I was prescribed Roxithromycin 150mg twice a day for a sinus infection. I have two main concerns: 1) Does this antibiotic affect birth control? 2) I have an intense fear of vomiting. Is roxithromycin more gentle or well tolerated compared to amoxicillin, and how common is vomiting on this antibiotic?

I stopped taking Prozac two months ago and am now experiencing severe sleep issues with restless legs and increasing depression. I was diagnosed with Major Depression over 20 years ago and the main side effects of Prozac were loss of libido and memory loss. I have seen doctors about these issues but they were dismissed as age-related. I also have asthma, which is well-controlled. What alternatives to Prozac can I consider that do not cause sexual dysfunction?

I have been taking PPI (proton pump inhibitors) since 2015, and recently, I have been feeling heavy and tired after taking Nexium. I have reduced my PPI intake to 2-3 times a week, but I am concerned about the risks associated with long-term PPI use, such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. Additionally, I have not been able to walk long distances or lift heavy things without feeling out of breath, even though my heart and lungs are fine. What should I do to reduce these risks and manage my symptoms?

A friend recommended I try coffee enemas to detox. I had kidney cancer and one kidney has been removed. I researched and found mixed reviews. Is there value in coffee enemas or is there danger, especially considering my medical history?

I was treated for a UTI and have one day left for antibiotics. I was also prescribed yeast infection medication, but I started experiencing symptoms two days after taking the medication. The symptoms include more grey, chunky discharge. Did I take the medication too soon or too late? What other medications can treat this, and do you recommend using boric acid suppositories?
