I have mixed feelings. . .?

My friend of 10 yrs suffers from insomnia and migraines. She has 2 children both teens. A couple of years ago she started smoking pot to help her sleep and ease her migraines. I don't agree with that but this has been her best relief. She does no other drugs and she hardly ever drinks. She goes to school, works, and raises her kids (she tries very hard). She does a good job and loves her kids. She never smokes around them or in the house or even when they are awake. I need some fresh points of view.
She has been to the doctor and some of the side effects are way harsher on her body helping than her head. Thats what she says.

oh, for heavens sake! it is totally fine to smoke pot!
the only reason its illegal is because we as a people dont raise a huge stink about it, like when alcohol was banned. alcohol abuse is so common and deadly, well..why should that be legal?(i dont even smoke the stuff…i did a few times years ago but didnt care for it).
dont think twice about it, pot is cool unless there is abuse(same as booze)

Sleeping difficulties — Complex issue!?

I've been having sleeping difficulties recently, leading to a very abnormal sleep schedule… a disruptive one too!
I'm set to see the doctor, but can only get in at the end of next month.
Possiblities? Ideas? Suggestions? Answers?
the breakdown:
I'm currently taking the following medications/doses/schedule and conditions:
Effexor 150 (Bedtime, Depression)
Zopiclone 7.5 (Bedtime, Anxiety/sleep)
Sabutamol Sulfate MDI (As needed, Asthma)
Pulmicort DPI (Morning, Asthma)
Generic Antihistamine (According to instructions)

Currently I have the following symptoms:
Sinitus: Swollen sinuses, 'stuffiness' post nasal drip, no relief through medications.
Minor Allergic reactions: Stomach ache, light rashes. No relief through anti-histamines.
Anxiety: Medication appears ineffective
Back ache: Related to two year old Car accident, Lower spine, shoulders, upper back.
Insomnia

try to get off medications
get 30 minutes exercise daily
don't drink caffeine

don't watch tv too much…especially late
take vitamin C

uncommon pregnancy symptoms? or something else?

i'm about 5 wks pregnant with my first, and i've been having some weird symptoms, i'm not sure if they're related to the pregnancy or if something else is up & maybe i should talk to my doctor…

sore throat, with slight ear ache
congestion, stuffy & runny nose
back ache, especially really low on my right side near my hip
insomnia
feel overly warm (no fever)
mild cramping very low in pelvis
slightly sore, tired muscles

i'm also having the usual symptoms, sore BBs, a bit of nausea, heartburn, things smell & taste different, exhausted (though may be partly due to my insomnia).

can anyone tell me if these symptoms are pregnancy related?
also, what are some safe things to get relief from them?
should i see my doctor asap? (i have my 1st appointment in 2 wks)

thanks!!
oh, also i have constipation & gas (sorry tmi) are these pregnancy symptoms too??

thanks again!!!
and HORRIBLE headaches, too, btw… i know those are a symptom…

yes, DEFINITELY preggers, i've had 2 BFPs since Saturday :-D actually the heartburn & changed sense of smell are definitely pregnancy symptoms.

yes, those things are all completely normal to feel while pregnant.
THey will ease up soon but then of course new ones come along.
if you ever have bright red bleeding or cramps like menstrual cramps then it is time to see your doctor
you can take benadryl to help you sleep and it will help with the sore throat and nose, i had those too and thats what doc. told me to take.

Has anyone else taken Temazepam & found you build up a tolerance where it takes over 3 hours to take effect?

I have been taking 2-30mg. cap. of Temazepam 2x per week since July 2006 for horrible insomnia per dr's directions. Per instructions it says it should take 30-60 min. for it to take effect. I have noticed & believe EVERYONE'S tolerance to drugs is different or so many people would not be sticking with drugs & trying others cuz some just DID NOT work. My Temazepam takes 3 1/2 hours minimum to take effect. Anyone else had longer tolerances and taking effect longer than the 30-60 min. per pkg. insert with Temazepam> Please any responses would be greatly appreciated. I normally have very high tolerances. I was in the hospital with Celulitis & had to be given double doses of morphine for the pain. I am 5'4" & weigh about 119 lbs. The nurse was flabergasted when she thought I would be "out" with the one injection of morphine. When she took my bp to see why the pain was so great–it was 186/96==so she knew I needed more pain relief & was amazed I needed double dose of the morphin

If you have noticed over time that the pills have started loosing effectiveness over time that may suggest that you are becoming tolerant and that you may become addicted and suffer withdrawal symptoms. I would recommend that you visit this web site for more information http://www.bcnc.org.uk

Temazepam is in the same family of drugs as diazepam (valium). Hope this helps.

