My 25-year-old daughter is taking Zyprexa, Depakote, Lamictal, and Wellbutrin XL. Aren't these medications dangerous for her? She has experienced face twitching, memory loss, and sometimes fixed staring into space. I am concerned about the Zyprexa, especially after reading negative information online, but her doctor is prescribing it. Can any of these drugs be replaced with St. John's Wort? Please help!

I have a lot of unresolved health issues and the more research I do, the more I believe I have Addison's disease or something similar. I don't think I am producing enough cortisol to heal my body. It will probably take me over a year to get into see an Endocrinologist. What should I do in the meantime?

I went through a period of heavy drinking, over-exercising, and stress, which led to heart palpitations and panic attacks. After several trips to the emergency room, I was told I have benign ectopic beats and a grade 2 heart murmur, which some doctors can hear and others cannot. I also had an ECG showing an incomplete branch bundle block, confirmed by a heart scan as a minor partial right branch bundle block. Despite being extremely fit, I worry that these conditions could harm me. Are these normal variants?
