Iodine, Strong (Systemic)
Brand name(s): soluti
Before Using This Medicine
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For strong iodine, the following should be considered:
Allergies-Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to iodine or potassium iodide. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.
Pregnancy-Taking strong iodine during pregnancy may cause thyroid problems or goiter in the newborn infant.
Breast-feeding-Strong iodine may cause skin rash and thyroid problems in nursing babies.
Children-Strong iodine may cause skin rash and thyroid problems in infants.
Older adults-Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of strong iodine in the elderly with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.
Other medicines-Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking strong iodine, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following:
- Amiloride (e.g., Midamor) or
- Spironolactone (e.g., Aldactone) or
- Triamterene (e.g., Dyrenium)-Use of these medicines with strong iodine may increase the amount of potassium in the blood and increase the chance of side effects
- Antithyroid agents (medicine for overactive thyroid) or
- Lithium (e.g., Lithane)-Use of these medicines with strong iodine may increase the chance of side effects
- Bronchitis or
- Other lung conditions-Use of strong iodine may make this condition worse
- Hyperkalemia (too much potassium in the blood) or
- Kidney disease-Use of strong iodine may increase the amount of potassium in the blood and increase the chance of side effects

Question: Do you know of any non-biased scientific studies?

I've been looking for any non-biased scientific study that shows an actual benefit in any sort of 'anti-depressant' (Which I recently weened myself off of, due to a general lack of results and a total lack of proof that they work at all).
All the studies I have found have been funded by the drug companies themselves, and they are notorious for throwing out studies that they don't like the results of (Just ask the New England Journal of Medicine). For all the studies, there's only a minimal (5-10%) difference between the placebo and the actual drug for effectiveness.
Where can I get some real information? Is it even available to the public?

Hi Wayne. I need to find out about schizophrenia for both a story I'm writing and for a psychology essay. What are the effects of a withdrawal from clozapine? Like if someone suddenly goes off their meds after being very good for a few years and taking it whenever they must.

Hi Wayne,
my little sis has just been diagnoised with schizophrenia, shes turning 19 next month.We know that its due to smoking dope. The doctors are starting her on Clozapine. Will she become better, will my sister have a life, as right now shes in a hospital and is medicated to control the voices in her head. Its comforting to know other people have gone through this. Whats the best way to deal with my sister- she does not like to many questions and becomes aggressive.
I would love to hear from other people and their advice.
Thanks

Paroxetine
quote:Hi just read your message. I have just started on Paroxetine and like you am unsure whether i like it or not, i feel constantly tired and sometimes a little dis-orientated, think thats normal but i cant seem to concentrate on anything. I started off taking them with my breakfast and felt tired through the day so switched to taking them before i go to bed but i still feel the same during the day. Are you still on them? Have they done you any good?
