My son was given various psychotropic medications including Haldol, Cogentin, Latuda, Seroquel, Zofran, Prozosin, Propranolo, and Loperamide over a 45-day period due to a psychosis episode caused by smoking a laced marijuana joint. He is currently on Seroquel 600mg and may be increased to 800mg, despite not being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Can he return to a normal state of mind after this period of medication?

I have whole body aches, skin aches, and frequent sharp/dull headaches in different areas of my head, along with a tingling and bothersome feeling. I have no nausea and it's not a common headache. I also have depression and anxiety treated with prescriptions for many years. The severe body and skin aches only appeared in the last 24 hours. What could be causing these symptoms?

I had a potential exposure to the HIV virus on 5th May from a receptive oral sex encounter with a Nigerian female. I have tested negative after two weeks and today at 6 weeks. My glands have swollen in the back of my neck at the base of my skull, I have a headache, and I had night sweats. I have no rash, fever, or sore throat and generally feel well and am still very active. Other blood tests show no signs of bacterial infection, and I'm negative for herpes, syphilis, and chlamydia. What is the likelihood of HIV after my encounter, and should I stop worrying after two negative tests? My doctor says I should have another test at 3 months, but I feel like I can't wait for a definitive answer as I'm due to see my long-term girlfriend in 4 weeks. Any advice to stop me from stressing out?

Hello Doctor, I had an appointment where my doctor wasn't alarmed by my dizziness, attributing it to omeprazole and high blood pressure (140 over 90). He said I likely don't have HIV but will run a blood test for peace of mind. My main concerns now are how to lower my blood pressure and why my gums are sore. What can I do about these issues?

I have high blood pressure after a colonoscopy, with a reading of 167/113 and a heart rate of 76. I also have multiple sclerosis (MS) and am experiencing tingling sensations all over. I take losartan potassium 50 mg daily and have taken an additional pill to help. My normal blood pressure is around 122/70, and I was fine yesterday. My family has a history of high blood pressure, my mom had a double bypass, and my dad passed away from a massive stroke. I also take a baby aspirin daily. I am experiencing slight shortness of breath and a heavy chest. What should I do?
