Possible side effect with St. John's Wort

THE SEROTONIN SYNDROME \n\n"The serotonin syndrome is a hypersotonergic state which is a very dangerous and a potentially fatal side effect of serotonergic enhancing drugs which can have multiple psychiatric and non-psychiatric symptoms. It is a condition which has been on the rise since the 1960's when we began using more and more drugs which directly affect serotonin. This is a toxic condition which requires heightened clinical awareness in order to prevent, recognize, and treat the condition promptly. Promptness is vital because, as we just mentioned, the serotonin syndrome can be fatal and death from this side effect can come very rapidly. This syndrome is a toxic hyperserotonergic state whose rate of incidence is unknown, but is on the rise. The suspected cause of that increase is the introduction of the new selective serotonergic enhancing agents in clinical practice - the SSRIs. This disorder, brought on by excessive levels of serotonin, is difficult to distinguish from the neuroleptic malignant syndrome because the symptoms are so similar. The neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a serious condition brought on by the use of the neuroleptic drugs. \n\n"The symptoms of the serotonin syndrome are: euphoria, drowsiness, sustained rapid eye movement, overreaction of the reflexes, rapid muscle contraction and relaxation in the ankle causing abnormal movements of the foot, clumsiness, restlessness, feeling drunk and dizzy, muscle contraction and relaxation in the jaw, sweating, intoxication, muscle twitching, rigidity, high body temperature, mental status changes were frequent (including confusion and hypomania - a "happy drunk" state), shivering, diarrhea, loss of consciousness and death. (The Serotonin Syndrome, AM J PSYCHIATRY, June 1991)\n\n"The serotonin syndrome is generally caused by a combination of two or more drugs, one of which is often a selective sertonergic medication. The drugs which we know most frequently contribute to this condition are the combining of MAOIs with Prozac (this should also include the other SSRIs) or other drugs that have a powerful effect upon serotonin, ie, clomipramine (Anafranil), trazadone (Deseryl), etc. The combination of lithium with these selective serotonergic agents has been implicated in enhancing the serotonin syndrome. The tricyclic antidepressants, lithium, MAOIs, SSRIs, ECT (electric shock treatment), tryptophan, and the serotonin agonists (fenfluramine) all enhance serotonin neurotransmission and can contribute to this syndrome. Anything which will raise the level of serotonin can bring on this hyperserotonergic condition. The optimal treatment for the serotonin syndrome is discontinuation of the offending medication or medications, offer supportive measures, and wait for the symptoms to resolve. If the offending medication is discontinued, the condition will often resolve on its own within a 24 hour period. If the medication is not discontinued the condition can progress rapidly to a more serious state and become fatal. It should be apparent that the greater the enhancement of serotonin levels, the greater the chances of producing the serotonin syndrome. Therefore it is recommended that Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Luvox, Serzone, etc. not be used concurrently with each other or any other serotonergic drugs and that these serious adverse reactions should be expected with these combinations (Callahan, 1993).

According to the PDR of herbal medicines, St. John's Wort does work as a mild anti-depressant that should not be used longer than 4 weeks. After that, if it's not working, you may need something stronger. Not knowing your particular situation, I would recommend working out the details with your doctor. The key reason for this is that there could be a negative counter-reaction between the anti-depressant you're taking and the herbal supplements.\n\nGood Luck!

Yes it sounds like yeast. A number of things can cause one. Stress, too much caffeine, staying moist, using a different soap or detergent, not cleaning up after intercourse. I would get them all the time. You can either call your doctor and tell  him you need the difflucan pill or you can try the creams at the store. I personally would call your doctor. Hope this helps!

There have been many studies for St. Johns wort, but none have lasted long enough for any real opinions to be made. Personally I have used it and think it helps. If you do decide that you want to take it make sure that you are not taking any other antidepressants at that time, and pregnant women shouldn't take it either. Also if you suffer from sever depression you need to see a doctor. Please remember that it is not monitored by the FDA so watch what you take, there can be a lack of consistency between each pill.

The most common side effects of colchicine involve the stomach and bowel and are dose related. These include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. One of the most worrisome side effects of colchicine is that it can damage the bone marrow causing severe anemia and seriously low white blood counts, thereby increasing the risk of infections. All patients taking colchicine long-term require blood count monitoring. Colchicine can also cause hair loss, weakness, and nerve irritation.... gout is at least twice as effective at lowering uric acid levels as the standard drug allopurinol. ..                . Febuxostat has a different chemical structure than colchicine.

