Can commit lozenges cause depression?
The most common side effects are insomnia (reported in less than 5% of users), nausea, hiccups, coughing, heartburn, headache and flatulence.The biggest risk with Commit and all other oral nicotine replacements is the likelihood of becoming addicted to the lozenges. Think about it: what's the difference between lighting up and taking a big long puff for relief, or popping a lozenge into your mouth for relief -- except that you can use the lozenges anywhere. A great substitute for cigarettes and other products, eh?We recommend the patch. That allows you to get used to not having a nicotine delivery system in your hand, while gradually tapering you off the drug.
What are the dangers of long term addiction to Commit lozenges?
From the research that I have done, using the Commit lozenges does not stop you from being addicted to nicotine, it just replaces the means of getting the nicotine into your system from smoke inhalation to the lozenges. Some of the boards that I have visited have people who have been taking these for years! Clearly they are addicted to nicotine, and most of them are starting to notice that there are several side effects, namely: - Sever dental issues, apparently the sugar or the nicotine has a negative effect on the enamel in your teeth, and people speak of cavities, tooth loss etc. - Cost is clearly a factor, even with the high price of cigarettes the commit alternative, while better for your general health, is not always cheaper. 72 lozenges cost me $40. I can get 140 cigarettes for that price! - Swallowing the nicotine will constipate you, and several users experienced gastro issues after years of use. - You are also prone to having bad gas (been on them a week and I see it already!), which seems to affect single people more!! - Other users found that their nicotine intake went up, because they were able to take the lozenges when they might otherwise have not had a cigarette. Nicotine is a drug, and if you want to quit smoking you should also want to quit nicotine. Follow the directions, do not take the lozenges for more than the defined term (12 weeks tops) and you should have no adverse side effects other than feeling healthier, accomplished and pleased with yourself. This information is based on my personal research, I am not a doctor or any sort of medical person. Feel free to google "Commit addiction". There are some interesting postings out there.
Prednisolone 5 mg tablets is it safe to drink alcohol when taking these tablets?
It is typically not recommended to drink alcohol while taking prednisone because it can be very hard on the liver. It's also not recommended to drink alcohol if you are taking prednisone for Ulcerative Colitis because it can worsen your symptoms.
Can you drink alcohol on prednisolone tablets?
You should never consume alcohol while taking any form of medication. Alcohol can slow down the heart rate, hence slowing the speed of blood circulation around your body. This will prevent the medication from effectively being transported around your body before it wears off. Alcohol can also sometimes cause nausea. If you are sick, your medication (if it is oral) will most likely be sicked out. Some medications are cancelled out by alcohol, while others cause overdoses. See your doctor for clearer advice on the matter.
How long can you take Nicotine Polacrilex lozenges?
This writer took them for three years (then went back to cigarettes). We do not recommend the gum, as it prolongs the oral addiction. The patches work much better overall, as they taper you off and avoid severe withdrawal while not supporting the other habits, such as putting something in your mouth.
Can you take prednisolone tablets while taking antidepressants?
A prednisolone burst and taper (e.g. Medrol dose pak), for treatment of an allergic reaction or respiratory illness, is reasonable to take with any antidepressant - on a short term basis. The risk of long-term steroid use is that of depression, Cushing's syndrome and quite a few other side effects. In the short-term, therapeutic steroid use with antidepressants is generally well-tolerated. However, if increased anxiety or depression (or any psychotic features such as paranoia, hallucinations) occur, then notifying the prescribing physician, as soon as possible, is of the utmost importance.
Can you mix prednisone with celexa?
I assume you mean predNisone. Why would you want to? It is an anti-inflamatory steroid. I would advise steering clear of the ecstasy personally...
Is there a medication to assist you in quitting smoking?
Try the patch. The most important factor is you have to WANT to quit. Then it is possible. If you don't want it, you will pick them up again... reassuring yourself that "at least I know how to quit now" while you are lighting up...
Is is safe to take prednisolone while breastfeeding?
There are risks.. But they are not common. If you are using a low dose of prednisone (20mg or less, for under a month, for something like viral-activated asthama, for example) for a short period of time, it really shouldn't be a problem, and you have nothing to worry about. However, if the prednisone is a long term treatment at higher doses such as 50mg or above where tapering is required and such, you may want to consider talking to your doctor about switiching meds, or what other options there may be.
