Answer:
Methadone treatment is nothing more than legalized addicition. If you want to fool yourself into thinking it is going to help you, then you have that right. No, you are going to be addicted to the methadone for the rest of your life. Be proud. (I was recently a juror in a criminal trial involving the robbery of a methadone clinic...I learned more than I ever wanted to about methadone and the clinics that dispense it.)You could, instead, get some REAL help, and clear yourself of whatever addiction you are suffering from (pain killers or heroin, presumably) within just a few months. Yeah, it's going to be a very difficult few months to go through. But that's a far better prospect for your future than allowing some quackpot (with all good intentions) to tell you that replacing your current addicition for a life-long addiction to methadone is going to actually help you.Clear your head...take your life back.
You are only replacing one drug for another. They say it's harder to get off methadone than other drugs..try cold turkey, if you can. These drug centers are a lot of bull. It's the money they care about, not the people!!

Is melatonin bad for the blood pressure?
Melatonin is a chemical that helps you want to sleep.
Answer:
Can react with certain alpha and beta blockers. Can kill you if you overdose in combo with blood pressure meds and other prescription meds if you are not very careful. Also, buying over the counter foods (and that is what it is considered - as St John's Wort) aren't regulated by FDA.Your body provides seratonin and that is all you need without a real doctor prescribing for you.
i dont know but it helps me sleep lol

is melatonin an over the counter medication or a prescription drug?
Or can you name an alternative medication to take to help fall asleep. NOT Valagen
Answer:
over the counter and cheap. just don't expect too much. it helps a little. i use it because i have always had insomia problems and any little nonaddictive thing helps. some things like nytol will damage your heart. melatonin is harmless as far as i know. but that reminds me i aint the sharpest pencil in the box. lol
Try Sheepacountin鈩?
Over the counter and it really works!
I thought it was something you could get at a health store. i take sublingual melatonin and it helped my insomnia. Just be careful to never take it unless you will be in bed for the next few hours as sunlight can cause damage to your eyes from it.
You should not put any substance in your mouth to help you sleep. Not because of morality but because it is bad for your body's normal system. Maybe you should rethink your lifestyle choices. I did. Less work, more relaxation, and I sleep like a baby!
It is definitely over the counter, it is don-dependent (so you can't get addicted to it and it won't hurt you if you stop taking it) and it doesn't technically help you sleep... it helps you relax. Melatonin is a substance your brain makes that relaxes your muscles and your mind. Sometimes your brain doesn't make enough and you can't sleep, and so to remedy this you can take Melatonin. It also works great for jet-lag. Once your body and mind are relaxed, you'll sleep like a baby... I wouldn't recommend taking anything else.
This is over the counter. Helps to regulate sleep cycles. I believe it is a natural herb.
You can find it at Walgreens, Walmart, etc.

Is Male Birth Control Pills Out Yet?
I have heard alot about them, but are they really out yet.
Answer:
Here is one undergoing clinical trials. It is taken a few hours before sexual activity when necessary rather than daily regardless of sexual activity.
Not yet wait for about 2 years.
no
i wish theyd come out. id love to see my boyfreind gain 20 pounds :-D
well i bet they'd be deemed only 40% effective, since i bet only 40% of the guys out there would be dedicated enough to take the pill every single day (especially if they're not married and irresponsible)
This is a follow up to Carl.
Yes, clinical trials are going on.
I did a search on Medline (medical literature) and came across a few articles..
--A May 2006 review article [Hormonal approaches to male contraception: approaching reality. ] concludes that temporarily stoppingsperm development through taking hormones (as in a pill) is the most likely form of male birth control in the future...early phases of clinical trials in these areas point to high efficacy and few side effects (I think the clinical trial described by Carl is one of these clinical trials)--Another May 2006 article [New approaches for male fertility control: HE6 as an example of a putative target.] describes a non hormonal approach which targets specific proteins which have specific roles in male fertility...however no drug as yet has been formulated based on this approach.And now...a digression.back in the early 80's I was a lowly lab technician in a pharmacological research lab [focus on membrane properties of mitochondria] at our local medical
college...one of the post docs was extremely interested in a male birth control pill...and I seem to recall him talking about some
plant product from India [I could be wa..a..y off].Anyways, out of curiousity, I did a search on the Internet...
and now he's VP of Strategic Development at a company in Baltimore called ReProtect http://www.reprotect.com/contact.shtml,... whichh develops products to protect reproductive health...nothing about male birth control pills, tho'.but who knows?
There should be no news stories on this. Maybe there will be in a couple years, maybe not. Premature news stories like those that hit the web a few days ago are all too common. It's very normal for drugs to look like the best thing since sliced bread in the early stages, only to find that they're not so great with further experience. Think Vioxx. I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.
And a major part of the debacles that came from Phen/fen, Vioxx, and others is laypeople pressuring their doctors for the latest. Once there was an old doctor's saying, "Be not the first by whom the new is tried, nor the last by whom the old is cast aside." There's a lot of wisdom in that.

