How long does it take for swelling to go away after removing wisdom teeth?
It could just take a few days as the other repliers said. It depends on a lot of things - like your general health, if the teeth were impacted, how deep the roots were, etc. . Personally, I turned black & blue from the nose down to the armpits and was numb in the jaw for several months. Eventually, it all goes away and you'll be back to your usual self. While in this beautiful state, I had to go to work and school and everyone accepted it without any problem. Even went to a company Christmas party, although I could only have soup while everyonelse was eating steak and lobster. . In the meantime, keep in mind that extracting wisdom teeth is actually SURGERY. You need to get extra rest so sleep lots & then sleep some more. Follow your oral SURGEON'S instructions and try not to be self conscious. . Best of luck.
How long does it take for the side effects of a medication to go away, after I stop taking it?
First of all, let me reassure you that two weeks of discontinued use is not a long time for all of the effects of this med to be eliminated. I have taken numerous ADs over the last five years (Paxil, Celexa, Remeron, Luvox, Zoloft), not to mention the benzos. I am a bit surprised that you experienced 'delayed ejaculation' with Remeron. The wonderful side effect ( interpret saracasm here), is usually reserved for the SSRIs. As you probably know, Remeron is not a true SSRI and therefore typically does not exhibit all of the same side-effects. I used Remeron for about 2 years with varying success. The 'delayed ejaculation', problem you mention is very common in SSRIs and I too became very frustrated with that same side effect especially with Paxil. At the risk of TMI, my response time went from 15-20 minutes to well over 60 minutes typically. Some times my wife and I just gave up in frustration, so my heart is with you on this one. Anyway, with all that said, I think that you have nothing to worry about in the long run. My typical sexual response time was back to normal within a few months of switching to a low dose (25 mg) of Zoloft. So, the effects of Remeron should dissapate soon. Try to relax. Sometimes the effects of stress (worry) have more to do with things than we realize. Good luck, -Rob
How can I recover from anhedonia after discontinuing antipsychotics?
Have you only discontinued antipsychotics or taken some other measures too- like creating an alternative set of support systems for yourself, sought counseling/therapeutic support, created a plan for your life, roped in family/friends to support this, else sooner or later you will have another ‘breakdown’?there is no other way to deal with anhedonia, then talk it out with someone- who can help you deal with the withdrawal in diverse ways, but of course mediated by conversation.
How long does it take for an ear infection (in an adult) to go away after starting antibiotics?
I have a bad ear infection. I started antibiotics about 18 hours ago. I am also using ear drops and percocets. So far, everything feels about the same... except for about 2 hours after I take the percocet- then the pain is away... but it comes back with full force. I have 12 tablets of percocets for 3 days, so I am wondering if my ear ache will be gone by then?
How long does it take for a urinary tract infection to go away after taking antibotics?
It varies depending on whether the antibiotic was effective, &/or if it is chronic. I MUST warn, however--NEVER drink grapefruit juice when taking an antibiotic. Cranberry is good, & lots of water. I know a woman who was prescribed an antibiotic over the phone! & thinking fluids were good for her, drank her favourite--grapefruit juice. This increased the potency of the medication, & she suffered severe nerve damage that continues after nine years. It was floxin, & was long ago taken off the market. It's always best to ask your pharmicist's advice, since most doctors have little knowledge of pharmaceuticals. Antibiotics can also have contrandications with other medications. If you know the antibiotic is "safe," be sure to take the full dosage even if feeling better. Following up to to be sure the bacteria has been eliminated would always be wise.

How long does it take for s sunburn to go away? and how can i like treat it?
