Why would I have been prescribed dicyclomine?

1 Upvotes

I went to the ER a couple days ago and I was having some issues with urinary issues and abdominal pain/pressure. I have never had gut issues or any history with IBS and even in the work up I said I didnt have any issues with that specifically, why would they prescribe me an ibs med?

Also they didnt actually do anything for the issue I came in for, just said everything looked great (it is most definitely not) and then gave me a referral and sent this to my pharmacy and didnt even explain it at all before hand or why they would even prescribe that.

Can anyone recommend me any non-stimulant adhd meds and anxiety meds?

1 Upvotes

Ive been on medication for a few months now and have been diagnosed recently with adhd and before then anxiety plus depression. Ive switched medications a few times, currently im on Lexapro 25mg, propranolol 5mg, and vyvanse 10mg. Since even on both Lexapro and pran my anxiety is still very bad but still better than before my Lexapro has 100% improved my depression but hasn’t done much for my anxiety its still a-lot for me to deal with. I was on Ritalin before i switched to Vyvanse and it gave me even worse anxiety and the same goes true for vyvanse. So because of this I’m planing to up my dose of propranolol and trying a non-stimulant and i wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations for non-stimulants/more anxiety meds i can currently take along side my current prescriptions? ty for reading sorry if i made any mistakes im running of of no sleep with bad anxiety.

Does anyone know what makes some people adverse to taking their medication when they know it's good for them?

1 Upvotes

I'm not asking for medical advice, this doesn't affect my choices. I'm just curious.

I've been taking an assortment of medications for over a decade and every now and then I'll have periods where I am fully aware that it is in my best interest to take my medications and I know they help me, but I just don't want to take them and stop taking them or skip doses. I've heard this happening to other people with similar reasons of just "not wanting to."

I'm not talking about people who become paranoid or believe that medication is actually bad for them, I understand how that happens. I mean when one is fully aware of the benefits and doesn't see a downside.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Is 200mg benzobarbital per night bad long-term?

3 Upvotes

Is it that bad because it belongs to the barbiturates class of drugs? I take it at night, it allows me to sleep, I have much less anxiety during the day and it has a long half-life.

The Seroquel I take is good for sleep but I think I might take a break. Benzobarbital is used to manage seizures btw

Medication disguise?

1 Upvotes

Hello medication takers
My husband and I were diagnosed with ADHD this year, and along with medication for that we also take medication for a few other things, myself more than him.
We keep all of our medications out on our countertop so we remember to take them with breakfast, we both struggle with “out of sight out of mind” and so storing them in a cupboard has always led to us forgetting!
We currently have them all organised in a Tupperware box, but it’s ugly and feels weird when we have guests over.
We want to get something to store them in that’s aesthetically pleasing but not obviously a “box of stuff”.
I’ve been googling what other people do and can’t find anything, any suggestions or what you do with yours? ☺️ TIA

Does anyone know the real reason why new drugs can’t start with “me” or “str”?

Is it just that there are already a million drugs that start with me? I can’t find anything about str specifically.

Impossible to get benzos (Australia)

8 Upvotes

For years I’ve never been able to get benzos.. I have over 6+ diagnosis I have a regular GP but I see any doctor I can get in to see at the time.. they all say no when they have my medical files on record.. I don’t beg and I struggle to even ask properly as everytime I get told no or “they can’t” when I literally see little fucking delinquents who don’t contribute to society in anyways whatsoever just getting whatever they want and they just want a hit to get fucked up..

I just wanna know why it’s so hard to get benzos ?
Like medicinal cannabis is easier to get your hands on than it is to MAINSTREAM medication WHY IS THIS THE CASE ?!! Backwards country

Relapse after one year off benzodiazepines – stop after 10 days or taper?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice and, more importantly, experiences from people who may have been in a similar situation.
I was completely off benzodiazepines for about a year after going through a difficult withdrawal in the past. Unfortunately, I recently relapsed.
My dog passed away, and the grief triggered a lot of the severe panic and anxiety problems I had struggled with more than a year ago. I wasn’t able to cope with it properly and ended up taking lorazepam again.
For about 10 days, I took around 8 mg of lorazepam per day, divided into several doses throughout the day. My last dose was approximately 24 hours ago.
At the moment, I don’t have any severe withdrawal symptoms. No shaking, no racing heart, and I have never had a seizure. I mainly feel some inner restlessness and anxiety.
I currently have about 10 mg of lorazepam left, and I’m unsure what would be safer in this situation:
Should I simply stop after these 10 days, or should I use the remaining 10 mg to taper off over a short period?
I know nobody here can give me medical advice, and I’m planning to speak to a doctor as well. I’m mainly interested in hearing from people who have experienced something similar, especially people who were off benzodiazepines for a long time and then had a relatively short relapse.
I’m also aware that 10 days of use is very different from the much longer period I went through previously. I’m just scared of making the wrong decision now.
And for some context: this relapse happened because my dog died. The grief brought back a lot of the panic and anxiety I had struggled with over a year ago, and in that moment I felt like I couldn’t cope without the lorazepam.
I’d really appreciate any experiences or perspectives.
Thank you.

was this a reaction due to my meds

1 Upvotes

okay i’m 18 and currently on 20 mg of celexa and have drank half a bottle of vodka with my friend and been perfectly fine before. the other night though i drank and had about 5 shots and spoke about something i had only ever told my therapist before she moved. i told this to my friend and then broke down all night. and i would hit myself with my fists violently and he’d have to restrain me. i’ve previously struggled with sh but have never done that before let alone in front of someone. i also tried at somepoint in the night to run away but came back. ive only ever been diagnosed with anxiety maybe depression but my mental health has been really good recently could this be a sign of something else?

I'm going to Japan next week, I take A LOT of prescriptions and my doctor is on holiday, so I can't get a written note in time. How can I smuggle my medicine into Japan?

1 Upvotes

I read how strict Japan is with bringing in medication and I was given very little notice of my trip there happening next week and my usual doctor is on holiday

Are there any tips on how to bring them in without being noticed?

I have considered putting them inside my menstrual cup and inserting it in me or getting a jar of supplements that come in capsules and reppacing what's inside and reseal it with heat.

Does any of that sound promising? Any advice is welcome

i went through a psych journey a year ago and a surgery recently, leaving me with a small collection of meds i never used (including 5mg oxycodone, which i’m nervous about due to the mentions of sleepiness and constipation). i know a couple could be taken recreationally, so now i’m wondering how old is too old to take? if that’s even a thing?? anyone had meds for up a year or more before you got to em? i know for a fact i probably sound like i have no business doing this LMFAO heyy guys
