Newspaper readers around the U.S. are again being bombarded in early 2006 by ad inserts in their Sunday papers touting "The New Skinny Pill," which closer reading reveals as the supplement Zyladex Plus.\n\nAccording to the ad, which features the misleading photo of what appears to be a prescription drug bottle, this amazing pill "is now available in the United States without a prescription" and will enable you to lose up to 15 pounds a week. The ad claims "clinical studies prove it." \n\nThe ad, however, provides absolutely no information about what is in this pill or how it works, and its manufacturer Medlab has no website where this information can be found. When you phone the number in the ad that you are urged to call 24 hours a day to order the product, and ask what the active ingredient in the pill is, the operator tells you "I actually do not have that information available."\n\nBut when this pill was being pushed several years ago, it was one of the many containing the combination of the amphetamine-like compound Ephedrine (since banned by the U.S. FDA) and caffeine.\n\nFurther research suggests that the active ingredient in the current formulation is bitter orange, a common substitute for ephedrine. Extracts from the peel of bitter orange contain the chemical synephrine, a substance similar to ephedrine, and it may contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolism. \n\nIt is unclear whether bitter orange acts similarly in raising heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure, but if it does, Zyladex Plus could be risky for people with arrhythmias and high blood pressure.\n\nWhile the ad misleadingly seeks to invoke the good name of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by saying Zyladex Plus has been "approved for release by a FDA REGISTERED laboratory," needless to say the product -- like virtually all supplements -- has NEVER been judged for effectiveness or safety by the FDA

Well, I know they make a Tylenol PM which is basically Unisom and aceteminophen. And there might even be an ibuprofen version I can't remember. So in my opinion there is no problem whatsoever, IOW it would be at least as safe as Tylenol PM and probably safer.

Provigil os for narcoleptics or people who have a lot of shift changes and need to stay up.  The risk factors and side effects list raised my eyebrows.  You should definitely consult closely with your doctor before even thinking of taking this stuff.

I take all of my supplements with a meal as required and I haven't had any problems. They used to come in packages to be taken together so unless you have some kind of allergy to mixing what you're taking you should be alright.

Mixing anti depression meds is never a good idea.  Make sure it's okay with your doctor before you take Welbutrin and Lexapro.  Lexapro is a good drug though, just don't mix it with other good drugs ;)

How many informative answers!\nWhat I have to add is very few, although I retain that indispensable.\nAs the conventional teratment of this disease remains unsatisfactory, among the various alternative treatments used there are also the following:\n1. S-adenosylmethionine(SAMe) that is used in the treatment of both osteoarthritis and depression and it is for oral use.\n2. 5-hydroxy-tryptofan(5-HTP). It is a serotonin precursor that has been administered for the treatment of depression, migraine, headaches and obesity.\nThere is a study showing an improvement of the situation of the patients who had taken this medication in 30 days.\n3. Capsaicin. It is containd in hot pepper and it is FDA approved for postherpetic neuralgia. It is for local use and is a topical analgesic and can be the costituent of plasters, as well.\n4. blue-green algae. Their meccanism of action, is not completely known, yet.\nIf you need more information about the dosage forms, you have to read the complete articles and of course refer to your doctor.\nWhat you have to take always into consideration, are the drug interactions among pharmaceutical and natural therapies.\n\nAll the best\n\nKaterina

