I was ill and took Panadol. Had a can of Coke as well. Eyes swelled up and had to be taken to Hospital. I didn't know that you shouldn't mix! Is anyone else aware that they shouldnt mix Coca cola with certain drugs? Any other advice they can give me?

Not everyone has the same reactions as you do. Get an allergie test done to find out what your allergic to.

I have recommended slightly fizzy drinks before for people suffering with Diahorrea and / or Sickness. But not very fizzy as it will just gas up in your stomach and wont really help the situation much. Coke is not the usual recommendation though, its usually Lemonade or Lucozade. The idea is that it replaces fluid and electrolytes lost when your sick and not eating/drinking normally. The sugar in fizzy drinks also helps by providing your body with energy, so ironically stops you feeling more nauseous than you already do. I dont really recommend coca cola, mainly due to the high amounts of caffine. It wont help the situation anymore than if you were drinking lemonade. Also only take it in sips, dont gulp as you will only get too much gas. Resting your stomach as much as possible when you are sick is the best treatment - small amounts of water, and slightly fizzy drinks will be plenty. Too much fluid and / or any attempts of food before your stomach is ready will prolong your sickness / diahorrea. Hope this helps and glad your better now !!

You can drink ANYTHING your heart desires! BUT.. and i repeat BUT, DO NOT... drink while taking your pain killers!!!!! That could be suicidal, if you do. Your asking for trouble, if you drink alcohol while taking (ANY) your pain meds! SO DONT.... do both!!!!!!

I was in a relationship with a cocaine addict. I got out of it after MY health became an issue due to the stress he was causing ME. I know it may sound uncaring, but you have to look out for yourself.

Its a cheap form of amphetimine (an ingredient in soe cold medicines). It keeps you up, speeds up your heart rate and so on and is generally used to provide energy of to keep you awake (so that you can stay up to enjoy the night). Its basically impossible to overdose and isnt anywhere near as dangerous as something like cocaine (or even cigarettes). The issue with use is that impurities can be mixed in and these can be really bad. The trick if youre going to try it is to make sure you know the person youre getting it from

Find a 24 hour pharmacy like Wal-greens or CVS and call now and ask the pharmacist.  \n\nI mix alot of stuff but that doesn't sound right.\n\n\n\nAlso - I was on Cymbalta for awhile and that stuff made me CRAZY when I drank 3-4 alcoholic beverages.

No because digestive acid has a lower pH than coke.  Also, the coke would enter the bloodstream.

Watch out! What do you mean by using coke, once in a while or regularly? In the last case, you better watch out really well. Coke, after a while,  creates personality changes, can make people violent and very paranoia, even psychotic. \nYou say that you are afraid of the future, well, if he uses cocaine regularly, you should worry!

I have a copy of the book mentioned by Jenny K. Although most of th e book reads like an informercial ("if you want to hear more about this, please visit my website...") it does raise some interesting questions on food additives&#92;food addictions.\n\nTo answer your question: IN my personal experience, diet colas, caffeineated or not, will likely lead to a poor food choice. Whether it is the sweetner, insulin reaction theory, or just the simple fact that I am habituated to eat these things in tandem with diet colas, it really doesn;t matter to me, I screw up, that's what counts.

I haven't taken Effexor myself, my brother is still taking it, I have been through withdrawals with him, it wasn't nice. In his case, he wouldn't keep up on his re-fills...... BINGO!! He would end up being out of those nasty drugs,having to call the Doctor, I expect you know the drill. I can tell you this, be careful, if you've been on 150mgs. or more, you risk a reaction from doing it cold turkey. I know their capsules, so it is hard to take smaller amounts, all the ones I've seen are capsules. Because of the dangers of coming off cold, you're going to have to do what I did for my brother.....ween yourself off of them. Before my brother started them, I had never heard of them, now I have a healthy respect for them....or should I say an unhealthy respect, that's a hell of a drug. Even if you have to take them apart and put a small amount in coffee or pop, I admire what you're doing, I don't blame you for wanting off of them, but PLEASE do it slowly. GOOD LUCK!!

gee-i don't know; but I think u should call Poison Control Center immediately OR CALL emergency room at hospital immediately & ask them; some med's do not mix well with vodka/alcohol. i don't know if 150 mgs of ambien is a high dose or not and i also am not familiar with Lunest; u need to type in  Lunest and also ambien under search (or get someone else to) & see if that's high doses;   WAIT:  DIDN'T YOU SAY:  lUNEST:  15 (3 MG. PILLS) ?  - I THINK U BETTER CALL EMERGENCY  ROOM very SOON.  NO TIME TO WAIT!!\nBEST WISHES!!!!!!

yes it is that bad worse than coke or heroin.  Do you know what that stuff is made of??? And who would want to put that in their bodies????  P.S.  Yet is the operative word.

no, but if you took Tylenol with codeine you will.  My dad failed a test for coke and had to bring the doctor prescription in to prove that he had a legit reason to be taking the codeine (since it's controlled)  He hadn't taken the codeine for over three weeks when he took the drug test, I guess it just stays in your system for a long time.

I know that medical Dr's must care about people because of all that they do for people and we can count on them when we have emergency's and we need their help. If you are like any one, you have seen the down right stupid commercials they have for drugs. I really hope most people can see right through the scare tactics of the drug companies. Whatever new disease they put out there that they just happen to have the medicine for. I mean does it really  make any good sense to put a man made chemical(Drug) into your body to fix it.. I go to get regular chiropractic adjustments to keep my nervous system functioning better, and take natural medicines.. I don't get all the coughs, sniffles, and junk my co workers all around  me do either. If you do the research on it and not just listen to what the main stream public does, you will only benefit yourself.  Drug companies and Dr's go hand in hand.. Think about it.. To the person that answered after me, If you read the very first line of the paragraph I acknowledged that Dr's do care.. They must.. Did you skip that part?

You gotta mix them and take them the way your doctor says.\n\nWhy? Because the doctor has to tinker with the mix to maximize the effective treatment for YOUR symptoms.  You're not helping by playing medicine cabinet pharmacist with this process.\n\nYou have a complex medical problem, so let the pros mix the prescriptions -- that'll be better for you, really.
