Comment on How can SSRI’s cause dry mouth when they don’t affect the acetylcholine receptor? by whatafooliam

Seriously asking a psychopharmacology question on YA! is not going to elicit many answers, that said, I’d recommend reading the PI sheet that comes with the medication.

There are several types of 5-HT receptors, the potential for cholinergic over lay exists, and the mechanism of "dry mouth" isn’t necessarily solely the responsibility of ACH.

How the health system in panama does not work? As the average Panamanian would say, public health care is very poor, worse yet if you are not employed, less health care coverage than those with social security coverage.

in panama anyone can go to the hospital and be seen at the public hospitals for free.. but to understand the system better u first need to understand that in Panama there are two classes of people: really poor and really rich.. so normally the poor people go to the public hospitals and the rich people use the private hospital (John Hopkins hospital). But both the public and private hospitals are very nice.. the public one tends to be crowded where as the nicer private hospital is not that crowded.

Kaiser Senior Advantage begins at age 65. It around $100 a month plus your Part B Medicare monthly premiums. If you retire before age 65 you would have an individual plan. I suggest contacting an insurance agent and finding out what insurance and what plans are available in your state.

Comment on Eye drops for dry eyes? by Thirdtwn

There are a lot of OTC drops for dry eyes. I would try the cheap ones first. They may work better than the more costly ones. However, if Systane is working for you, stick with that.

Hi there- I would continue with the systane AND add a carbomer gel in 4x daily( including a spot before bed and a spot in the morning upon waking- Such carbomer gels are Viscotears or GelTears. If these do nt work for you then perhaps an OINTMENT prep is necessary before bed- Such as Lacrilube- Downside about any of the drops(bottles) of artificail tears is that they only last a very short while whereas Gels and ointments lubricate for much longer- The downside about taking gels and ointments(especially the ointments) is that they are a little more difficult to put in the eyes and therefore a little messy- You CAN use more than one product /type of product in conjunction with one another- I would keep with the systane and incorporate either a carbomer gel but if this doesnt work substitute the carbomer gel with Lacrilube ointment- The punctal plugs may beworthwhile trying as most eyes seem to respond well to them i find..I hope this helps-

You need to clean out your bowels. The bowels are the sewer of your body. If they’re gunked up with rotting food (the average person carries between 9-25 lbs. of fecal matter (poop), your breath will stink.

Food needs to be digested, since it can take up to a week to poop out what you eat today.
