Can Imitrex cause a stroke?

Yes. Research has shown that patients with migraine with aura are at increased risk of stroke. This risk is highest during instances of status migrainosus (migraines that last longer than 72 hours) or migraines with prolonged aura (aura that lasts longer than one to two hours). Inflammation in the blood vessels in the head and neck can temporarity decrease blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke, or a stroke like event. Migraines with aura also caused an increased risk of white matter lesions on the brain. It is not known if these lesions actually cause changes in cognitive function. In addition, there is a rare hereditary disease called CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy). Migraine with aura is one of its main initial symptoms. This is a degenerative disease with no cure, that causes repeated strokes and dementia.

What are the side effects of taking citalopram with adderall xr?

There is a contraindiction between Adderall and Celexa, meaning they should NOT be taken together UNLESS you are under the supervision of a physician.

Celexa is in a class of drugs called SSRIs, or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Serotonin is a type of chemical called a neurotransmitter and it functions to help pass signals between nerves. Celexa operates by keeping the nerves from taking the serotonin back up as quickly, so more stays between the nerves, helping to stimulate them.

Adderall is an amphetamine and effects the levels of several neurotransmitters. While its primary effect is on dopamine and norepinephrine, it also effects serotonin levels.

Combining these two medications is fairly common and while it's NOT likely, mixing the two can (rarely) lead to a severe, potentially fatal, condition called Serotonin Syndrome (sometimes called Serotonin Toxicity or Serotonin Storm).

The primary treatment for Serotonin Syndrome is stopping usage of the drugs that triggered it, followed by administration of a serotonin antagonist such as Periactin (cyproheptadine). Once it starts, it has to run its course. It can cause all sorts of conditions with tachycardia (fast heart rate) being the mildest, but it can also cause kidney failure, seizures, metabolic acidosis and other life threatening conditions.

How long does the side effects of suboxone last after stopped?

O MG I weaned myself after 20 months of being on Suboxne 10mg per the doc., which was way too long. Some docs just want the money, Suboxone I got myself don to 2mg per day after about a month of trying. On the third day i wanted to die. SWEATS, LEG CRAMPS, VOMTING, NO SLEEP. My body wanted to climb out of itself. Went to ER. They gave me zanex. Helps to be mellow but the pain is still there at day 4. I want to die. tHE ER doc said subox is harder to get off then vicodin. i was shocked! Miricle drug my butt!! I think the best thing to do is to wean off the opiate and skip the subox all together. I lost my job and insurance. The subox doc would not see me or even call in a few pills for me. He said it was his policy. I am going to call the med. board and pitch a fit. The ER doc said some of these docs want to keep you hooked as long as possible. This all started with a back and neck injury Doc had me on 8-10 a day for 2 years. I stopped because I was sick of pills. That landed me in the ER after the 3rd day. This little body of mine can't take much more of this. Please do not take suboxone. It is not a miracle drug but it is being thrown from the frying pan to the fire. This is my 4th day and I still want to die!!! I am calling whomever I can to stop this false cure. Please take care.

How long will benzodiazapines show up in a urine drug screen?

Your question cannot be answered without your disclosure of the chemical name of the substance you wish not to be seen.

Diazepam (Valium) can be detected to up to a month or more.
Alprazolam (Xanax) will probably be gone within 2 days but allow seven to be safe.


You must understand that the metabolic halflife of the substance is highly variable in this class so you must disclose what the agent is by its chemical name.


Other very important factors which affect elimination:
-Age (geriatrics will metabolize the drug and excrete its metabolites much much slower)
-Health (if you have impaired liver function then any hepatic metabolism will be slower)
-Tolerance (Your body will eliminate the substance much faster if you have a high tolerance)
-Genetics (no way to help you there)


If you want to speed up elimination of benzos for a drug test then there are various effective measures you can take if its a urine test. If its a hair test.... nothing I can say. But I am no expert.... but the same should be said of many 'doctors'. Why do you want to be benzo free?

Why does drinking alcohol make you tired?

If you use drugs for recreational purposes (as opposed to using them for medical purposes, as prescribed by your doctor) this does reflect laziness, since true happiness comes from accomplishment in the real world, not from chemical alterations to your own brain. Since it is easier to induce fake happiness than it is to obtain real happiness, that leads to a habit of laziness. Weakness will also follow, since these drugs are not good for your mental, physical, or financial health.

What happens if you don't take your levothyroxine medicine for a month or more?

Levothyroxine is to help regulate your thyroid which is very important to your metabolism. Not taking your levothyroxine can result in feeling the usual effects of hypothyroidism like puffy face, weight gain, constipation, and depression to name a few. It is important that a regular schedule be kept because even though levothyroxine can help it can also be toxic if taken in excess which is why many doctors order screenings after a few weeks of treatment to make sure the levels of medication are only doing good for the patient.

How long does phenobarbital stay in your system?

From experience with my local methadone clinic; phenobarbital can stay in your system for 30 days. I took a prescribed medication called GI cocktail after a trip to the ER one Saturday morning. Upon given a toxicology screening, the results came back positive for barbituates. After having 2 other screenings, they each came back positive for barbituates. Those of you who have had experiences with meth clinics know what a problem this can be trying to convince the doctor that you havent been dipping into other barbituates. After talking to my pharmacist, he states, without a doubt, phenobarbital can stay in your system for 30 days from a urine screening, 6 months from blood screening and up to a year from a hair folicle screening. Also, if you're a DIABETIC, as I am, it can stay in your system for an extra 7 to 14 days, depending on your body and if you're actively having high blood sugar. (being a diabetic and having high blood sugar is a whole different story. This will show positive for alcohol). I hope this helps someone.

Will oxycodone effect you more if you take the drug rectally?

No. The absorption of any opiate depends on the form (liquid/solid/gas) and the route of administration (oral, intravenous, rectal, inhaled). While there are some advantages of certain routes of administration which bypass initial degradation by the liver, for the most part rectal administration (ie "up the butt") is not likely to lead to higher or quicker blood levels. IF you wanted to have greater rectal absorption, I would suggest a liquid, an opiate with greater absorption characteristics (fentanyl, for example) and prolonged contact time (holding an enema for example). This still has the dangers of overdose (death or respiratory depression with aspiration) since it is hard to judge the effect in advance. I would suggest sticking to swallowing your oxycodone.

Does Paxil cause weight gain?

You will gain weight with Paxil it is an SSRI. They all have weight gain as a side effect. Try Wellbutrin instead. SSRIs are very hard to get off of.
