I have a problem with dry mouth?
I have developed dry mouth a side affect of the anti depressants I take. I have had it for seven months and it seems to be getting worse. What I need to know is has anyone ever experienced this and did the dry mouth go away on its own or did it go away once the medication was stopped.
or does it stay with you even when you have stopped the medication. has anyone switched medication to stop the dry mouth and was it successful if so what switch did you make.
Answer:
There is a product that is supposed to help dry mouth - I have no idea if or how well it works - it is made by the Sensodyne toothpaste people - Glaxo-Smith-Klein.
Oasis Moisturizing Mouthwash for Dry Mouth
I think they make a mouth spray too.
http://www.oasisdrymouth.com/
Hi Carol b, Im also on antidepressants, which ones do you take? If I remember rightly I had a really dry mouth at first, Ive been on them for a good two years and this problem seems to have lessened.
Long time ago a Doctor advised to suck on Lemon drops candies to increase the saliva ,give it a try it really works!
I also get a dry mouth from medication and unfortunately it has not gone away. I find that the only thing to work is to keep hydrated and during the day if it becomes unbearable chew sugarfree gum. If you really cant tolerate it maybe you should discuss with your Docter the possibility of changing medication.
what i would suggest is that you get some hard sugar free candies and just suck on them all day. it depending on what medication you get switched may continue to give you dry or cotton mouth or it may not i would do the hard candies first to see if that would help
I was on dosulepin for about a year and that always gave me a dry mouth and the need to drink lots of water. Never good with booze! I came off them and switched to St John's Wort. It proved the right choice for me. It just makes my pee smell of S t Johns' wort (and my under arms too,... Yuk!) Well I'm being honest and that is a small price to pay. Best have a word with your doctor, but they don't always know best. Good luck.
most anti depressant cause dry mouth.carry hard candy with you or a bottle of water.
i had it and i was told to chew gum to stimulate the salivary glands to work. it went away after i started doing that regularly.
My meds give me severe dry mouth.. doesn't seem to matter how much water I drink or if I chew gum suck on hard candy.. so one day I saw an ad for Oasis on the walmart site.. and got a coupon for it...and it works...I use the Oasis mouthwash after brushing... and carry the Oasis spray with me... it helps a great deal!!

I have a problem that i can't ever have a painting of a face in my room, is this normal?
And I always turn all the magazines and cereal boxes face down in the house if i'm sitting near them i always did this forever.
Answer:
no
No, but you don't have a major problem. Maybe it's because you're afraid to get nightmares? Faces are the MAIN cause of nightmares. It's ok, seriously.
Not quite.
i have a fear of checkbooks. so i think your normal.
No, dear, it's not normal.
This sounds like obsessive-compulsive disorder. (It's not all about out-of-control handwashing, like people tend to think.) It's about any sort of ritual that you "have" to do to feel at ease. There are some good treatments for it. I saw a program on TV and these people were on the road to recovery in only 2 weeks or so! As long as you keep doing the behavior, it only gets more ingrained. If you want to stop doing it, first of all, get therapy, and what they'll do is-- they will make you leave the cereal boxes alone and deal with the anxious feelings. You'll see that they come and will go. Next time, it won't be so bad. Next time, you may forget to turn them down.
Really, I'd seek some help now... you don't want more compulsions to sprout up. This seems harmless enough now, but the longer you reinforce it, you may find that a lot of your life is spent fooling with cereal boxes and magazines. and possibly more.

I have a problem in my brain, I struggle to remember!?
I recently went on a training course with my new work and had to complete several different tasks that were related to my job.I struggled the most out of everyone to do the tasks! I am not a thick person at all ! I am above average at almost evreything i do, but when it comes to new classroom things my mind just wont allow me to interprate anything I am taught! I havent used much of my brain over the last 5 years due to the nature of my previous job so I think it may be that,that has caused certain parts of my brain to fall asleep. Now in my new job I want to excel but feel I a may struggle on a day to day basis.Does anyone know of anything that will help me?
Answer:
Read books and keep a dictionary handy for words you don;t recognise.
Complete crossword puzzles and generally exercise your mind as much as possible.
Within a short amount of time you'll be on top of things again.
Have a word with your GP and ask to be referred to a community nutritionist. It could be that something you are eating is causing a bit of brain fog and by cutting it out you will be improving your brain's ability to remember things.
A homeopathic doctor should be able to perform the simple food allergy test on you. It is very revealing.
err... give up the weed dude! erm whats the question again man?
i don't know homie but whatever you do..don't take up weed if ur memory's already bad..
ask for the training to be offered using different styles of learning. a good trainer will know what you mean, everyone learns in different ways. maybe you should just make lots of your own mistakes to get it. try ginseng Siberian.
Read some memory books - Tony Buzan is good.
Everyone has the ability to remember almost perfectly, what you need training in is how to recall events once they are stored in your brain.
Using your memory effectively means being able to retrieve from your memory.
Try to focus on one task at a time. When in doubt, write down your tasks on a piece of paper in the order of completion. You may still be focused on your previous occupation, thereby confusing your present one. Take a deep breath, focus and complete each task according to urgency of same.
Take Omega 3 capsules 1,000mgrms per day. Give them a few weeks to get into your syatem and take them for life. Not only are they good for your mind they are good for your body in general. There have been quite a few studies done with them. You could look it up on the computer, should be lots of info.
There are several things that you can do to get the old grey matter working again. Read challenging books, join a club where you have to think about things, eg political, photography (which is much harder than it looks), do a night school class, they're enrolling soon! etc. If you drink excessively, then cut down; alcohol kills brain cells, stop smoking the weed, that also does your brain no favours at all, though it's not nearly as bad as alcohol. Start doing sudoku, they should be a challange for about two months, before they all become easy. Just challange you mind, frequently.
And stop eating croissants.