I understand what you're going through as the same thing happened to me. I think it may be depression from the shock of what happened to you.\n\nI passed out on a night out with friends and since then I've been tired, unmotivated and just constantly dizzy and lethargic.\n\nI've been to them all Neurologist, etc. They found nothing and made me feel as though I was imagining what was happening to me. They told me I would snap out of it. Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nHowever, I've been doing my own research on line and I found out about 'ST. John's Wort' a meal supplement and herbal remedy for mild to moderate depression, which has really got me mentally and physically motivated again.\n\nCheck it out on line yourself.

The short answer is "no".  At a quick perusal, herballove.com seems to be a website dedicated to providing accurate, medical information about sexual dysfunctions, with the answers given by physicians.  The problem is many of the problems they address aren't medical problems, and most of what the experts say is complete nonsense (and I'm being very polite by not simply labeling it the browner parts of what comes out of the back end of a cow here).\n\nFor instance, there's no such thing as "overmasturbation"... and "leaky penis"?  I can only assume they're referring to the penis expelling some sort of pre-seminal fluid during sexual arousal (which is what they suggest it is).  I know lots of men who would suddenly complain of this problem if it was one.  Of course, it's not.  This "problem" is actually a perfectly normal function of the penis during intercourse, and there are several anatomical structures built into male anatomy (such as the cowper's gland) which are specifically designed to release pre-ejaculatory fluid, partially to neutralize the acidic pH of the urine present in the urethra and make the environment safer for sperm to pass through.  Not only is that "problem" not a problem, it's a sign your sexual anatomy is perfectly healthy and functioning normallly.\n\nTheir products, much like the some of the problems they are designed to address, make no sense.  If you read the ingredients, the first half of quite a few turn out to be nothing more than run of the mill multi-vitamins, which won't do you any harm under normal circumstances, but you might as well pay the two or three dollars and pop a Flintstone's chewable every day and be done with it if that's what you're after, and it should be noted in the case of vitamin A, E, and K... all of these vitamins are fat-soluble and can build up in your bodily tissues, eventually leading to toxic poisoning if you take high doses of them, so you shouldn't consume multiple supplements containing those vitamins, that even modest amounts of vitamin E can be dangerous if you have a cardiovascular condition and are on a standard regimen of anti-platelet aggregates to combat the problem (such as aspirin plus cumadin, warfarin, etc) and that if you smoke, you shouldn't take beta carotene, either, since it's been shown to significantly increase the risk of cancer in smokers.\n\nHerballove doesn't seem to address any of those concerns while being so informed and concerned about your health.\n\nAs for the "harmonizing herbal extract blend", none of it has FDA approval not because the FDA is biased against natural remedies (after all, a large percentage of drugs approved by the FDA are taken from botanical sources, which means they are, in essence, herbal extracts that passed scientific muster), but because these herbs have been shown time and time again, when you put them through standard medical testing, to do absolutely nothing.\n\nEven if they did have a positive effect on their own, quite a few have no business in the same formula with one another in quantities which could have an effect, and none probably appear in quantities sufficient to do anything but fill up a capsule and make it smell a bit funny.\n\nFor instance, saw palmetto, soy protein, and black cohosh all appear in their ViaGrowth III formula which is intended to stop that pesky "leaky penis".  The problem is all three of those ingredients are believed to aid primarily females because all three are supposed to be a sort of natural estrogen... not something you would want in an herbal remedy for a male problem (with the exception of saw palmetto, which is supposed to help with enlarged prostate... and I assure you an enlarged prostate won't lead to your penis leaking... if anything, it will prevent your penis from leaking enough, like, say, when you need to pee).  Siberian Ginseng is als

When I came off my medication for anxiety, I started taking St John's Wort and felt fantastic. It gave me loads of energy and kept me 'happy'. I have recommended it to loads of people, it works for some and not for others. Definitely don't stop taking your other medication until you have checked with your GP though, alot of drugs you need to be weaned off or you may get unpleasant side effects.

You might try Xango mangosteen juice. I know of several people with terrible deformed hands that ache with pain who have tried the juice and love it. My friend Dee said the pain was gone after taking 2 ounces three times a day before meals. That was after taking about 1 and a half bottles. Unfortunately, when she stopped drinking the juice her pain returned. She says she will drink it forever!

I am not a doctor but some people get good results with a herb which i will not name.  This information can probably  be located on Web MD, and i would also at the very least speak to a pharmacist in case  of herb, drug interactions.  Also Web MD probably can tell you, with something called symptom checker,  if what you have is depression

i have heard that it can...its one of the things i have read that in high does along with i think its blue kohash can be used to cause a herbal abortion in the first 3 weeks after conception.  might want to talk to a doctor about it to find out if there is any safe dose to take, although when pregant most things are not safe...and its better to be safe and not take anything than sorry and have a problem happen.

Rubbing Alcohol and move it as you add alcohol.  Watch for pus.  THAT will be a very bad sign.

