>'-'< replied: "Well getting a new box and new litter (or moving the box) will only make the problem worse. Remember, cats are creatures of habit, and when you disrupt their habit it can make them confused and annoyed. Also, even if you cleaned the spots where he had urinated (even if you can't smell it anymore) chances are he can, which will make him want to "re-mark" the spot. A cat's sense of smell is about fourteen times stronger than that of a human. So you also need to make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the area.
Here are a few suggestions to your litter box problems:
- Provide a box for each cat
- Change litter daily
- Provide constant access to a box
- Go back to previously used brand of litter and/or
- Discontinue new disinfectant
- Move box to where it was previously used
- Eliminate new or frightening noise near litter box
- Move food and water away from litter box
- If cat is only going in one spot, put the litter box at the exact location and gradually move it back to where you want it at the rate of one foot per day
- If there are several places, try putting dishes of cat food in those areas to discourage further elimination there
- Experiment with different textures of litter (cats prefer sandy litter)
- Use a covered litter box for cats that stand in box but eliminate outside of it
- Keep in mind that some cats are rather picky, and prefer to have two separate boxes (one to pee in and one to poop in)
Problems arise when your cat doesn't like or develops an aversion to the litter box that you have provided. Let's be fair here. There is absolutely no reason to expect every cat to like the same material, or even for one cat to prefer the same material over an entire life span. First lesson learned: You did not train your cat to use a litter box. At best, you offered the cat something recognizable as litter material. If your cat is having litter box problems then you will need to figure out how to make the litter box appealing to the cat. Here are a few options:
1) Pain or illness can cause a cat to stop using the litter box. Cats are very adept at hiding illness, so if your cat is having litter box problems then the first thing you need to do is take the cat to a vet for a medical exam.
2) If you aren't scooping the waste out of the litter every day then you need to start and start now.
3) Perfumes or other odors can drive your cat away from the litter box. Scented litters are unacceptable to many cats, and the leftover scent from a cleaning product could also be a problem. Get rid of the perfumes, and scrub those cleaners away before giving the box back to the cat. Remember that cats have an acute sense of smell.
4) Your cat may feel vulnerable when in the litter box. Is it in a noisy location (such as next to the washing machine)? Is it secure from little marauders like dogs and children, or even other cats? If the box is not semi-private, move it to a better location.
5) Remember those preferences that we talked about earlier. You may need to offer several different types of litter before finding the right one. Strange but true, some cats will not use the same box for urine and feces, in which case you'll have to provide two boxes. The type of box could also be a problem. If the box has a cover, try removing it.
6) Anxiety can lead to litter box lapses. Did some event scare your cat? This could be anything from a new couch to a new cat or even a new person in the house. If you suspect anxiety, confine the cat to a safe and secure place (maybe a bed room) until the anxiety has passed. Cats seem to hang on to their emotions, so the anxiety could last much longer than the actual event. No need to rush, leave that safe haven available to the cat for as long as possible.
7) If you have multiple cats, chances are you'll need multiple boxes, maybe even with different materials in them.
There is one more important distinction that you'll need to make. Is the cat refusing to use the litter box, or is the cat spraying? Spraying is a territorial behavior and has nothing to do with disliking the box. For more information on litter box problems or spraying, consult with a trained behaviorist.
Correcting the Problem
The key to solving elimination problems is to make the litter box more attractive, and the area where the cat is soiling instead, unattractive. Sometimes, just cleaning the litter box more frequently or changing its location will correct the problem. Other times, you may need to experiment with different combinations of location and kitty litter to find a solution. You may even want to offer your cat the choice of several different boxes, each with different kinds of litter, to see which he or she prefers. At the same time, you must break the cat's habit of soiling in the new location. Be sure to clean the soiled area thoroughly with a pet odor remover to get rid of any urine scent -- or your cat may be attracted back to the same spot. It's important to keep the cat away from the area. Try covering the spot with carpet runner, prickly side up, or use a device that delivers a harmless static shock or that produces a loud noise when the cat comes near, to help redirect kitty to his litter box. Adding a room deodorizer with a scent the cat finds offensive - such as a strong citrus or floral - can also keep the cat away from the area.
When to See the Vet
If your cat continues to eliminate outside of the litter box, a trip to the vet is in order to check for health problems. No behavior techniques will help a cat with a problem that requires the attention of a veterinarian.
Urinary tract infections are a common cause of litter box problems, which your pet's doctor can diagnose and treat. A urinalysis can also rule out diabetes. Other conditions that may affect elimination behavior include arthritis - which makes is painful to climb in and out of the box - and constipation.
