I've been on Lexapro 10 mg for 9 years, recently increased to 20 mg for postnatal depression and anxiety, but experienced severe nausea and insomnia. I was put back to 10 mg, but feel flat. Should I switch to Zoloft, and how should I manage the transition?

My endocrinologist recently increased my Synthroid from 50 mcg to 75 mcg. Since then, I’ve been having headaches, not sleeping well, and feeling very emotional. Is this due to the increase, and what other options are available if I can't tolerate Synthroid?

My husband (58) has occasional scattered T2 signal abnormalities on MRI, most likely ischemic, most prominently in the left frontal lobe. I'm wondering if the cause is related to his brother's FTD (frontotemporal dementia) or long-term alcohol use. His brother was diagnosed with FTD 5 years ago. My husband has a family history of dementia, alcohol abuse, and occasional migraines. What could be the cause of these abnormalities and what should we consider in his medical history?

I have a constant 'whooshing' sound in my left ear, a retracted ear drum in my left ear, and a bit of effusion in my right ear. I have chronic rhinitis and live in an area with bad sinus conditions. My PCP put me on Flonase, Claritin, and children's Sudafed, but the sound is still there. Could this be sinus-related, and is there a decongestant I can safely take daily?
