I'm in the process of decreasing Wellbutrin and increasing Lamictal. I plan to get off Wellbutrin completely. Will I settle into a good place? I'm feeling antsy and hard to be still. How long should I stay on the reduced Wellbutrin dose before fully discontinuing it? Should I increase Lamictal, and when should I make any changes to my medication regimen?

I was hit in the jaw while playing basketball. My jaw and head feel heavy with pressure, but I was not knocked unconscious. Can this cause serious brain damage, such as bleeding or a concussion?

Yesterday, I ate Taco Bell and took Excedrin Migraine around 3:30 pm. My headache went away within an hour, but at around 6 pm, I started to get a gnawing ache in the middle of my abdomen, about 2 inches under my breastbone. The pain is fairly intense, especially when my stomach makes noises, and feels like an uncomfortable squeezing followed by a loud abdominal noise. I have terrible anxiety and tried to make myself throw up but just dry heaved hard. Shortly after, the left side of my chest radiating to my back started to ache, which went away after I stopped panicking. I wasn't able to fall asleep until 6 am. The pain seems a little less severe but still feels gnawing and squeezing. I don't have a fever and I'm not bloated or tender to the touch. What could this be? I have had an ulcer in the past but I'm afraid this could be my gallbladder.

I had a knee replacement 8 months ago, but now I have a weak leg and cannot walk without a crutch. There is no swelling or pain, just weakness when I walk. This is the third replacement on this leg. What could be causing the weakness and what should I do?

Should I be concerned about the 30% blockage in one carotid artery and elevated liver enzymes caused by statins?
