Can I take pot and fluoxetine together?
Amy

Dear Amy

A single report from NHS describes the onset of mania in a person taking fluoxetine with cannabis.

However, fluoxetine on its own may have caused this. There are no other reports of this happening with fluoxetine and cannabis, and no problems have been described between cannabis and any other SSRI.

Both SSRIs and cannabis are very widely used, and there is little evidence that people who use cannabis should normally not take SSRIs.

What happens if I don't wear glasses when I should wear them?

Bill

Dear Bill

Whether you wear your glasses or not has little or no effect on how fast your vision gets worse or how bad it ultimately becomes.

Not wearing glasses is not going to damage your eyes but it deprives you from seeing clearly.

Your uncorrected vision will not get better or worse as a result of not wearing or wearing eyeglasses.
Eyeglasses only correct your vision when you wear them.

Your vision may get better or worse over time, but eyeglasses are not the reason.

If you got a pair of glasses you better put them on in order to relax your eyes a bit.

We suggest wearing your eyeglasses when you need to.

Pain for 5 days of constant evolution at the left side of the waist it started in back now radiates to front

Anne

Dear Anne,

Possible causes of acute back pain on the left side are:

• Facet joint problems.
• Sacroiliac joint problems.
• Degeneration of inter vertebral discs.
• Referred pain. Referred pain is pain that feels far from the site of the problem, such as a gallbladder problem that can cause pain in the upper back and a heart attack that can cause pain in the left arm.

Foods containing zeaxanthin

Christopher

Dear Christopher,

Collard greens are a good source of natural zeaxanthin, providing 5.1 mg of the substance per cup. The next best leafy green source, at 1.2 mg per serving, is kale. Other leafy greens that contain measurable amounts of zeaxanthin include turnip greens and spinach.

A serving of yellow corn delivers 0.9 mg of zeaxanthin, while a serving of orange peppers deliver 1.7 mg.

Two fruit sources of zeaxanthin are persimmons, with 0.8 mg per serving, and tangerines, with just 0.2 mg per serving. Dried goji berries also contain high amounts of zeaxanthin, with claims ranging from 37.5 mg. a cup to as high as 225 mg. per cup.