Your symptoms could be indicative of a serious problem that needs to be addressed by a professional, as soon as possible. Please talk to a psychiatrist and address the issue of your anxiety. This may alleviate the problem. If not, then you may need to find a therapeutic dose of the correct psychotropic medication to make these symptoms go away. best wishes to you
Might be depression or something serious.Go see a doctor and he can only diagnose your problem.
You are paranoid and need to seek psychiatric help.
Dear Vidi,
YOU ARE IN NEED OF URGENT HELP!
It is imperative that u tell this to Parents and see ur Family Physician immediately.

In case u have experimented with drugs or unknowingly used substances given by friends to remain awake u must immeditely stop using them and seek help from a Psychiatrist without wasting any more time.
Treat this reply as a urgent message to seek proper medical help at ur earliest as both sleep deprivation and poor intake of food will make u vulnerable to more sufferring.

I have a lump in my throat. I suspect thats its the Celexa causing it. Will it ever go away and not come back?
I just started taking Celexa about 3 weeks ago.
Answer:
Celexa and Paxil are very similar in make up. It may be the same reaction. Contact your prescribing doctor or the pharmacist, to see if this could get worse.
try contently clearing ur throat, it sld go away but it may come back later on in life!
go check it out with your doctor as soon as possible
why not call your g.p. and ask them though, i don't think an antidepressant will cause it.
Speak to the person who prescribed the Celexa. If it is bothering you a lot, call their office right away and make a follow-up appointment.
A lump in the throat is *not* usually a sign of a dangerous illness (caveat: I am not a physician!) It is however associated with anxiety, as well as acid reflux disease.
Side effects of medication should always be addressed by your prescriber, or another trusted physician/nurse practitioner.
You should seriously get this checked out. A lady I know recently had a lump in her throat and it turned out to be thyroid cancer.
I was on Paxil for 7yrs and now im on celexa (1yr) and Ive never had that prob nor do i know anyone with a lump in their throat from any antidepressant..u sure u swallow it correctly?lol

