Can Advil cause excitability?
97884
In other words....no.  very rarely will excitability be one of the side effects of advil as a matter of fact it causes the opposite.  However, you can't rule out excitability as a side effect because not all people respond to medicines the same way.  I've worked in a pharmacy for 3 years and I haven't heard of anyone having this effect on them after taking advil.

You aren't saying what type of medications you're taking. The stronger the pain medication, seems the more side effects like sleepiness go with it. Can you take Ibuprofen? \nI'm 40 and it sounds to me like you've done quite a bit in your life and you want to continue to do so, especially because that's what your children want? Children, bless their hearts, usually want what the parent wants, for their parents to be happy. =)\nAre there things you can do that aren't physically challenging? Maybe sell stuff on Ebay?\nIt's hard to give advice on something I have little feedback on. I hope you find the answers you're looking for.

not sure. i tried to look it up for you. but seems if its used in conjunction with another drug, it can. it didn't state weather it was addictable on its own. i never use ibuprofen though. i know enough that its not good for my kidney.

Of course it does. You feel more active now that you have 200% of caffeine RDA. Depending how you react to the pills, it could increase your stress with the increase reaction or you can be extremely happy but i guess also freaky with all that energy packed in, like a kid on coffee if you will.

midol...it doesn't work for me..i have to take extra-strength tylenol...and just so you know, I'm on the pill and it didn't help with my cramps.  If you are sexually active though, I suggest you get on the pill and do it quick.  If you don't want to get on the pill and midol/tylenol don't work for you, I suggest having your gynocologist prescribe some vicodin for you, but most people end up becoming addicted to vicodin.

Plain ole Advil doesn't not contain any aspirin... even in small amounts. \n\nHOWEVER: Ibuprofen does react with your body in a lot of similar ways to many salicylates, including acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). That's why, if you have a reaction to Aspirin, you should watch yourself with Ibuprofen, too.

Pretty quick, but a key is this, drink a HUGE glass of water before you go (keeps you from dehydrating which slows anesthesia down.  And take two tylenol or motrin before you go.  Stop off at Walmart, get some generic ibuprofin (motrin) and take {200mg every 4-6 hours for every 70 pounds you weigh.    IE if you are 140lbs take 400 mg} thereafter for a week.  It will keep the inflamation down

good stretching, some ibuprofen, hot pads and/or ice.....GNC also sells a pill called TRIFLEX, it contains glucosamine and chondroiton, which are said to help "lubricate" joints.....my knees are pretty bad also, I find that it helps out enough to where i keep buying it.

I have had fibro for twenty years now and I can tell you from my personal experience, pain medications do not work. I have tried everything up to Fentynl patches with Actiq suckers. The amount of pain medication that I require is too toxic to my system. After being on pain meds my liver function was consistent with Hepatitis induced from drugs, I had Type II diabetes, high blood pressure, rotting teeth, and terrible bowel problems from the pain meds shutting down my gut. I awoke one day with paramedics looking over me with my husband. I had come out of a seizure (which I'd never had before) and a temp of 107.5. Scary. Moral of the story, pain medication is not effective in Fibro pain treatment because if increasing resistance to the medication it builds up to toxic levels. You are really better off taking a good muscle relaxant (I am on Zanaflex)\n\nAs far as insomnia, first have a Sleep Study performed. Mine was ordered by a Neurologist This will tell you what is happening when and if you sleep. For instance I found out that I had three types of insomnia: chronic, initial (can't fall asleep), and maintenance can't stay asleep). I also get no REM sleep which explains the extreme fatigue. You can then work with your doctor to address your problems. \n\nThe fibro fog can be from medication side effects &/or the bodies concentration on the pain signals it is constantly receiving. I believe the fog is a combination of both and it is genuine. Sometimes I can't find words to say that I speak all the time. Or I forget things a lot. My computer calendar has helped tremendously. A study was performed to explain why we feel so much pain. You can find it at http://www.fibrohugs.com/article.php?story=20040301120311535\nThe increased pain response kicks our bodies into the "fight or flight response". Medscape explains that pain alerts the central nervous system to the presence of a major stressor to the body; one that demands a response. Pain experiences are typically accompanied by systemic responses similar to those that characterize the "fight or flight" dynamic. These responses are caused by the involuntary release of norepinephrine and adrenaline, which causes increased mental alertness, muscle tone, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. Facilitated clotting factor, shunting of blood from the viscera to skeletal muscles, increased visual acuity, and sweating also occur when catecholamines are released. The "flight or fight" response, although clearly beneficial to the endangered organism, can be a threat to the individual with chronic pain. Further, the level of high acuity and anxiety commonly associated with the "flight or fight" response is often caused by the anticipation of a painful event rather than the actual "experience" of one.\n\nTry taking warm baths in Epson Salt. It contains Magnesium Magnesium allows oxygen into your muscles, reducing cramping and spasms. Consult your doctor or a nutritionist to have your Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful. If you have a low level, which most people with Fibro do have, take Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements. There are a few studies listed below that explain the rationale of using the combination in treatment of Fibro. \n\nTry eliminating Monsodium Glutamate from your diet. I did and some of my symptoms (chronic headaches and nausea) went away. It is in everything from Doritos to chicken soup. A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". \n\nIf you need adjustments try to see a D.O. that is familiar with Firbro instead of a chiropractor. In my opinion Chiropractors tend to be a little more violent in their adjustments and can cause more pain in your soft tissue. D.O.s do a more passive adjustment.\n\nBefore you exercise make sure you really stretch out and breathe de

Actually I think he meant, "What would reduced extracellular Ca++ concentration (hypocalcemia) do to the synaptic transmission at the NMJ?"\n\nIf this is what you mean, then here's my answer:\n\nCalcium is required for the release of acetylcholine at the NMJ.  If there is a large reduction of calcium in the body, eventual results include flaccid paralysis, poor pupillary response to light, and coma.  This occurs after a temporary bout of hyperexcitability and tetany.

Advil and go to the dentist!

Sudafed gives u energy bcuz of a neat (but controversial) substance in it called ephedrine.  since ephedrine (aka pseudoephedrine) is used to make amphetamines (speed), it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there will be side effects.  these side effects include withdrawal, irritability, tremors, as well as dependency. it has been known to cause heart attacks as well.  hope this helps.

Depends on the type of painkiller.  I assume you don't mean Tylenol, aspirin, Advil, Aleve,etc.....NSAIDS\n\nI assume you do mean opiate analgesics such as Lortab or Percocet.  The xanax would probably add to the sedating effects of opiate analgesics.   Basically, any medicine with sedating side effects might add to another medicine with sedating side effects.

Yes, you can. It won't do anything adverse at all. I take compazine frequently, and have taken it with percocet.