Yeah, go ahead and listen to all these morons who think if you take opiates your automatically addicted...BS you will become dependent and have to taper them down rather than cold turkey but that is no different than any antidepressant or really any other meds you take for a long period. 30 a month that's 1 day I don't think it would be problem to up your dose but at a certain point as you already know you will develop a tolerance so continually upping your dose is dumb. But again at this point it shouldn't be a problem you’re at least trying to reach a level that will allow you to cope (counteract pleasure with pain without excessive pleasure) and when you reach that level you have to accept the fact that no more increases are an option and you will always have to bear some pain. Opiates are not intended to make you 100% pain free they are there to help you cope. Where would up your dose every month or even year put you in 20 years. Taking 1000 mg of opiates. You just have to be realistic. Since tolerance is inevitable you can get the same pain relief from lets say 40 mg rather than 120 mg in the long run. But again at this point depending on you pain you should be able to at least up the dose to a reasonable level that will allow SOME long term relief.  Follow your prescription to the T and you will not have to worry about addiction. So to the people that think opiates = addiction then why don’t people that get hurt (car accident, burn etc.) get addicted to accidents or hurting themselves LOL. When you hurt your self. Maybe a burn your brain activates its own opiate receptors (endorphins) to naturally curb that pain. Normally you’re fine until the next morning right or a few hours later when those chemical come down. Now let me ask you did you get high or buzzed after you hurt yourself. NO the same principle is true for opiates if your in pain. You’re counteracting that pain with chemicals that induce pleasure. You won’t feel the pleasure unless you’re taking to many opiates or you’re not in pain. That’s why you follow the script right. "WHEN NEEDED".  This is my own theory which I think should be directed to those doctors who fear addictions and lawsuits. For me this is just a common sense approach to effectively treating pain because hey it’s your life and while you have a right to meds that help you cope you do not want to add to your problems. Oh yeah I would change Doctors if you are in such pain where your current regimen is not helping you cope at all.

There is a happy mix for dying patients..Brompton cocktail.\n\nIt is a mix of morphine, cocaine and alcohol.  I have been around a few terminally ill patients.  I do not know the amounts I just know of it.  There is also morphine and the patch of phentalol (I think), spelled wrong.   Here it is:  transdermal phentanol patch.  But the first one is probably what you are looking for.  \n\nMy 99 year old grandma got the morphine (sublingual) and the patch.  I don't know if it helped her but it helped me to sleep.  SHe screamed all night from either pain or fear, I will never know.\n\nI do not think heroin is a good choice for anything.

the max dose of acetamenophin per day is 4.5 gm or 4500 mg.  Anything over this is harmful to the liver.  But do tell her to get help for her behavior!  It's not right for her to manipulate others feelings with threats of suicide!

Keep in mind that HRT was based upon taken natural estrogens, tinkering with them slightly, in order to produce biologically unprecedented analogues that could be patented and granted exclusive rights, allowing for incredibly high profits. This was an experiment that went awefully wrong. It turned out that it caused greater risk for cancer, stroke and heart attack.  The real irony is that the natural estrogens they started from, like the kind in black cohosh or soy leaf, or in flaxmeal are safe and capable of protecting us from cancer....but being that Mother Nature holds no patents, no doctor was interested in recommending these heavily researched phytoestrogens.  Phytoestrogens are relatively weak, but are capable of blocking out the action of synthetic or endogenously produced powerful estrogens, which can cause unregulated cell division, and other side effects like weight gain, stroke, etc.  The other side of the coin, though is progesterone, a "master" or "mother" hormone that actually is converted into estrogen in the body, and is itself a good remedy for hot flash, unexplained weight gain, mood imbalance, week bones, etc......it is actually the only safe way to put unopposed estrogen in check. But, make sure you get it either from someone who practices bioidentical hormone testing and replacement, or a health food store where they have mexican yam derived progesterone which is bioidentical to the way you produce it.  If you need a good reference check out Christine Northrope's "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom." She covers all the bases quite well, and being that she is a Female, she understands far better than any man.

there wont be any major side effects. it should increase your metabolism and supress your appetite while you take it. the problems is many people put the weight straight back on when they stop. constantly gaining and losing weight is bad for you. drink lots of water while you take it though.

Registered Nurse here; Yes it is safe, providing the two medications named above where prescribed for the person taking them.  Also if one if not allergic to Ciprofloxacin or Wellbutrin XL, the combination of the two are completely safe taken together.  Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question.  One is an antibiotic, the other Wellbutrin as I'm sure you know is an antidepressant.  The combo doesn't share any of the same chemical chain.