I have a little boy with adhd and oppositonal defiant disorder.?
My son is a very loving little boy but he flies into terrible rages and temper tantrums and when he is all done he is loving and wants to cuddle. I would like some advice from other parents who are experiencing this type of behavior and what we can do to limit his outbursts and to try and keep him off medication? thank u
Answer:
Please don't think that the answer is limited to keeping him off medication. I know it is difficult to consider putting your own child on medication but, if it is necessary then you must make that important decision. I have seen too many lives ruined by denying medication. Oftentimes problems exacerbate with age, and too often children do not "grow out" of behaviors. Please talk to a professional in child development. I ignored my son's behavior for many years, thinking that he would come around. Unfortunately he didn't and he is now in prison for the rest of his life because of his anger.
I hope you have a good child psychiatrist.
I would talk to the pediatrician. The few kids I know like that have to be on medication or they become almost dangerous. My son is 11 and his best friend has the same thing. When they first met, this little boy didn't like something another kid said and went home and got a metal rake and went back to the park and started swinging it. I wouldn't let my son hang out with him for a long time. Now they have started talking again and are totally inseperable. His mother told me that the doctor said he could come off his meds for summer. Well they tried to wean him off and after just a couple of days of a lower dose he got violent. He threw a large rock at my son's head and left quite a goose egg. He was sorry, and is basically a good kid but if he is not on meds I won't let my son near him. Maybe there are some support groups in your area that you can join and talk to other parents for some ideas. It is really important that you talk to the doctor about that.
Who diagnosed him? Are you sure he isn't bipolar? Does he remember the rages after they are over?
If you go to the web site for The Bipolar Child book, they have a quiz online with questions. The authors are Papolous (I hope I spelled that right). It's a hubby and wife team. If you Google the name of the book and find their web site there is a wealth of information.
Yes, kids can be bipolar, too! And the kids usually have either ADD or ADHD, and appear to be ODD, but after they are on meds you see that they aren't ODD. They are bipolar and only act ODD when their bipolar illness is untreated.
I don't know what your child's problem is. I am only suggesting this because if you get an accurate diagnosis then you can also get good treatment. My teen is BP, and his illness is severe...but with the right meds he is now living a normal life.
Yahoo! Groups has some terrific groups for parents with kids who are bipolar. If you go to Yahoo! groups and search you will find a place to go ask questions. Even if your child isn't bipolar, these parents will have a ton of information and be able to help you through the maze of mental health professionals. And lend a sympathetic, understanding ear! Only those of us who have lived with, or live with, a raging child can understand what it's like.
Don't blame yourself for your child's illness. You are looking for help, so you deserve a big hug right now! :)
Good luck!
i'm so happy to hear that you are keeping your child from taking medication at such a young age. i take medication for bi-polar but personaly think that child shouldn't take in until they are older. but really the only thing you can do is ignore them when he has these outbusts and cries. when you ignore him he will quit eventulay, but don't baby him because it only ads fuel to the fire! i wouldn't spank him or yell at him either, just simply walk into the other room and start doing something. and when he comes into the room your in after cying, and such ask him if he done , and then hug him and hold him tell him you love him. sometimes kids can't control this thats why it's a disorder and not just a behavor problem.
I am raising a child with O.D.D. One thing I realize helps is the way you correct or discourage in appropriate behavior. When he is displaying inappropriate behavior get down to his level calmly whisper to him and tell him what he did wrong and ASK him to correct it also tell him something he did correct possibly be fore you show him what he did wrong. Ever 30 minutes that he is displaying good behavior tell him how much of a good job he is doing. This helped alot with me and my child I hope this helps you.
P.S.
Explain this concept to the family and friends these kids hate to be embarrassed or ganged up on so one person disciplining him at a time once that situation has been resolved let it go. begin to praise him again and again.
hi im not a parent but i do have ADHD and i have also oppositional defiant disorder and im right now 18 and i have had that since iv been a little kid but i dotn know from the view of a parent but i do know that mad really mad when i was smal my mom would just let it pass but so i wouldent get mad she also told me what was she goign to do and said we need to do this and if i did not want to she would just tell my why and stuff and if i was doing something bad she would not raise her voice she would alsways speak in a normal voice and tell me what was i doing wrong and why about the ADHD medication well i dont know iv tryed to not take them but my grades go down eaven when i try so i would recomend to try natural medication i dotn remember whats calld but its a natural medication that works the same way *** ritalin or metadate or any other medication but i hope i helped you atleas a little bit and if you want you can e-mail me at babygirl12200571@yahoo.com
ooh before i go do nto put him on estratera
WOW. My little sister (age 7, ADHD and anxiety disorder sufferer) sounds exactly like that kid. Hey, I know how it feels to have a seemingly half insane/half lovingly adorable little sister/son. She's getting better now that she sees a therapist and we put her on these anxiety pills that I'm on too. Video games keep her enthralled but when she loses, she used to hit the nearest person but now after some therapy she keeps a little pillow with her and she squeezes it instead. We're just taking baby steps to help. Keeping her busy but not stressing her out works best. Best of luck!
My son doesn't have the rage thing, but has the hyperactivity and ADHD. We tried eliminating any unnessecary sugars,caffiene, had counseling, tried diferent activities, and so much more. We had a local teacher come to the house once a week to help with reducing anxiety and hyperactivity with activities and learning aides and none of it worked. He also had a school phychologist and outside the school one as well. In the end i learned it was do or die. After 3 years of declining attitudes and grades and my son loosing friends cause he scared them so much we put him on Adderall XR and he has improved 100 fold and even though parents will tell me on here I was wrong, I always figure we know our own kids better then some unknown onYahoo. You have to try different things. We looked online for ADHD tips and seeked counseling for him by a child phycologist. We tried every resource a small town of 3,000 could have, but in the end we couldn't let him suffer anymore, because he knew he was different and he knew he was loosing friends, and he knew he was getting D's and F's and he hated it.
My son is still my son on this medicine except he can control himself now. When i set bounderies now, he understands and listens. He is control of himself, not the other way around. Tommorrow is his 7th Birthday and he has 12 friends coming to his swimming party and he is proud because he didn't have more than 2 firends last year. People can applaud you or chastise you for giving medicine, but it all comes down to your child and your beliefs, i am so glad I was open to medicine, my child is now normal because of it.

Tommorrow is his 7th Birthday and he has 12 friends coming to his swimming party and he is proud because he didn't have more than 2 firends last year. People can applaud you or chastise you for giving medicine, but it all comes down to your child and your beliefs, i am so glad I was open to medicine, my child is now normal because of it.
