Product review: Eco-friendly meds? And fashionable too
2009-08-20 13:45:00 At RedEye, we we tend to get random stuff in the mail. Magazines, batteries, candy--even a chocolate hand once. So when I received a packaged of little boxes that said things like "Help I have a blister," I kind of ignored it for a while, despite its eco-friendly claims. It just looked like a different way of packaging meds.At some point, my attention span was waning at work and I started scanning my desk to avoid the computer screen for a few minutes--and I ended up investigating the package from Help Remedies. Long story short, they peaked my interest enough that I'm telling you about them now ......

Is Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's top-rated anchor, on the verge of yet another professional meltdown? His feuding with "Hardball" host Chris Matthews is nothing new. But now we're told notoriously odd Olbermann is lashing out at the rest of his network's talking heads. During West Virginia primary coverage the other night, Olbermann began pounding the table when lead White House reporter David Gregory didn't wrap his segment quickly enough to satisfy him. Olbermann recently encouraged management to oust the cable channel's lone conservative, Tucker Carlson, and it's also no secret among producers that Olbermann refuses to introduce Dan Abrams' show, which follows his own.

2008-05-12 00:00:00 Gerry and I both have been sick with colds the past few days. Yesterday I was so sick I was back home in bed by 11:00am and slept until almost 2:00pm.

Internet Shopping for Prescription Meds
2008-04-16 21:32:00 Everyone knows that the cost of prescription medications in the U.S. is extremely high and its taking a bigger and bigger piece of the family income, particularly that of senior citizens.According to the About.com:Senior Health, one in four Americans has no prescription drug insurance. This often forces them to buy their prescription drugs on the Internet through online "pharmacies". The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) understands this need to search out the best price for your medications, but they want to make certain that you are getting safe drugs from Internet. They caution consumers that not all online pharmacies are licensed to sell drugs in the U.S. You can't even be certain there is a licensed pharmacist on staff to help you. Therefore, any information you get may not be accurate or you may get the wrong medication. There is also no guarantee that they will keep your personal information private. The FDA also warns that some of the medications bought online ma...

Going off your meds could have serious consequences
2008-02-17 14:13:00 Only 4 percent of Americans with mental illness kill. But many of those cases involve people who didn't pay enough attention to their condition.The Campus Police at Northern Illinois University say Stephen Kazmierczak, the man responsible for killing five people and himself, had stopped taking his medication before the shootings, according to news reports.The medications the Northern Illinois shooter were not identified. But the incident speaks to the potential consequences of deciding to not take any prescribed medications.Once on their medications, physicians say, patients feel fine and feel they do not need their medicine. But any psychological disorder should be treated like any other disease."If you have diabetes or a different health concern, you can be stable on your medications and feeling really good, but things would go really bad if you went off that medication and it's the same thing with any psychiatric medications," said Elisabeth Kinghorn, an Idaho medical professio...

Doctors pitching meds to doctors can influence prescribing habits
2008-02-11 00:05:00 By VALERIE BAUMANAssociated Press Writer12:52 PM EST, February 10, 2008ALBANY, N.Y.Dr. Daniel Carlat sank into a choice seat at Lincoln Center, surrounded by other psychiatrists, all staying at the same four-star hotel in Manhattan and attending the same show for free. His deal with a pharmaceutical company to provide testimonials to other doctors had paid off well."It just kind of gave me a feeling of euphoria," said Carlat, a practicing psychiatrist and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Tufts University in Boston. "Sort of like you've made it into the upper crust of society."The practice of using doctors to pitch products to other doctors is legal, though several states _ including New York _ are trying to curb it. They are opposed by the pharmaceutical industry, which argues the practice is a kind of professional consultation.Carlat was on the "speakers' bureau" for the pharmaceutical companies, speaking to large groups of doctors, or holding intimate, expenses-paid...
Meds Suck!
2008-02-05 14:10:00 I'm not depressed or anxious anymore, but my mental capacity, energy, and creativity seem to have deserted me. I've been feeling very spacey lately and I don't like it. I'm thinking that Paxil is to blame. I realize that I needed it to get me through my crisis, but now it's hindering more than it's helping. It was a help when I was so down that I couldn't function, but now I can't function because I can't think. I've lost my ability to focus. I know you're not supposed to stop taking it, but I can't deal with this anymore. I don't like being sad and anxious, but with the anxiety, I'm also losing the things that matter to me the most. This sucks! I have to quit taking this shit! It's turning me into a zombie!