Odor removing tips:
To remove the smell of urine from just about anything, first clean it with some sort of soap or kitchen cleaner. Then clean it with lemon juice. If you don’t like the smell of lemon juice follow it up with a little bit of vanilla extract. One of the most effective formulas I’ve found for removing ANY odor was from Popular Science Magazine. Mix 1 quart of Hydrogen Peroxide, with 1/4 cup of Baking Soda, and one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. Saturate the affected area, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and the smell is gone. This is non-toxic and safe for your animals and children, and those with allergies. This is especially helpful for removing skunk odor from your outdoor animals. As always, test a small portion of fabric for color fastness, before treating a large area.
What Won’t Work… There are many home remedies for treating pet stains and odors, and let me stress that most of them are not too bad as far as removing odors for humans’ noses. Vinegar, ammonia, baking soda, laundry detergents, lemon juice, fabric softeners, and commercial strength pet stain removers are all great for removing the odors that humans can smell. However; you will need more to remove the odor for your cat’s nose. An enzymatic cleaner is the best answer, but it is slow and may take more than one application. (Nature’s Miracle is one of them.) The Hydrogen Peroxide/Baking Soda combo is fast, but can alter the colors of some fabrics. In the end, you must decide which application is best for your situation.
Even if you clean a pet stain with soap and water certain micro-organisms remain behind and your pet can smell them. Enzymatic Cleaners are designed to completely eliminate the source of the odor by using enzymes to eat away the micro-organisms that cause the odor. The one drawback to these cleaners is that they are slow; it could take several weeks for them to completely eliminate an odor. Enzymantic Cleaners are available at most pet stores, organic/natural/health food stores, and even some hardware stores. You can also ask your vet for suppliers."
hudsongray replied: "Is it all peeing or is it spraying--these are two separate issues.
if it's a huge amount of pee, that soaks the box, that's a major sign to have him checked for a diabetic condition. If he's scent marking by spraying (that's done horizontally) then it's a completely different issue."
How long until all these drugs leave my body, any permanent damage? 1. Dexamphetamine 30mg
2. Xanax (alprazolam) 2mg
3. Prinivil (lisinopril) 20mg
4. Temaze (Temazepam) 30mg
5. Buspar (Buspirone Hydrochloride) 30mg
6. Zyban (Bupropion Hydrochloride) 300mg
I really can't be bothered explaining why I took all these drugs yesterday ... well I can.
I’m a male in my early twenties diagnosed with anxiety, depression and ADHD disorders. After subsequent failure to treat me with Zoloft earlier this year (didn’t like the diminished libido, erectile dysfunction and genital sensory impairment) my doctor wanted to try this concoction - err, not all six - just Dexamphetamine which I had already been on for five months or so, and the newly added Buspar and Zyban for the anxiety and depression disorders.
So I started them both at the same time, was on them for nine days in total - yesterday being the last. I began on Zyban 150mg and Buspar 15mg, I worked my way up as directed by 5mg every three days with the Buspar, but the Zyban I only put up to 300mg after seven days instead of the three days I was told. This is because of the immense anxiety it seemed to produce ... but I remained optimistic ... until yesterday.
I had just polished off my last of the three daily dosing schedules which was 10mg of Dexamphetamine, 10mg of Buspar, and the second 150mg of Zyban. All four hours apart from about 7am, the Zyban is of course not included in the midday dose. About three hours pass and then ...
Lying on my bed, I notice my heart beating hard, hard enough to notice my body moving back on forth on the bed. It wasn’t a rapid heart rate to begin with, just hard, and I had noticed this the day before too, probably since moving up to 300mg of Zyban. Then I took my blood pressure, about 100/170, not critical, but higher than my usual 83/133 or so. I would say based on the way I was feeling a little bit later, my blood pressure may have reached 120/200 - but I was in no condition to take my blood pressure then.
I began shaking excessively, became very anxious, very nervous, and naturally very worried about my wellbeing. I walked outside, became lightheaded for a few moments, I recall my arm felt warm for a bit and pressure was mounting on my head. The most concerning symptom was the feeling of my heart thudding very hard up and down in my chest, putting my hand to chest I felt the thuds on the surface and then looking at my hands, they were shaking uncontrollably. I decided I wouldn’t call the ambulance or go to the hospital and figured they wouldn’t do much different than what I can do with the medicines available to me in the house.
