How long after taking Bactrim DS to get into a tanning bed.?

Bactrim DS is a drug that increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun, and as the intensity of a tanning bed is very high, you may want to give yourself a couple days to let it clear from your system.

How soon after taking 100mg of Lamictal can you drink alcohol?

Honestly, you should not drink when you're taking Lamictal. I'm pasting the warning that Mayo Clinic has on their website, which I've included the URL for.

This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you are using this medicine.

This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert. After you have taken this medicine for a while, this effect may lessen.

How Renvela Works

Taken with meals and snacks1,2 as instructed by your healthcare provider, Renvela® (sevelamer carbonate) soaks up and holds on to (or binds) the phosphorus found in the foods you eat. It then carries phosphorus out of the body through your digestive system. Unlike other phosphate binders, Renvela does not contain calcium or metal3, which can stay in your body. It is also not absorbed; therefore, it does not accumulate in your body. Renvela passes through your digestive tract without building up in your body.

How long will it take before my blurred vision goes away after stopping Cymbalta?

Stopping cold turkey was sort of an accident. We had a camping trip last weekend and I forgot to bring my cymbalta with me. I am glad I stopped though, from what I have read "weaning" is no different from stopping cold turkey and going off this drug after long term use is horrible. I'm just really concerned about my vision. I have a call into my doctor and am awaiting response.
