If you're taking HRT/Estrogen and taking antibiotics be very careful

I started HRT a few weeks ago, and have been plagued by problems since the very beginning. I was constantly anxious and it felt very hit or miss on how effective my HRT was on effecting my mood and mental state.

Turns out that I was treating a minor ear infection at the same time, and the anti-biotic I was using consists of two ingredients, and both of them block estrogen. No wonder I was anxious. Spiro was blocking my testosterone, but my antibiotic was blocking my estrogen, leaving my body with very little actual hormones to operate.

The ingredients that interfere with estrogen are here, with some links:

ciprofloxacin-dexamethasone:

If you're getting anxious or not noticing changes while on HRT, its good to know this. Feel free to share so more know about these drug interactions.

I'm feeling much better now.

YEARLY REMINDER: You Can’t Take Dayquil or NyQuil while on an SSRI

You can and or will give yourself serotonin syndrome (which can become fatal)

Mostly because the body aches I’m experiencing are brutal

And fuck if I don’t wish I could take some dayquil while the Motrin isn’t workinggggg

Check your meds against cold meds at Drugs.com

VIBING AND THRIVING.

A selfie is more than just a photo; it's a declaration of presence, a moment of confidence caught in pixels. Simply mine says, "I'm here, and I'm thriving”.

Live life with that open mind. have that open mind. Turn that dirty “ALL THE WAY UP” Fat joe voice.

We all have vices. I have mine. I love mine. You have yours. It’s all about perspective.

Hello! I have OCD and am currently taking abilify, prozac and trazodone at night for that, depression and issues with sleep schedule, and i was just wondering because i forgot to ask my psychiatrist, are there any foods or drinks i should avoid because they’ll mess with my meds?

Greetings! So you have a few other resources for finding this information (which I would recommend over my own shaky knowledge of psychiatric medications -- I don't manage those at all in Urgent Care):

Look at the medication information paper that is usually included with your prescription at a pharmacy.

Ask the pharmacist.

Search each of your drugs on a website such as WebMD (I know, I know, I rag on WebMD - but it does have positive uses also) or Drugs.com

As for some of the most common foods/beverages that interact with categories of prescription medications, this is a good "Top 10" list.

remember to research your meds interactions with drugs and alcohol before you do it! you can google the name and "with alcohol" or "with weed" or whatever you do and see the drug interactions. some will be fine, some will make your perscriptions less effective, some can be dangerous. you wont know until you research it so please do! and be honest to your dr/perscriber about what recreational drugs you do, even if its illegal, they wont report you, they just want to keep you safe.

Hey y'all, don't be like me and forget that caffeine is a stimulant drug and can in fact interact with medications. My dumb ass took 150 mg Wellbutrin and 4 Excedrin at the same time. Yes, I know 4 seems excessive, but if I take 4 when I start getting migraine symptoms, the migraine goes away immediately without me having to take more later.

However, This Was A Mistake.

Wellbutrin mixed with caffeine causes your blood pressure to go up. I already have high blood pressure, so now I'm sitting at 157 over 100. Not hospitalization level, but enough that I Can Feel It.

Caffeine is a drug. Caffeine can and will interact with your medications. I did not think about that because I've only been on Wellbutrin for a little over a month and have never had a long term prescription before. If you are like me and just starting medication, please don't assume your meds won't interact badly with caffeine. Your doctor may not even think to warn you about caffeine, mine didn't.

Check ALL interactions. Be safe out there.

It helps to have a cardiologist who actually knows about POTS and drug interactions between beta blockers and ADHD meds.

I do need to take ADHD meds again. Problem is all of them are either 2D6 substrates or inhibitors (Wellbutrin being a particularly strong inhibitor)

The bioavailability of propranolol is only 26%. So my cardiologist figured if I cut propranolol into quarters and take a quarter of a pill a day, the inhibiting factor of Wellbutrin will even out and I will still end up with 2.5mg available. These pills are safe to split and are made to be split.

