So I have been having symptoms of a yeast infection for a few days, have tried an OTC method and it has not helped. Since it is Sunday tomorrow, therefor not being able to go to a regular doctor until Monday or Tuesday.
I was wondering if a yeast infection can be diagnosed at an Urgent Care setting? Please no funny business.

All smokers who want to quit smoking know how hard this really is. It may not seem this way, but it really is. And it’s not the physical addiction that is the biggest problem, no. This one can be overcome with just a few days of ambition and self motivation. The real problem is the psychological addiction. The brain needs the nicotine, otherwise the craving starts. And it is really hard to succeed in convincing your brain that you don’t want nicotine any more. That is why all persons who wish to quit smoking are hopping for a magic pill that would make everything easy, they want a quit smoking pill.

Fortunately for them this quit smoking pill exists, not in just one form but in more, although the specialists aren’t totally sure how do these things work.

Types of Quit Smoking Pills

Zyban is a pretty new medication that does not contain nicotine and is designed to help people quit smoking, therefor it is a quit smoking pill. It was initially designed to be an antidepressant and it was first used in depression treatment. A lot of smokers have found it helpful when wanting to quit smoking. It is said that it also reduces the nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

Zyban must be taken twice a day, and it needs at least a week before its effects start to take place. Like the majority of the quit smoking pills, it is recommended that Zyban should be used for about 8-12 weeks, although the company producing him says that it can safely be used for a long term too.

Another quit smoking pill is called Rimonabant and it works pretty much the same way as Zyban does. Other quit smoking pills are currently being developed, drugs such as Ta-Nic, a resembling medicine from Xenova Group in England or Varenicline, a drug from Phizer medical company.

How does the Quit Smoking Pill works

All the quit smoking pills are based around the same idea. They have to boost the level of chemicals in the brain, and as a direct result the person taking them will have a pleasant feeling of comfort and joy. It can also give energy to the patient. This whole process is made to help the body eliminate the nicotine or at least lessen the withdrawal from nicotine.

At least in studies the quit smoking pill has a proven effect. In reality there are people who say that it really works, and there are also people who say the opposite. Whether you decide to take the quit smoking pill or not, the decision is yours to make. But make sure to ask the opinion of your doctor too, before actually making the choice.

Tash ?RIP Deb? asked:


I switched hair products two weeks ago and I have allergies so I guess my skin must be sensitive to it because my scalp dried out and then I got bad dandruff which is odd for me as it’s never been a problem before. Now my hair is falling out more than normal (a lot more). I read on several medical sites that severe dandruff can cause hair loss, but didn’t mention a treatment.
Will treating the dandruff with medicated shampoos solve the hair loss as well? I’ll be seeing my doctor in a few days but am interested in how to treat this from any one knowledgeable or has experience in this area.
Thanks!