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/aw4Oe How is sunburn treated? It may help to: Soak in a cool bath. It may help to add bath products containing oatmeal to help decrease itching and the burned feeling. Put cool, moist cloths on the sunburned skin several times a day. Take an anti-inflammatory medicine, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. It will help the sunburn be less painful. It may also lessen the damage to your skin, especially if you start taking it when you first suspect you are sunburned. Carefully follow the directions on the package for taking the medicine. Put aloe vera lotion or another moisturizing lotion on your skin 3 times a day for 2 days. Put calamine lotion on your skin to lessen the itching. Take antihistamine tablets, such as Benadryl. Taking the tablets may cause you to become drowsy. Do not drive or operate machinery or equipment while you are taking this medicine. If you have just a few shallow blisters, treat them like a minor household burn. You can apply some antibiotic ointment, such as bacitracin, and then cover the blistered area with a bandage. Don't try to open the blisters. Let them open on their own, when the underlying skin can better protect itself from infection. If you are not sure about how severe your blisters are or if they are becoming infected, check with your health care provider. Signs of infection are increased redness or pain, and yellow discharge from the blisters. How long will the effects last? The symptoms of sunburn usually worsen 24 to 48 hours after you are burned. The symptoms gradually go away over the next few days. Sunburn causes long-term damage to the skin. Redness alone is the same as a first-degree burn. Redness with blistering is a second-degree burn. Both types of sunburn are harmful to the skin and over time increase the risk of skin cancer. Blistering burns increase the risk of malignant skin cancer (melanoma) by several times. This is especially true if you have severe sunburns 3 or more times when you are a teen or young adult. Too much sun exposure, even without sunburn, also causes the skin to age faster. Wrinkles, sagging, and brown sunspots develop at an earlier age
Will psychosis and paranoia go away on its own?
You might like to see Robert Whitakers review of antipsychotics long term effects. He’s an award winning journalist and an author at Mad In America. Usually people just give easy answer yes or no opinion that is based on their experience and don’t back their saying much with data.There is currently next to none data of recovery from psychosis without medical help because those people are outside of medical system. I am psychosis patient myself and I have known two people who have recovered from psychosis. One without treatment and one stopping her treatment. I like people with weird imagination and seek their company, so my experience really won’t tell how often that happens. In developed countries almost everyone with psychotic symptoms is treated forcefully so its hard to find those.Likewise someone working in health care only sees in his experience those cases who are brought back to hospital after stopping their medication and therefore usually tries to get everyone “medical treatment” thinking they are helping. Counseling is good but medication usually just brings short term benefits and people stopping medication usually become more psychotic than they were before and while eating them regularly outcomes are poor. Read that research paper! It has comparisons between medicated and unmedicated psychotics.There is one really interesting experiment called Soteria where people were treated living in homelike environment without medical professionals. Only portion of them used antipsychotics and their experiments using even fewer antipsychotics got better results.So basically just acceptance and talking without judging and being interested on psychotic person’s life and weird opinions and respecting his will as daily basis is usually enough to get psychosis and paranoia away. Is that going away on its own? I don’t know. The most of us don’t have those kind of people around. And even while getting the best treatments currently known there are those whose paranoia and psychosis won’t go away.I think answer depends on whether do you mean go always away or sometimes away. Psychosis and paranoia won’t always go away on its own. Sometimes they go. Is that good or bad thing? I don’t know. Many just see psychotic patients as danger to society and impossible to talk with. But psychosis and paranoia have good sides too. People just rarely speak about them because trying to get us admit that we are sick takes all the time.
How does a panic disorder go away on its own?
IT DOESN'T. (If u are on anti depressants that is )or moderately to severly depressed no deep breathing exercise or facing the mirror and talking to yourself and all the other bull that docs wld tell u help.I lie down, keep electrolyte mix in a bottle and sip it. Anxiety or panic attacks can wreck havoc on ur electrolyte levels causing a total imbalance which will result in severe weakness. I have an S.O.S medicine always in hand even when travelling. Cloze or clonazepam Md 0.5. Ask ur doc. And yes do anything that will prevent an anxiety attack in the first place. Organise ur closet books personal stuff , finances ,insurance, billseverything . Get help with these if required. Sometimes anxiety surfaces at the mere thought of putting stuff in order. So get someone to help you.that way u will not stress out each time u cant find something. Buy a white board and write a to list each day. Thoughts in order=no stress= no panic. And yes keep away from conversations or people who stress u out. U need to first protect ur brain, civility can come later. If u are on prescribed drugs pls continue and never miss a dose without medical consultation. If not, pls seek help from a psychiatrist. There's no shame in that. And yes u are not alone. Every third person has some mental problem or the other.the difference is some of us know what is wrong with us and try solving it while others are in denial. Cheers! Hope this helps. God bless! Watch a movie tonight!