For those unaware, enzyme inhibitors in the liver slow down metabolization and cause an increase level of substrate medication in the blood. This is a particular problem with beta blockers.

Okay despite my brain going a mile a minute I'm gonna talk to myself here and use Tumblr as my executive function boardroom meeting to take proper care of my ill ADHD self.

(looooong test post under cut. Likely boring but maybe useful to other people struggling with functioning and self care?)

I'm recovering from a tummy bug, nausea, diarrhea. Today I took all my meds at the one time, including my ADHD meds at full dosage, despite that I've been skipping them a bit lately. This has caused me to feel like maybe hypomanic, side effects too much meds, thoughts rushing, wrote too much to people. Ruining friendships with my social awkwardness of oversharing and being 'too much'. The ADHD meds are wearing off now. I am home alone. Today I have eaten rice crackers. I have had 600ml water. It's 5pm. I had 3 or 4 hours sleep last night because I was so ill. I am dirty and haven't had a bath or shower or brushed my teeth for 2 days. My house is messy in some places, the kitchen isn't so bad, and neither is my TV nook. I have a kitty to feed and look after.

Things I must do:

Feed kitty breakfast and dinner

Scoop kitty litter once per day

Put on dishwasher once per day and put away clean dry dishes

Sort out the laundry situation because right now it's insane. I have clean clothes and linens but they are in random piles around the house.

Take out rubbish to rubbish bins (maybe once per day as my house is messy and if I clean I will find rubbish)

Drink 3L of water each day

Eat healthy nutrition each day, spaced out regular meals, avoid spikes in blood sugar

Sleep!! Get sleep. Make a bed that is cosy, comfy, clean.

Shower or bath once per day

Brush teeth morning and night, or just night if struggling

Skin care morning and night, or just night if struggling

Comb my hair and wear it in 2 comfy cute braids

Spend more time on tumblr and being introverted and thoughtful, less time messaging people until my hypomanic symptoms have eased and I'm in control of myself

Figure out when to take which meds and at what dosage

Always take my leukemia medicine dasatinib at 12pm.

Do things that help me feel balanced and grounded

Slowly do things that will make my situation better e.g. tidying, throwing out junk, working through emails, making appointment phone calls, life admin stuff

Stay safe, don't do risky or harmful behaviours.

Make one room my dedicated SAFE SPACE. Make and keep it: clean, cosy, tidy, neat, spartan, minimalist, white sheets, soft lighting, good air flow, beautiful, relaxing, healing, comfortable, sensory good, suiting my needs. The rest of the house can be messy but if I have ONE room that is good I have a place to retreat to.

Choices for my safe room: my bedroom, my son's bedroom (he's at his dad's), my computer room, my TV nook.

My bedroom has a lot to deal with in it, but has the best mattress. I don't think I can fix my bedroom tonight.

My son's room is tidyish, wouldn't take long to fix up. His mattress isn't as good for my back. I sometimes like being in my son's room because it reminds me of him when he's away BUT I also ideally want that space to be just for him, with his things.

The computer room has the air conditioner which is nice for cooling but very loud. It has no mattress. It's a bit messy. I'd need to move furniture. It's not doable for tonight.

(Break to feed cat dinner, it's 6:17pm. Also cleaned and refilled his water.)

The dining room / library is insane. I wasn't planning on sleeping here. I just wanted to note that. Absolute chaos.

The TV nook is a small room with a couch and a single bed in it and the TV and a coffee table. I find the single bed mattress uncomfortable to sleep on. I find the couch comfy to sleep on. It's pretty easy to tidy up.

So my options are either my son's room or the TV nook, and there's a possibility of dragging my mattress from my room into either room if I can make it fit.

I am feeling very very dizzy and ill. I'll lie down now, then get water. Then I will probably need food. Protein, Complex Carbs, Veggies. Some brown rice is in the fridge. So is some tofu that I marinated I think it's still good? I might have some frozen green beans or carrots or something easy like that for veggies. I also have legumes like lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas. There's probably meat in the freezer but I don't think I can do that. I have eggs I think.

