What is the usual dose for the medicine AcipHex?
My doctor gave me AcipHex samples today, but I don't remember how many he said to take, and how often. For anybody that takes it, how often do you take the medicine? Thanks

Could this be irritable bowel.. Bentyl medication?
I have a severe pain in my upper right side, I was in the hospital for it. They said that the CT scan showed a thickening of the intestines, but that that's not uncommon and 9 out of 10 times the colonoscopy shows nothing. Could my IBS be causing this pain? I am in my early 20's and don't want a colonoscopy. I'm really worried about the pain, it's affecting my job, and life in general. Any advice? Also I was prescribed bentyl to see if it would help, anyone else on this, how long does it take to adjust to it? I'm constantly tired and don't feel "right" ? thanks!

Do you get cankersores(mouth ulcers inside your mouth)?
I just went to the doctor and he prescibed some really good mouthwash called Stanford mouthwash with Carafate. I thought I would let you all know what to ask for if you go to the doctor for recurring canker sores.This mouthwash has everything in it that can cure whatever could possibly be causing your miserable canker sores.
Calvin Dykes say:
I have them, especially when I accidentilly bite my own lip. Can you get it over the counter?
Craig Irvin say:
this could be a complete myth, but I heard taking Lysine supplements is supposed to help. it might be worth a try?
Joan Tanner say:
I used to get them after smoking the occassional cigarthats when I decided that was not a good thing to doI have not had one in the 15 years since
Sadie Cunningham say:
It's called simplex herpes, I've had it since I was about six, it's just something you were born with and it's not contagious. I always used warm salt water, it burned a bit but it took care of the problem.I still get them but it's not as bad. Just brush your teeth regularly, keep control of the bacteria in your mouth.
Susan Carter say:
it's called herpes simplex 1 and the mouthwash can not cure what is causing the sores……it probably helps them and speeds up the process in healing and granulation, but it can't cure them…..herpes is incurable, but managable….sorry for the news.
CLOSED QUESTION
Is there a home remedie out there that helps with anxiety,panic attacks?
I have mitro valve prolapse regurgatation,i take bp medication and protonix for heartburn,i'm wanting to go to college but i get anxiety and panic attacks..
David Hascall say:
Be cautious with herbal remedies because there may be interaction with your current medication. Try yoga or meditative breathing. When you feel your heart start to race, take deep, slow breaths. Think about only one thing, such as relaxing your muscles. Feel your body relax and calm. Then go about your day. This will take practice, so start now and you may be ready to take a summer session at college. Also, don't let things pile up. The more you have to do the more stressed you are. Start now and take care of the things you have been avoiding or ignoring.Start school slowly, have a plan and practice. If you want to get therapy to find the source of your problems then you can, but if you want to deal with the panic, remember you can control the physical responses that trigger the attack.Best wishes to you.
Deborah Sherman say:
Try doing something routine -wash dishes, do laundry,brush teeth,take a bath or shower.Tell yourself that the attacks will pass because they do.Now,hike yourself to an MD and get something for them.
George Cone say:
"CALMS" or "CALMS FORTE" are great for reducing anxiety without side effects. You can find this at a health food or drug store (like Osco's or Walgreen's).
Anthony Pelletier say:
there is a chinese herbal formula called Gui pi tang which is good, but you should get a consultation with a traditional chinese medicine practitioner to make sure it is appropriate. usually costs about $30 for a consultation and $7 per week for the herbal formula