Meds.
2008-02-02 17:12:00 Psy. Doc. lowered my meds. I should probably be glad for this, but if he lowers them because of my facial twitching; I'm afraid that I'll start to hallucinate again. I don't want to see or hear anyone. I'm scared to have that in my life again. I rather be a twitchy mess than start with seeing and hearing things again. He also told me I have social anxiety disorder. He said that is the third most common disorder around (next to Depression and Panic disorders, which he said all three could go hand in hand with each other). It makes sense …I guess that I have this. I'm not feeling high or low just somewhere in a gray area. I wonder if that's a good thing? Been going through alot lately, but I don't seem too affected by it. I guess this is a good thing…. *sigh~*
I Went Off My Meds
2008-01-31 15:55:00 You know how you always hear about crazy people “going off their meds” because they feel cured? Well, I succumbed to that stupidity this morning. Cara and I woke up kind of late and I felt just fine. We laid in bed and listened to NPR for a while and I still felt a-ok. No Zofran for me today. I sat down at the computer to check my email and was hit by a wave of nausea. And then I popped a Zofran. Guess I wasn’t cured after all. *** You guys know I smoke. Right? Let me clarify. I used to smoke cigarettes and my brain still does. Way to clarify, huh? Let me try this again. It’s bad to smoke when you’re pregnant. So, I quit smoking. But, my poor addled brain still thinks that I should be smoking. I did this same thing when I was pregnant with Cara. I quit smoking and was cigarette free until Cara was about two weeks old. I didn’t go through any withdrawal; I just quit. My body’s cool with the change but my brain is fighting ...

Child's allergy meds cause big trouble
2008-01-21 09:51:00 On Friday afternoon our son, who is 12, had plans on going home after school with a friend of his. Our son is an honor roll student and neither of our boys have ever been in any kind of trouble. Our son also have severe sinus/ allergy/ asthma issues, in fact he missed 20 days of school last year due to an operation he had to have on his sinuses, which the school knew about, and he has been on these prescription meds ever since!

FEDS FIND KIDS GETTING HIGH ON COUGH MEDS
2008-01-15 22:44:00 Usage levels comparable to LSD, survey finds A new federal study shows more than three million adolescents and young adults have used non-prescription cough and cold medicines to get high at least once.That kind of usage is comparable to LSD, and more than the reported use of methamphetamines, among those aged 12 to 25, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).White youths were more than three times as likely as black youths to have misused these drugs during the past year.Overdosing on many cough and cold medications may result in serious life-threatening adverse reactions. Adverse reactions include blurred vision, loss of physical coordination, intense abdominal pain, vomiting, uncontrolled violent muscle spasms, irregular heartbeat, delirium and death.The survey is reportedly the largest of its kind and involves interviewing nearly 67,000 people from around the nation, including almost 45,000 persons aged 12 to 25.Link to complete story:...

You know there's meds for that, right?!
2007-12-09 05:00:00 I was asked what meds my husband was taking for his PTSD a while back. I said "nothing" and was met with a "you must be stupid" stare. I guess I can understand that to some extent but because the person isn't a doctor and doesn't live in my husband's shoes, it seemed a bit judgmental. I thought I'd take the time to explain a few things since I posted the other day about the recent visit with the doc. Maybe there are others with some of the same issues and it will help in some small way. Back in about 1998 my husband fell off a church roof. He was helping to replace the roof, it was getting late and darkness was starting to fall. They were almost finished when a roll of tar paper hit him and knocked him over the side. He fell probably 25 to 30 feet and dented an air conditioner unit on his way down. Miraculously he didn't have a scratch on him. He had a long night of full body ex-rays checking him over to make sure there weren't any internal injuries. Everyt...