The first thing I did was go to my own cupboard and grabbed my bottle of Xanax (use as needed) for my tremendous anxiety and crunched up a 2mg bar in my mouth before washing it down with water (tastes horrible, unlike Temaze and Prinivil). I waited for what felt like 20 minutes with no change (long enough in my condition) and thought I’d better take care of my blood pressure and crunched up one of my fathers Prinivil tablets from the kitchen cupboard and took that down with water. My hands were still shaking tremendously and had to rip open the packet, I also noticed a popping sensation in my left ear and an acute onset of tinnitus.
Then I thought I’d better address my risk of seizures and grabbed my bottle of Temaze (use as needed) from my cupboard and swished three tablets in my mouth with water and bit them up a bit before taking them down. I then tried to sit in a chair and calm down - it took perhaps another forty minutes before noticing that I’m getting better, that is my heart didn’t feel like it was going to thud out of my body anymore, then I went to my bed and lied down.
I took my blood pressure not long thereafter and it was ok, about 90/100. I was ok for the following few hours, the only thing that didn’t go away was rapid heart rate, taking it manually (blood pressure unit is also a manual) by finger for ten seconds, it came in at about 120-130bpm, I imagine it must’ve been about 200bpm at its worst.
I then had a desire for fatty foods, so went to the store and bought some cheese cake, frozen lasagna and coke. Cooked it up, ate it, and thought that I was better off just going to sleep before my desire to eat kicked in and wasn’t all that confident I would wake up in the morning (given my life’s problems I didn’t think it was ALL that bad).
Well today, being alive, I obviously took nothing, my blood pressure this morning was good at about 80/130, but I still have tinnitus. I also recently noticed a pain in the right side of my stomach area ... looking at a diagram, I’d say it’s the small intestine or something in that area, got any idea what it is?
Also have another two questions;
How long till all this crap leaves my bloodstream completely so I can comfortably go back on my Dexamphetamine? How long until my tinnitus goes away, it’s not permanent is it? It’s not likely any permanent damage has been done, right?

hirebookkeeper replied: "Ask your doctor for sample meds.
Go on the internet and search for insurance. You most likely will not get insurance on your own that covers meds."
Don replied: "Unfortunately I doubt you will find any insurance company that will cover your pre-existing conditions. You will have to get a job with a company that has group health coverage to get those covered."
AdamSteffens.com replied: "Go to the state and ask about health insurance programs. They will guide you in the right direction."
mbrcatz17 replied: "Well, that could be a problem. If you didn't already have issues, I'd say, go to a local, independent agent and get some quotes for health coverage. BUT, you have issues, so they're pretty much all going to decline to give you a policy.
You can still try a local agent, but they're not going to cover the preexisting conditions."
SadToday22 replied: "There are programs out there but they will cost you a lot to cover your meds, and it might actually be cheaper to just pay them yourself! Did you know that all pharm companies have programs in place for the uninsured? I think prozac is made by Pizer (I could be wrong!) but anyway, contact Pizer and get on their program and you could get your meds for free! It just takes some initive and calling around! Good luck, I've been in your shoes before!"
Suzanne replied: "Your first question for your parent's insurer should be whether or not you qualify for COBRA coverage. Under COBRA, a dependent losing coverage due to loss of dependent status, such as in your case, qualifies for 18 months of coverage after the "qualifying event" (i.e. loss of dependent status).
If you don't qualify for COBRA because your parent's employer is too small to offer it, you should contact your state's insurance commissioner's office to see if there's a state version of COBRA that will extend your coverage.
If your parents have a policy they purchased on their own, or if your state doesn't have continuation laws for small employers, then you'll have to purchase your own policy.
In that case, call your state insurance commissioner's office and ask about your HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability) options. If you have enough "creditable coverage" under your current plan, you can purchase a plan that has no pre-existing condition exclusions; or you may be able to join the state's "high risk pool." Your options depend largely upon your state's laws.

No orgasm, antidepressents, going to try vitamins; any advice on how to increase the chance of an orgasm? Ok, here are the details.
I'm on the following medications:
cymbalta, effexor, lamictal, trazadone, buspar, klonopin
I've noticed that since the cymbalta was increased, I haven't been able to have an orgasm. Now, when I was only on wellbutrin; I could have them all the time; sometimes 3 right after the other.
But I've never been able to have an orgasm during sex or oral-sex. Only with the use of a vibrator or shower. Now, even the vibrator won't work and I'm afraid I'm desensitized.
