My dad (50 years old) thinks he has jock itch combined with an allergy reaction to peanuts or fish cake. He has little mosquito bite-like bumps around his buttocks and groin area, and sometimes feels itchy on his hands. He has had mild itching for the past couple of months but recently has been having trouble sleeping due to the itchiness. What could it be and what can we do to relieve it?

Why do I have to continue taking Risperdal when it has caused me so much suffering and is ruining my health? I have been taking it for 20 years, have gained 110 pounds, and experience insomnia, high triglycerides, acid reflux, nerve pain, and itching. It has kept me stable, but the weight gain is horrible. My primary care physician suggested I talk to my psychiatrist about it.

I have been taking codeine for around 2 years now and am unable to stop due to awful cravings and withdrawal symptoms. I am a recovering alcoholic and nearly 5 years sober. I also take antidepressants Vensir 300mg per day. I take around 10 to 12 30mg codeine tablets a day. Is there anything I can take to help me withdraw?

I have a severe itch problem in my groin area that I can't get rid of. I've had it for about a year and have tried various medications, including those prescribed by a doctor, but they made me sick. I work outside and sweat a lot due to humidity. What else can I try for relief?

I am a 41-year-old woman who often wakes up at night with severe nausea, weakness, and near fainting, feeling like my heart rhythm is too slow. My heart rate can drop to 50 beats per minute when awake. I have bicuspid aorta. Is this heart rate too low, and should I see a doctor?
