You need to see an orthodontist to get your bite adjusted so you don't have the pain anymore.  In the meantime you can get some relief by wearing a night guard when you sleep.

get to a doctor, don't screw around with it.  the verge of tear and sleeping could signal depression or as you say a hormone swing, but you need to know so the dosage can be adjusted properly.

I was able to take this medication successfully for some time and then I began to wake up with a tingling feeling in my arms and legs, and an edgy feeling that lasted for hours.  This, of course, was contrary to what I was trying to accomplish, so I do not take it anymore.  I did try it a few times afterwords just to verify that it wasn't an isolated response, and had the same symptoms.  \n\nThis being a mild allergic reaction, I wouldn't recommend anyone continuing to take any medication after this type of experience.\n\nYou might try plain "Benadryl" if you need a sleep aid, as it is the same medication without the Tylenol/acetaminophen, and see if it has the same effect.  I have had doctors prescribe 100 mg. at bedtime for a non-prescription sleep aid.  Otherwise, you would need to see your physician for a prescription medication for sleep.

You can\n\n1) Not do anything\n\n2) Bring the cat in for testing for rabies - realize that this sometimes means destroying the cat, since they need a brain tissue specimen\n\n3) Just observe the cat - realize this means if the cat does develop further symptoms of rabies, then you have not had any treatment and vaccinations done for it during this time and the virus could be incubating nicely in you\n\n4) Get the prophylaxis shot and vaccination series.\n\nWith a stray cat that you don't know the rabies status of, I would recommend post-exposure prophylaxis to be on the safe side. Of course the decision is yours and you need to be aware of the risks and benefits.\n\nThe prophylaxis involves an injection of immunoglobulins (antibodies) specific for the rabies virus. Half of it is injected in those bite sites in your hand and the other half is injected in the arm on the opposite side of where you get the vaccinations.\n\nThe vaccination requires a series of 5 shots over the course of a month with the first shot being that first visit. Neither the immunoglobulins nor the vaccination series is administered by shots in the abdomen.\n\nRealize that the tetanus shot is just a booster shot. If you are not immune to tetanus already, it will help you develop immunity, but not in time to treat tetanus if you caught it from this bite.\n\nThe choice of antibiotics is a bit off. The antibiotic of choice for animal bites is Augmentin which is a combination medication of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin by itself is insufficient treatment as there are several strains of bacteria that require the additional activity conferred by the clavulanic acid part. The two together work synergistically to treat infections caused by those. However, Augmentin does tend to be a bit pricey. \n\nChances are, you probably won't get rabies or tetanus, but you should watch the wound very carefully for signs of infection. One of the bacteria involved with cat bites (cat have long sharp teeth which act to inoculate any bacteria deep within your tissue) is Pasturella multocida which can be particularly bad and can develop very quickly over the course of the day. If you start seeing increased redness, swelling or purulent discharge from any of the wounds or you develop a fever, go to the ER immediately - you will need to get a course of antibiotics intravenously and may even need to stay in the hospital to make sure it does not get worse. Definitely get that medication switched to the Augmentin to be on the safe side. While the amoxicillin will cover the Pasturella aspect of the infection, it does not cover infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, and may require a second medication with the amoxicillin (like cephalexin) or switching to the Augmentin.\n\nThe reliability of doctors depends a lot on the kind of training they have. I do not feel many doctors necessarily know what is medically appropriate nor keep up with developments in medicine. Do not automatically assume they know everything including a doc-in-a-box (urgent care clinic docs).

Nope, this is a misconception.\n************ has only one side effect... it releases sleep hormones that make you feel sleepy & retarded, else it is perfectly normal, but if you ********* thrice a day (hehhehe) you should see a psychiatrist.

Discontinuing Fosamax shouldn't make you tired.  You should be taking something for your osteoporsis though.  When was the last time you saw your doctor?  Maybe you're due for a blood count or other lab that can help determine the cause of your fatigue.  Sounds like you're a "go-getter" and it would be great if you can remain active!  Good luck and be sure to check with your doctor!!

I break 100 mg. in half and take 50 mg./day. I have to take it early in the morning in order to sleep. I am not the addictive type. You can read up on it here:http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/general/modavigil.html

Yeah, my NP gave me phentermine.  This one should not be taken at night and I had to keep the dose really low, because it had a tendency to raise my bp and give me headaches.

Yes a long time ago.  It made me really sleepy.  The doctor gave it to me for some chronic shoulder pain.  He told me to quit taking it. Just call your family physican with any questions.  You can always leave a voice mail with the nurse.  They will call you back.  Or call any pharmacy with questions.

Well, you may not feel effects at the moment but if you continue this habit then you might start feeling tired. Not to mention that it's bad on your eyes, wrists, and if your on the computer all the time, it only tells me your not out doing other things that you could be doing like exercising.
