Doctor advised medicine, SOMAZINA-500mg twice a day for my mother in law, 3 months back. This was prescribed along with other medication like Atorva, Deplatt, Betaloc, Rantac, after 3 consecutive brain strokes occured in 1 year time. She was on all medicine except SOMAZINA ( as advised by doctor) before third stroke occurred. I would like to know if SOMAZINA is to be continued for life time.

I'd like to know more about about Citicholine's indications and the recommended duration of use. ## Citicoline is believed to work on the Dopamine receptors of the brain and to help with cognitive impairments. However, in the U.S., it has not achieved drug status, because there have not been enough studies to prove its efficacy and possible dangers. Thus, I also have no information on how long it should be used, you should consult your doctor for that information and use it as they direct you.

i cant help but want to cook down the pill to inject just the opiate,throw away the gunk.thing is there low dose,only5mg.so should i do 3?ive only done dilauda8 before ## This is not a safe practice, regardless of what method you use to do it. There is no way, outside of a lab, that you could possibly remove all of the fillers from the actual opiate. Since many of them are not intended to be broken down by the human body, you will still be injecting some in a way that doesn't enable your body to get rid of them. This creates a very real risk of blockages, that could result in stroke and embolisms. Are there any other comments or questions?

Nancy I am 57 yrears old. ## If the doctor put you on a lower dosage and you went down from 40mg to 30mg, then the shaking and other symptoms you had could have been from the adjustment. Even if you do not abuse a medication, your body still gets used to having that substance in your body in a certain amount and will react to any change. This is what cause...

Are there any discount coupons available for CerAxon? How can I find them? ## CerAxon is not actually a drug, it is a supplement that contains Citicoline, in the U.S. this available over the counter in many products, including energy drinks, and it is claimed to help with mental alertness and memory. I do not see any discount offers on their site, which is normal for these kinds of products, they charge a premium price for something that is not actually proven to help with anything. If you want to try Citicoline to see if it helps you, or someone you love, there is no need to pay outrageous prices. As I said, it is available in many products, all you need to do is go to any local drug or vitamin shop and ask them where their selection of it is located. You can get one for a much better ...

I have had a HEAD INJURY about 3 weeks ago. They gave me five head stitches, I got a CT Scan that told me I have a Minor Skull fracture at the left side of my forehead and a forehead blot clot as well. I was given medication thru IV for the next 9 days that I was admitted in the hospital. Upon discharge, I was instructed to take the capsule version of Zynapse. I've been taking it for around one week now and I've noticed I have an impaired vacuum hearing and then just 1 or 1 days ago I've notice my sense of SMELL is slowing going away. Are these two side-effects of the Zynapse drug? I am going to take it for around 3 weeks more and I need to know. Thank you.
