance.
What are the different functional groups found in captopril? Describe the contribution of each functional groups to the properties and functions of the organic compound why was the hypertensive drug captopril replaced with second generation ACE inhibitors?
Simple. Look at the dosing schedule. Captopril is dosed 3-4 times daily. Newer meds like Ramipril, only 1 or 2 times daily.
How is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor such as captopril as effective as an antihypertensive?
Angiotensin-1 gets converted to higher forms like angotensin-2 with more potent effects. Angiotensin is a powerful vasoconstrictor which the body uses to raise and control bp. If you limit the forms of angiotensin in the body you will limit the vasoconstrictor effects and thus lower blood pressure. As a side note a vasoconstrictor is a chemical that makes the hole in a blood vessel, usually an artery, smaller and this will greatly raise blood pressure.
Explain how an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) such as captopril would be effective? Explain how an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) such as captopril would be effective as an antihypertensive
. One of the many systems that regulates blood pressure is the angiotensin enzymes. ACE activates these enzymes and causes them to constrict the blood vessels and raise blood pressure. ACE inhibitors prevent this from happening and prevent the blood vessels from constricting. This keeps pressure from being raised due to angiotensin enzymes. After a few weeks, the ACE inhibitor can decrease average blood pressure pretty well
Why can't you take antiacids when you are taking Captopril?
Most antiacids have calcium carbonate in them. This is an alkaline buffer which neutralizes stomach acid to help with acid disorders (dyspepsia and esophageal reflux). Many drugs require stomach acid for absorption and this is a possible mechanism of interference. In most cases however, calcium carbonate forms complexs with drugs preventing or significantly delaying their absorption. Sometimes even the calcium from milk can interfere (tetracycline antibiotics for example)
What would you like to ask?is captopril similar with quinalapril? Does captopril causes retention of bradykinin?
Mechanism of ActionCompetitive inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE); prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor; results in lower levels of angiotensin II which causes an increase in plasma renin activity and a reduction in aldosterone secretion.Yes it causes urinary retention. captopril can it get you high? Can it?
Cantrell reduceses blood pressure, taking too many might reduce your blood pressure to dangerous levels. There is no high associated with this medicine.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captopril
Buying Captopril without a prescription online is an alternative that allows to save time and money. Captopril and enalapril are both ACE inhibitors yes. for hypertension. Their major difference is the effect. Captopril is a short acting drug while enalapril is a long acting drug. You should tell your grand mother to ask her doctor first. Although captopril and enalapril are both anti-hypertensive and with the same class, there can be possible problems.
Has anyone had trouble with taking captopril and novolog? My levels seem to rise when taking captopril and novolog. I was wondering if anyone else had this result?
The hypoglycemic effect of insulin may be potentiated by certain drugs, including ACE inhibitors, anabolic steroids, fibrates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), salicylates, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), sulfonamides, disopyramide, propoxyphene, quinine, and quinidine. These drugs may increase the risk of hypoglycemia by enhancing insulin sensitivity (ACE inhibitors, fibrates); stimulating insulin secretion (salicylates, disopyramide, quinine, quinidine, MAOIs); increasing peripheral glucose utilization (SSRIs, insulin-like growth factor); and/or inhibiting gluconeogenesis (SSRIs, MAOIs, insulin-like growth factor). Clinical hypoglycemia has been reported during use of these agents alone or with insulin and/or insulin secretagogues.Close monitoring for the development of hypoglycemia is recommended if these drugs are coadministered with insulin, particularly in patients with advanced age and/or renal impairment. The insulin dosage may require adjustment if an interaction is suspected. Patients should be apprised of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, hunger, tremor, weakness, sweating, palpitations), how to treat it, and to contact their physician if it occurs. Patients should be observed for loss of glycemic control when these drugs are withdrawn.
Why when taking captopril should you not touch your eyes until washing hands thoroughly ? What is in it that affects the eyes? Can it cause floaters in the eyes?
I've never heard that before and I tried to look it up but couldn't find information on it. I'm really curious and I'll try to ask some of my professors. My only guess is that since it causes vasodilation (relaxation of blood vessels), it could possibly have that effect in the eyes if it got in your eyes. Again, that's just a guess. As with any vasodilator, intercellular fluid accumulation is possible. It is not a very common side effect, but never the less, it is still a good idea to wash your hands before rubbing your eyes. If you don't, you may experience ocular angioedema through prolonged exposure.It does not cause floaters aside from the potential that increased pressure and decreased blood flow/oxygen can result in visual disturbance.
What are the different functional groups found in captopril? Describe the contribution of each functional groups to the properties and functions of the organic compound why was the hypertensive drug captopril replaced with second generation ACE inhibitors?
Simple. Look at the dosing schedule. Captopril is dosed 3-4 times daily. Newer meds like Ramipril, only 1 or 2 times daily.
How is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor such as captopril as effective as an antihypertensive?