is lumbosacral spondylosis thesis a disability?
i had a mri and several other tests i was diagnosed properly DRS. cannot give me shots or do surgery it wont help.It was found too late.I am44 yrs old,white,female,also i have fibromyalgia was diagnosed with that 5yrs ago.I also have sciatica neuralgia neuritis and osteothrosis arthiritis i am always in pain and i cant sleep and my nerves are a wreck and im also highly claustrophobic and have panic attacks , i have medicine but it only works for me sometimes so please if there is anyone out there can help me medically or legally i would be very grate ful.
Answer:
SPONDYLOLISTHESIS is the correct spelling. When it (slipping or bulging of the intervertebral disc) occurs at the level of L5S1 it is responsible for pressure on the corresponding nerve roots ..and this is responsible for the sciatica. You will have pain and numbness in the area of distribution of the sciatic nerve.You have several other pathological problems .My suggestion is : keep your confidence in your doctors and keep taking your medication regularly.Best of luck.
Maybe these will help, just click on them and go through them.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pain_manage...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/social_secu...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_dis... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/disabilitie...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/invisible_d...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/social_secu...
Truthfully, some in the medical profession don't believe in fibromyalgia. Not to say you don't have pain, but there is an extrinsic source and there is no such thing as "fibro" so your doctor basically gave up on you. If you did have an MRI and it was examined by both a radiologist and a neuro I'd say you have a chance. Once again, I am going to reiterate I don't doubt your pain.
But, the problem is so many are on disability for back pain or fibro that you will get rejected the first time I've heard.Also, I'd say it depends on severity, simply because other people live with the conditions you do have to a lesser degree.
Basically you have inflammation and pinching of your back nerves. Where did you work before? How much do you weigh?
Are you in therapy? Do you exercise (probly not too much with those back problems, but if you do kudos).You should be on prednisone or at the very least NSAIDS.
Get a lawyer for your disability claim, and it should be a good one.

is laughter the best medicine?
i have a reserch parer work. and i really need to get some details about it. can somebody help me out?
Answer:
Laughter, it's said, is the best medicine. And there's lots of evidence that laughter does lots of good things for us.It reduces pain and allows us to tolerate discomfort. It reduces blood sugar levels, increasing glucose tolerance in diabetics and nondiabetics alike. It improves your job performance, especially if your work depends on creativity and solving complex problems. Its role in intimate relationships is vastly underestimated and it really is the glue of good marriages. It synchronizes the brains of speaker and listener so that they are emotionally attuned.
Laughter is awesome. It makes us feel better about our environment, ourselves, and each other. Laughing with someone about something in common means a shared interest. Not to mention, laughter is good for us. It is, in a way, exercise for the midsection.
o yea laughing is so good for you even if you just smile it sends a message to your brain that your happy even if your arent so keep laughing and smiling. lol GOOD LUCK!!
May be. And yes according to the Deen of the medical college in the movie munna bhai MBBS.
This is a hoot!!http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/0...Stress has been seen a hinderance to performance. We all have stress and with that comes physical reactions to stress. In the military we used laughter to reduce stress and improve performance. Implementing comedy into training to take a break from the stress of the physical and mentally demanding task. When I am in a good mood I treat people better, feel stronger and healthier, and perform well. I believe strongly that you are how you feel. So laugh it up! LOL
