Hi (32f). I have had a total of 5 kidney stones over the past 4 years. I had a cystoscopy done in January this year and they were able to crush & vacuum the stones out. I went 2 weeks ago to have a CT done before a follow up appointment to make sure I dont have anymore stones. I didnt.

Yesterday, I was doing things around my house and got this bad pain on my left side out of no where. It doesnt hurt/burn to pee, my pee is a normal color. I still have this pain in my left lower side. It feels like my past kidney stones have in the past, but can one form in 2 weeks??

Hi, I live in NC and work for a trucking company. I get paid hourly and hours are Monday - Friday (8am - 5pm) with an hour lunch break.

Here lately, I have been asked to work/answer calls after hours or in the middle of the night. I was told my manager is supposed to be doing these things since im an hourly employee but when I asked my manager, I was told that I was a dispatcher and so trucks will need to get up with me. I was also told by my manager that their phone does not allow them to answer or get calls past a certain time at night - im assuming its the sleep feature, but I know it ca be turned off.

Is this legal? Also, if they were to suggest me getting on salary, do I have the right/option to refuse and remain hourly??

Anyone else on a low dose and still have a beer or 2 once in a blue moon?

I’ve had kidney stones in the past and I like to have a beer or 2 a couple times a month to make a pee a little more. Anyone else drank??

Anyone taking this and having off the wall vivid dreams?? Is this a normal side effect lol??

Hi, new here. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago with manic bipolar disorder and put on Lamotrigine. I started at 25mg and last Wednesday, I was upped to 50mg but had to come back down to 25mg bc it was making me rage filled and violent. That’s when my psychiatrist told me to come back down to 25mg and sent a script for Hydroxyzine (10mg). She told me it’s like the brother to Benadryl.

Anyone else taken these 2 together?

I’ve posted in here quite a bit with questions. I have manic bipolar disorder and was put in Lamotrigine a few weeks ago at 25mg. I upped my dosage - per my psych- to 50mg on Wednesday. Since upping my dosage, I have been rage filled and violent. So I spoke to her yesterday and she told me to go back down to 25mg and sent me in a low dose script is Hydroxyzine.

Anyone else taken the Hydroxyzine alone or with Lamotrigine? She told me it’s kinda like Benadryl and will make me sleepy. I don’t want to be “zombied” up.

I do go in Monday to get a genetic test done to see what pairs best with me.

(31F) I recently posted in here a couple weeks ago with a new diagnosis of Manic Bipolar Disorder and was put on 25mg of Lamotrigine. It has been a noticeable change and yesterday (Wednesday), I started taking 50mg. For the past few days, I have been irritable - like I was before I found my diagnosis and put on medicine. This morning I was all over the place. I woke up hating everyone. Cried on the way back because I felt like I wasnt good enough and will never be good enough.

Is this normal? I know this is still a low dose, but is this typical with this medicine? I know my psychiatrist told me if I started having feelings of harming myself or others or felt like I was going into a deep depressive state to call her ASAP. Im not at the point of harming myself or others, but this morning I felt kinda set me back because its how I used to feel. I feel better now and more leveled off, but just seeing if anyone else has felt this too.

Thanks.