Angiotensin-1 gets converted to higher forms like angotensin-2 with more potent effects. Angiotensin is a powerful vasoconstrictor which the body uses to raise and control bp. If you limit the forms of angiotensin in the body you will limit the vasoconstrictor effects and thus lower blood pressure. As a side note a vasoconstrictor is a chemical that makes the hole in a blood vessel, usually an artery, smaller and this will greatly raise blood pressure.
Explain how an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) such as captopril would be effective? Explain how an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) such as captopril would be effective as an antihypertensive
. One of the many systems that regulates blood pressure is the angiotensin enzymes. ACE activates these enzymes and causes them to constrict the blood vessels and raise blood pressure. ACE inhibitors prevent this from happening and prevent the blood vessels from constricting. This keeps pressure from being raised due to angiotensin enzymes. After a few weeks, the ACE inhibitor can decrease average blood pressure pretty well
Why can't you take antiacids when you are taking Captopril?
Most antiacids have calcium carbonate in them. This is an alkaline buffer which neutralizes stomach acid to help with acid disorders (dyspepsia and esophageal reflux). Many drugs require stomach acid for absorption and this is a possible mechanism of interference. In most cases however, calcium carbonate forms complexs with drugs preventing or significantly delaying their absorption. Sometimes even the calcium from milk can interfere (tetracycline antibiotics for example)

Buy cheap Isordil without a prescription
What can I use if my body becomes tolerant to Isordil 5mg? I'm waiting for a by-pass operation in about six weeks and I need to put one these little pills under my tongue when ever my chest pain appears. It varies between 1 up to 4 in the mornings. PM I'm fine. A pill takes about 5 minutes to relieve the pain.

What are you meaning by tolerant? Isordil (Isosorbide) is used to prevent or treat chest pain by relaxing the blood vessels to the heart, so the blood and oxygen supply to the heart is increased. It's not just a pain killer. I wouldn't try taking anything else without talking to your doctor and clearing it with them first. Many painkillers are/contain NSAIDs and many can't be taken by people with heart conditions. Have you ever had a sleep study to make sure you are breathing alright at night. Your heart might be working extra hard due to oxygen deprivation while you sleep.The med you are using is isosorbide dinitrate (Isordil). You could talk to you prescriber about using isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur) taken once in the morning and once in the late afternoon/early evening. This could preclude the anginal pain from happening in the first place. Six weeks might give you enough time to avoid a bypass operation if you start doing something to correct the problem now.You need to dramatically increase your water and salt intake. Yes, I know what doctors are saying about salt, but it's a myth.Clogged arteries are caused by dehydration. When you don't drink enough water, the blood can thicken and become acidic. This acidic blood causes tiny cuts and abrasions to the inside of the artery walls that could peel off and cause an embolism in the brain or other major organ. In response to this, the body produces cholesterol to act as a patch or band-aid to protect the damaged areas until repairs can be made.Unfortunately, this is a quiet process and doesn't give any warning signs until it's been allowed to build up and require medical intervention.Water and salt are two of the most important substances that sustain life, so taking these won't hurt you, even if it does no good (which it will). You have nothing to lose by doing it, and everything to gain. Also, because water and salt are natural to the body and in such abundance, they will not interfere with any medications you're taking.To explain the salt myth, when you get high blood pressure (also due to dehydration) and the blood thickens because water has been borrowed from the blood, the blood thickens (as when the cholesterol becomes elevated). But since water and salt are mixed in the body, when the water gets filtered out to inject into the cells, the salt remains. This is what doctors perceive to be "excess" salt. They see that this concentration of salt only happens to people with heart problems and attribute it to being the cause.But they're looking at it backwards. It was because the body became dehydrated that the water was borrowed from the blood and, ultimately, the salt became concentrated. The raise in blood pressure has nothing to do with the salt. Pumping the thickened blood through narrower arteries is what causes the blood pressure to go up.Click on the link below to learn how to corr3ct the problem. There's a very good chance that you can avoid such a dangerous surgery.
what is the use of the drug name isordil? what is the use and contraindication of isordil? If you had a coronary artery block of 30% and $40%? Last Year! How would it be gone a year later? And I have just started on Isordil and it actually helps my chest pains. My Doctor thinks it's my lungs, but I still think it is my heart. Help? If you had a 40% blockage in one of your coronary arteries you more than likely will not notice any effects until the artery becomes 80 to 90%. The best none evasive test to see if you have any calcium build up in your arteries is to have an MRA or MRI taken. It will not give the percentage of blockage but will tell you if their is some build up in a particular artery. All other test are only one step in trying to find out if you have enough blockage to warrant surgery. The one evasive test which will tell you for sure and is about 95% accurate is a angiogram. Any other test your doctor says you need, they can only guess at even if you pass them, the heart tends to give false negative reports and is up to a team of cardiologist to give their opinions and every one wil have a slightly different one depending on their evaluation of what each one decides. So do a lot of reseach on your won and don't be affraid to ask questions even if your doctor tends to get mad at you. They don't like to answer to many guestions.Because they want you to think they have all the answers and your waisting their time. What ever you do don't except a blood transfusion.You don't need one. I have had 5 major surgeries with out blood. It's called none blood medical management. I will sent you some information on it if you want. Sincerely yours, Fred M. Hunter