Could I take it?

I have just been perscribed Seroquel, and Lexipro.
I need relief from Anxiety/panic, and insomnia.
Began today.
I am scared I might have a panic attack while driving ( I am not kidding, it happened a week ago).

QUESTION: If I think I might panic, is it okay to take another Seroquel, or Lexapro? Wich one?

I do feel, already today, pretty calm, and a bit drowsy, but not in a big way..

I used to take klonopin, but was made to get off it.

No, No, NO and NO! Seroquel and Lexipro are drugs that work within your system to attain a certain blood level of the substance to keep you stable. They are not PRN's (taken as needed) Take your pills EXACTLY as it is prescibed on the bottle and as your doctor indicated. Serequel is a heavy hitter and if you take an extra dose while driving, you could over-sedate yourself and harm yourself or others. Be wise.

is it safe to smoke marijuana whle pregnant?

My friend is 5 months pregnant, a month behind me, and she smokes marijuana daily. She does not even look pregnant cuz she is so skinny. i, however, look ready to pop. she says she can't stop smoking pot cuz it's the only thing that brings her relief from the pregnancy probs.:insomnia, irritability, nausea, and stuff. Is this going to hurt her baby? I have smoked only a few times myself but stopped, because i felt guilty. I did not want to continue taking the chance of hurting my baby.
Thank you for your help everyone! I will tell my friend immediately to check out your answers. Maybe it will give her a reality check. They already confirmed my fears, but luckily I only used it 3 times before I knew I was pregnant, unlike her million. Plus she also smokes ciggarettes so I'm worried for her baby.

Yes. If she is actually smoking it on a daily basis like you say, the baby will almost surely be born with some sort of affects. Low birth rate and brain damage are quite common in cases like this; but, so are learning disabilities, asthma, degenerative disease and mental retardation, among others. How sad it is that she had to be so selfish!

The Truth About The Causes Of Menopause Hot Flashes

If you suffer from menopause, you have probably asked the question, "What causes hot flashes?" For years, hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause were attributed to an estrogen deficiency. Traditional medicine viewed menopause as an illness brought about by the changes taking place within a woman's reproductive system. In the past, doctors would prescribe synthetic estrogen as a form of hormone replacement therapy. All too often, hot flashes did not go away, and in some cases, the patient's symptoms were made more extreme.

In reality, the cause of hot flashes is attributed to estrogen dominance, rather than a deficiency. After further research, the medical world discovered that while menopause decreases estrogen production, the hormone is still being manufactured in post-menopausal women. In fact, studies have shown that your environment is inundated with estrogens, making estrogen dominance more common today in both men and women. Because estrogen dominance is a major cause for hot flashes, the answer to reducing these symptoms can be found by balancing estrogen levels in a safe and natural way. Natural progesterone does just that. It creates a natural balance between a woman's estrogen and progesterone, easing hot flashes and other bothersome symptoms. During menopause progesterone production begins to slow and become non-existent, making progesterone replacement a great solution to helping women become more comfortable with menopause. Hot Flash Freedom will limit your hot flashes and allow you to go about your daily life comfortably. With Hot Flash Freedom, you can focus on the freedom that menopause brings, not the hot flashes!

When You Are Constipated, And You Don't Treat Constipation, What Do You Think Will Happen?

When you are constipated, and you do not treat constipation, the first thing that happens is that a build-up of old wastes happens in the intestines and the colon. Parasites may be living within the body quite happy with the whole mess. As the build-up of wastes continues in the intestines, it creates a barrier that prevents good nutrients from being absorbed into the bloodstream. The result can be a build-up of toxins and a deficiency of nutrients. Those nutrients are needed to balance the serotonin and norepinephrine levels to keep you in a good mood. When they are out of balance, depression can result. Using a colon cleansing product like New Colon Sweep is so simple that if someone is in despair over depression, it is certainly worth a try.
