Quote: 8-(3-Chlorostyryl)caffeine May Attenuate MPTP Neurotoxicity through Dual Actions of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibition and A 2A Receptor Antagonism http://www.jbc.org/content/277/39/36040.abstract Caffeine and more specific antagonists of the adenosine A 2A receptor recently have been found to be neuroprotective in the MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) model of Parkinson's disease. Here we show that...

Technically, you have the right to refuse any treatment. But likewise, your doctor is able to refer you elsewhere if he feels that you are not being receptive to his suggestions. I think I've seen you post elsewhere that you hadn't stuck to any medication for longer than a month. Even though your reasons for stopping the meds seem totally legit, my experience with doctors is that they often like you to give something a chance before...

Tramadol can cause physical addiction and withdrawal as far as I know. I've used it in the past short term and it seems to give a bit of a mood lift. Don't think it is scheduled but does have potential for abuse, but much less than traditional opiates. It acts as a SNRI to a small degree - I think its available for use in the U.S. as Ultram for depression/anxiety?

No clue about online pharmacies,sorry. If you go here,the mfg will sign you up to get 50% off your rx's. https://www.pristiq.com/co-pay-assistance.aspx They also have another type of payment assistance program that you might qualify for. Also,explain your situation to your doc. Maybe he'll liberate a few more of those samples that the rep gives him. Best of luck

Ok well my doctor just gave me a sample of a new antidepressant, Pristiq (I know it's a "sister" to effexor, Ive been on effexor, and I dont want effexor I want pristiq at least for now until something crappy happens lol) and I wasnt thinking at the time that my medicaid probably wouldnt cover it, being that it's new and of course theres no generic. At the time I was in no condition to be thinking about such things. Well so...

I am young and I don't want to be so hard on my liver with all the meds I'm taking. What are some things one can do to make sure the liver stays healthy? I know that omaga-3's are supposed to be good, but anything else?

Remember, that are lots and lots of people that think Ritalin and...

Hey! I just replied to your PM and saw this post. I don't have insurance so I shop around A LOT for meds. I've researched this a bit, and I'm going to do what CptNemo said and do the 50% off. When my pdoc gave me samples, he also gave me this other bigger box/packet thing with a cd for savings. You can also sign up online at that link CptNemo posted. As far as prices go, Costco has by far been the cheapest as far as drug prices...