The side effects are that of hyperventilation for most people. Above normal oxigen levels is toxic to the body. If only mildly over oxygenating, it's helping the injury/illness for the pre-hospital setting more than it's hurting the body.\n\nI've seen new EMT's give oxygen to a hyperventilation patient thinking that the patients complaint that they "couldn't breath" was the indication to give oxygen.  This causes various symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the hands, feet and lips, lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, chest pain, slurred speech and sometimes fainting.\n\nOxygen therapy must be prescribed with caution in COPD. In healthy people, breathing is triggered by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. However, in people with severe COPD, breathing may become controlled by an alternative system in which breathing is triggered by falling levels of oxygen in the blood. In this case, inhaling oxygen will tend to shut down breathing, with dangerous consequences.

I actually JUST experienced this very thing.  I am diabettic type 2 and just recently I had been experiencing frequent urination (every 10 minutes).  At first I thought the vaginal dryness and itching I was experiencing was because of the fact that I was wiping so frequently and also because of this new caramel creme shower gel that I was using.  I knew the frequent urination I was experiencing was due to my high sugar levels.  I'd also heard that people who are diabetic are more susceptible to frequent yeast infections or UTIs because of the glucose in their blood stream.  So, at first, I thought that was what I was experiencing-- a yeast infection.  I'd never had one in my life and did not know the exact symptoms or what to do.  There was no discharge or odor, only intense itching and dryness. \n\nAfter maybe two weeks, the dryness and itching seemed to disappear. I felt a lot better.  My fiance and I decided to have intercourse,  and I could not get wet.  I was still experiencing the dryness.  So-- he tried to lubricate me with his saliva.  The next day-- the itching and burning returned ten times as worse and I was totally irritated.  I thought I was going to die.  I tried a monistat 1 and that only slightly relieved the symptoms.  Finally, I went to the emergency room and explained that I thought I had a yeast infection due to high glucose levels. I told them that the symptoms increased after sexual activity, but that I was sure it was not an std because my boyfriend and I were virgins and had never been with anyone else other than each other.  They did tests and could not find a UTI nor could they diagnose the irritation as a "yeast infection" caused by Candida.  They diagnosed it as vaginitis, said I was just extremely irritated and prescribed a three pill antibiotic in case of bacterial infection and also an antifungal vaginal cream (prescriptive monistat per the pharmacist) in case of fungal infection. They also gave me a solution IV while in the hospital to bring my glucose level down, which stopped the severe unrination, which gave me some relief from the irritation.  It was like that entire area (kidneys and vaginal) was just completely irritated.\n\nSO--  right now I am finishing the antifungal cream.  The pharmacist told me that I could use it on the inside of the labia where I was experiencing the dryness and itching, so that it was I did, as opposed to using the applicator to insert the cream into my vaginea. After five days of doing that, though my symptoms seemed to have subsided drastically, I still did not feel 100% normal down there. So, I started to use the applicator to insert the cream.  I am on day four.  After the solution IV to bring my glucose down, the antibiotic, the monistat 1 and now the prescription antifungal, I STILL do not feel 100% like before.  I am still dry and that has NEVER been a problem until recently.\n\nOne thing that I DID mention to the doctor was that my boyfriend has had a ear and throat problem for the longest that he believes is some sort of infection.  I am guessing that there was some sort of bacteria or something in his saliva that increased the irritation, combined with the irritation I was already experiencing   I still don't know if, indeed, it was a yeast infection; now I am guessing that it may had been an infection that was caused by something other than Candida since it intensified after intercourse. Since we are still inexperienced, I thought the irritation I was feeling was because he tore something down there or whatever.  Now, I'm afraid to have sex again.  Sex is also extremely painful for me-- it feels like he is ripping something.  I don't even know if he is inserting it into the correct hole.  I feel really embarrased to admit this, but wer are 31 and had sex for the first time when we were 29.  Since then, we've had it off and on maybe 5 times, so I know the infrequency is not helping the situation.  I am trying not to reso

Isoniazid is a type of antibiotics used to combat TB and in some cases HIV. Typically, it's not wise to mix alcohol use with any type of antibiotics, but with Isoniazid, the side effects could outweigh the need or desire to drink. Peripheral neuropathy is the most common side effect. Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are numbness, tingling, or an unusual sensation such as burning or prickling on the skin. Hepatitis is the most dangerous. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. Signs and symptoms of hepatitis are yellow eyes and skin, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, dark urine, unusual tiredness, or weakness. Severe reactions may occur if you eat foods containing high concentrations of tyramine such as aged cheeses, avocados, bananas, beer, caffeinated beverages, chocolate, sausages, liver, overripe fruit, red wine, smoked or pickled fish, yeasts, and yogurt.
