I am 80 years old and have become more sedentary, watching too much TV and using my phone for everything. I have noticed a sour odor under my breasts and around my stomach area. I am a diabetic and keep my body clean. How long have you had the odor? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the odor? Is there anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?

I have been prescribed Xanax for anxiety and have been taking 0.1mg at bedtime for 10 years. I have recently reduced my dose to 0.25mg once at bedtime over the past two weeks. What should I look out for as I continue to wean myself off Xanax, and is it okay to taper down to zero?

Should I be concerned that my body involuntarily moves and my head shakes hard left to right when I am trying to go to sleep? I experience hard head shaking, involuntary body jerks, talking in my sleep, restlessness, body injuries and scratches when I wake up, and I have an autoimmune disorder called Sjögren's disorder.

I took my Wellbutrin XL 150mg earlier than scheduled, at 4am instead of 11am. I'm experiencing anxiety, slight vertigo, and sweaty palms. I'm unsure if these symptoms are due to taking the medication early or if I'm just nervous. I've been on Wellbutrin since July 2018, starting at 100mg Wellbutrin SR and then switching to 150mg Wellbutrin XL in November 2018. I'm also on Buspar 10mg three times a day. Can taking Wellbutrin XL early cause these symptoms, and is it safe to take Buspar again if it's been more than 8 hours since the last dose?

My son has influenza B and is taking Tamiflu. Should the people in the house and his elderly grandparents, who do not live in the same house but are at risk, also take Tamiflu as a precaution? Additionally, if I had contracted influenza B in 2016, could I get it again, and does that affect my immunity to other strains like influenza A?
