Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) can be effective for addressing muscle tightness and pain in various areas, including the iliotibial (IT) band. While IMS primarily targets muscle dysfunction and nerve pathways, it may help alleviate tension in the muscles surrounding the IT band, potentially reducing related discomfort. However, it is essential to combine IMS with other treatments, such as stretching and strengthening exercises, for optimal results. Always consult a healthcare professional for tailored advice and treatment options.

You are taking 40mg Prozac and 100mg zydol is this safe i am a alcoholic?

Do you feel like the meds are working? because alcohol is a depressant. therefore, if you don't notice any changes even with the medication, then you should probably get some help for your alcoholism. Does your doctor know about your drinking problem? because if so, then he/she wouldn't put you on the medication if it wasn't safe.

At any rate, I would suggest getting help, as alcoholism is a disease and severely affects almost every aspect of a person's life. While it may be difficult, you have to keep in mind that there are people willing to help.

I would contact AA.
