You did not say why you are taking either of these medications.\nhowever, Agnus Castus is normally used in treating women's conditions, requiring hormone regulation, Caution; do not use Agnus Castus if taking hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills.\nEltroxin or Thyroxine Sodium, marketed in the UK as Eltroxin and, in the US, as Synth\nIn the US, the food and drug administration is seriously considering a withdrawal of the drug because it has "a history of problems" and cannot be recognised as "safe and effective".\nThe drug treats Hypothyroidism when the thyroid under performs by drip feeding exact amounts synthetic thyroxine. Its a delicate balance and one that often goes askew, when it does, the thyroid will not do all that it should or go into overdrive. The FDA noted that "Synthroid has not been reliably potent and stable". As a result, "patients receive tablets that are filled with a product of unpredictable potency" and so "therapy with Thyroxine Sodium is neither safe nor effective".

Buspar blocks certain neurotransmitters in the brain associated with anxiety. As with any medication you can over do it if you take too much. however ,it is not a controlled substance like Xanex or Klonopin. I was on it before and it did not help me but my friend also takes it and it helps cut down her nervousness. So every person is different . About the weight issue, it seemed to make me gain weight but like every medication it depends on the person and how they react to that particular pill.

Topamax in some people will cause significant weight loss, and sometimes amenorrhea ( no period). It is a great antiseizure medicine, short of that. You might have to look for an alternative seizure medicine if you want to conceive.

You probably needed to go off the Effexor slower.  \n\nI would start the Topomax as was directed by your doctor.  It might help with the moodiness, irritablitiy, etc...\n\nI was on Topomax (to help with the weight gain of my Bipolar meds) but honestly, it did not do anything!!!  I did not lose a pound....\n\nJust because a med says it is for something, it does not mean that doctors do not use it for other conditions.  Look at the antipsychotics....they were made for schizaphrenia, but everyone takes them now...depressed people, bipolar people, etc.\n\nAlso CALL YOUR DOCTOR for an appointment sooner

Tramadol is the generic form of Ultram. It is a class 4 narcotic & thus is still able to become habit forming. Lortabs are a different drug, although both are used to teat pain, lortabs do a better job because they are indeed stronger.

NO NO NO  - not at bed time! \n\nUniretic is a for high blood pressure. it is a Combination drug with Ace I and HCTZ. Hctz is a diuretics. Diuretics work by getting rid of extra fluid in your body by increasing your urine output, and thus decrease your blood pressure.  and nobody would want to take a diuretics at night b/c it makes you go to the bathroom!!  \n\nif you want to take both together at the same time for Convenience. yes, it is ok, take both of them in the MORNING! don't take the uniretic at night!

Since FDA approval for migraines in 2004, Topamax® (topiramate) has become one of the most commonly prescribed migraine drugs. Although not widely appreciated, it can increase your risk for kidney stones.\n\nTriamterene used in some blood pressure medication can also contribute to kidney stone formation. \n\nCrixivan forms crystals in the urine, which occurs in as many as 40% of people taking this drug. This can cause kidney stones...\n\nExcess intake of vitamin D and use of diuretics can cause kidney stones to form.

yes, people can built a tolorence to any type of drug.  in fact, protonix should not be used beyond 16 weeks without taking a break. also, you should not use aspirin while on protonix, the aspirin will decrease that effects that protonix is suppose to do,

If he's getting topotecan, he must have small cell lung cancer.  And, he's probably already tried Cisplatin, Etoposide, and Camptosar.  Did he already get Whole brain irradiation?\n\nTopotecan is approved 2nd line for SCLC.  It's usually not as successful as other treatments, but if it's for salvage treatment, your f-i-l may not have too many other choices.  It can be given daily for five days, or weekly (which seems, in my experience, to be better tolerated).  It can cause low blood counts.  Good luck to him.\n\nGamma knife is good if he is a candidate.  Depends on how many lesions are in his brain.  The great thing about gamma knife is that it does not damage the surrounding brain tissue.  Most chemotherapy does not pass the "blood brain barrier" and is not good for brain mets.  The exception to this is an oral chemo called "temodar".  I have seen some lung cancer patients take this medicine, although it's not really approved for anything but primary brain cancer.  If there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in his body, it may be an option, but not while he is taking topotecan.  you cannot take both together, I don't think.

I've been taking prednisone for quite a while for my rheumatoid arthritis.  It helps with the pain a lot, but after taking it for a period of time, you body may build an immunity to it.  Try taking aleve for a few weeks, then switch back to prednisone.  Aleves active ingredient is Naproxen.  It's an anti inflamatory that works well with any kind of joint or bone pain.  after that, switch back.  You won't want to increase your dose of prednisone without your doctors consent.  If I were you though, ask your doctor if there is anything else that you can take instead of prednisone.  As I said before, it works great for pain, but there are a lot of side affects that can be associated with it such as moonface, necrosis, and even diabetes.  \nP.S. Its not going to be easy to ween you off that stuff though.  You cant suddenly quit taking it.  If you do, you may experience flare ups with your pain.  Ask your doctor for information on how to get off it.

You can take the St. John's Wort but just mention it to your doctor first.  If you are taking any antidepressants already, there may be an interaction beteen the, and the Wort do don't take them both together. Good luck...