Okay, despite dizzy, now go get food and water. Then come back, eat on couch, while reading or TV, lie down, maybe sleep.

Plan more plans later.

For right now, get through the next hours. Give my body what it needs. Water. Food. Sleep. Hygiene. Maybe in that order or maybe after food and water I can do hygiene first.

Okay I have now eaten food and drank water. I think next need truly is sleep. My heart feels weird. But sometimes when I'm this level of messed up im afraid to fall asleep. I'm afraid that I won't wake up again. I'm afraid of that unknown darkness, of what waits for me behind my eyelids. But my body can do no more. I will clean my face with water and a washcloth. I will brush my teeth. I will put on my night cream. I will make the couch sleepable.

Now I have done all those. I've put a gentle lamp on. A fan blowing air. I will try and allow my body and mind to rest. I will curl up on my side and settle my racing heart. I am so nauseous and dizzy and sore and scared.

I must find my calm. And hold it close.

I wish I had someone to hold me. But I'm proud of myself for taking care of myself. It's a skill I need to master. Before I can find a Master.

Specific Drugs That Should Not Be Taken with CBD

Cannabidiol, or CBD, has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential therapeutic benefits. However, like any substance, it can interact with certain medications, leading to adverse effects. A comprehensive review by Balachandran, Elsohly, and Hill in 2021 identified several classes of drugs that should not be taken with CBD. This article explores these interactions in detail.

Interactions with Antiepileptic Drugs

Antiepileptic drugs, such as clobazam, stiripentol, and valproate, are among the medications that can interact with CBD. The primary concern here is that CBD can increase the concentration of these drugs in the body, potentially exacerbating side effects. For example, heightened levels of clobazam could lead to drowsiness or dizziness, while excessive amounts of valproate might cause liver damage.

CBD and Anticonvulsants

Another class of drugs that CBD can interact with is anticonvulsants, including diazepam, lamotrigine, and phenytoin. Similar to the antiepileptic drugs, CBD's interaction with these medications can result in increased drug concentration, which may intensify side effects. Therefore, patients using these drugs need to exercise caution when considering CBD use.

Sedatives: Increased Risks

Sedatives such as phenobarbital, hexobarbital30, codeine, and morphine can also have adverse interactions with CBD. The concurrent use of CBD and sedatives may amplify the sedative effect, leading to excessive drowsiness or lethargy. This could pose a risk, especially in situations where alertness is required, such as driving or operating machinery.

Potential Dangers with Antidepressants

CBD can also interact with certain antidepressants like omeprazole risperidone, tranylcypromine, phenelzine, and isocarboxazid. These interactions could lead to a range of side effects, from mild (like dry mouth or nausea) to severe (like increased depression or suicidal thoughts). As such, individuals on these antidepressants should consult with a healthcare professional before starting any CBD regimen.

Benzodiazepines and CBD

Benzodiazepines, including chlordiazepoxide, clonazepam, and ethosuximide, can also interact negatively with CBD. Unlike the previous drug classes, CBD's effect on benzodiazepines is to reduce their anticonvulsant effects. This could potentially lead to an increase in seizure frequency for patients using these drugs for epilepsy treatment.

Interactions with Thyroid Medication

Levothyroxine, a common thyroid medication, is another drug that can interact with CBD. While the specific effects of this interaction are not fully understood, it could potentially alter the effectiveness of the medication, leading to symptoms of overactive or underactive thyroid.

The Grapefruit Warning: A Key Indicator for Potential CBD Interactions

A simple yet effective rule of thumb for identifying potential CBD-drug interactions is the "grapefruit warning." Many medications come with a warning against consuming grapefruit, as this fruit can inhibit the same set of liver enzymes as CBD. If your medication comes with a grapefruit warning, it may also interact with CBD. However, individual responses can vary, so it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