JCAHO and administering meds in the ED
2007-12-05 06:07:00 JCAHO came up with the brilliant idea that all medications administered in the ER had to first be reviewed by a pharmacist. Anyone that has ever worked in the hospital can tell you what a joke this is, for floor patients if you get a new, 'STAT' order it can take hours for the pharmacy to process it and release the medication, they are just as over-worked as every other department in the hospital. We see almost 300 patients a day, about 80% of them receive one or more medications. We would have to hire two or three full time pharmacists to review and process our medication orders alone. This would bring the already overcrowded ER's across the nation to a complete and grinding stop.So ACEP, ENA etc. banded together and wrote a letter basically saying - "hey, this is retarded." JCAHO agreed and said that we could continue on in our previous manner but 100% of medications had to be retrospectively reviewed by a pharmacist. That has since been revised to state if their is a lice...

2007-12-03 14:00:00 Alex Chou's Log for: 1/21/2352 21:45This is strange. Dr. Moore today told me that he's convinced that somebody is stealing the meds needed for a chem nap. "It's slow and gradual, but they are disappearing - for maybe 2 weeks", he said. I asked him to redo his inventory. There could've been a miscount I reasoned. "I already did that", he snapped. "I did it last week too. Last week we were short 3 doses and this week we're short another 7." "Why would someone steal them?", I asked. "It would be like stealing Aspirin. Just ask and you always give them." "Almost always", he corrected. "Could someone on your staff not be keeping proper records?" I was having a difficult time believing someone would steal something that's so readily available. "You see that pile over there?" He pointed to a group of small needles stacked in a basket. They were labeled with a long latin word. Underneath it in smaller print were the words "sleep inducers". "Last night, I counted....
PIRATE BRIT MEDS - WEEK 9

That is because I had to nip down to the local Tesco Express to purchase some Galaxy following a tirade of abusive messages from the Mellor gang of oddballs. Just a minor problem that has been solved. Some people can't help being idiots. Rational debate does not run in their blood but there you have it. These are the sort of attacks David Southall has tolerated for about 10 years now with no action being taken. The issue of facing the GMC comes to us all one day. That is what many doctors should understand but I suspect they don't. Does anyone know that the GMC will now not recognise any chaperone, any CPN or social worker as a reliable independent witness? Well, I shall let the doctors think about that point and come up with a conclusion. Of course, as usual it won't hit the doctors until the issue hits them. After that it will be too late.

Ellen is a 49 year moderately successful comedienne best known for being the daytime hostess of one of those "Oh my God, I just completely threw away an hour of my life" daytime talk shows and for nailing the smoking hot Portia de Rossi. I would rather spend an hour sitting in a pool of freezing cold water sticking my index finger in an exposed electrical outlet than watch a program like this.

Cough & cold meds withdrawn
2007-10-11 16:11:00 Following up this post on avoiding cough medicines in kids, it was announced today (I have the fax from J&J in front of me) that there will be a voluntary withdrawal of ALL cough and cold remedies for children under the age of 2. (image credit)There is an FDA advisory panel next week, and there probably would have been a recommendation on this already. (Chicago Tribune)"It's important to point out that these medicines are safe and effective when used as directed, and most parents are using them appropriately," said Linda A. Suydam, president of Consumer Healthcare Products Association. "The reason the makers of over-the-counter, oral cough and cold medicines for infants are voluntarily withdrawing these medicines is that there have been rare patterns of misuse leading to overdose recently identified, particularly in infants, and safety is our top priority."Many of the medicines contain pseudoephedrine and phenlypephrine.