I'm just wondering if anyone found a good way to increase the chances even with someone taking antidepressants. I'd like to have one even with oral sex, so that I can stop "faking it", which I know is a big "no-no". Although to get an orgasm before, with the vibrator, it had to be at the highest setting, so I can see why oral sex wouldn't do it.
Today I bought Virmax Ds for women, a multivitamin with extra B, a vitamin combination for people taking effexor, and an vitamin E oil/cream.
Any suggestions?
Tiare replied: "from the looks of your avatar, you probably have connections in the medical field. you can discuss adding in a little wellbutrin to the mix"
nat replied: "SSRIs are famous for that.
ask your doc if you can switch to something like wellbutrin, that has low sexual side effects."
I freaked out. Did I have good reason? Am I "psychotic" (LONG DETAILS)? I just went through a brutal ending of a relationship. I was with the woman for almost two years. We shared almost everything together. Our interests were the same until she started working at a restaurant. This place is full of drunks and druggies. I'm a professional and I I'm not a huge party person. She left this last time. I broke.
To give background before I get to the climatic end, I'll go into detail.
First, I'm bi-polar. I've been diagnosed I take a slew of medications to try to keep me level. Seroquel, Buspar, Abmbien, Ritalin.
My now ex was perfect at first. For almost a year we shared everything and never fought or spat. We had disagreements but they always turned out a compromise. Nothing ever went wrong, life was good. She decided to change jobs about 11 months into the relationship. I had no problem with that.
I started to have a problem after the first 5 nights of her being gone and blackout drunk. These nights were long. I loved her, I was worried about her making it home safe. After a few months of this she left. She slept with her ex. I was forgiving and said "Okay, we all make mistakes." I took her back with little caution.
The drinking continued and I tried to become part of some of it. I was uncomfortable and on edge when I went with her. The people were grubby and failing at life. I couldn't deal with talking to people who were into nothing but drinking and drugs. They live the life of an addict.
These things continued and I kept telling her it was bad. A few times she would show up and be very mean. Saying hateful things but only because she was drunk.
Then she left again. I was invited to go over, we had planned a trip so I was to go to her sisters apartment and we would leave from there. Her sister was not home, but she was there with two other men. I overheard "No, I'm not like that. I'm not sleeping with you when your with him." It didnt matter, she slept with someone else, again. I didn't know this so of course I took her back. This time with caution.
The drinking continued and ended up ruining a trip we had planned. She called me blackout drunk and asked for a ride. I said okay and went on my way. When I arrived to find her car she had started it and planned to drive. I knew this was bad, she was hammered. I said no and fought with her a little. I tried to take the keys, pick her up and put her in my car, and talk sense to her. They all failed. Since we were both parked in front of the bars someone started yelling. "Do I need to call the cops?" I stopped my attempt to help. I wasn't going to gain anything by being questioned all night.
She got an OUI. Wrecked her car. Ruined our plans.
I bailed her out and brought her home.
Things went okay for about 4 months. She had no ID to drink and had no way to get around without me. These were good times. We had fun, lots of fun. Things between us got very serious.
About 2 months ago I had to go on a 6 week work binge. I was out doing a network migration, I wouldn't be home for at least a week at a time. A day into the migration she was able to drive again.
This is when things started to go wrong, in a hurry.
We had bought her a new Jetta the day after she wrecked her car. I said I wanted her to bounce back and show everyone that her experience had changed her. So she had a car.
Each week I drove 8 hours to come home and see her for a night. Some of them I didnt see her, she was drinking and didn't come home.
The last week of the migration we had an emergency and I came home a day early. She dedicated to tell me she was breaking up with me, again.
I took it a little hard. It was funny that she got her license back and then when I was to return she was leaving.
For the last two weeks I've tried nothing but to be supportive and wait for her to come home and patch things up. It never happened. She was drunk the whole time.
I sent her a number of messages asking when she was coming home.
The only thing I've ever asked from her is to tell me she is safe. I provided her with a cell phone so she could do this. She did this 3 times. There were countless nights where she didn't come home or let me know she was safe.
The last time she did it my night was terrible. Her cat was growling at everything outside and her phone called me from her purse 17 times. I had no sleep.
When I woke up I called work and took a day off. I was furious because of the disrespect she showed me the night before. All night I stewed about what had happened.
When she showed up in the morning there was no "Sorry I didnt let you know." Just a "Why do you always try to check up on me." I don't.. when she was drinking I sent her a message at about 12:30 am. Only to see where she was staying and who was driving. I don't think that's invasive.
I snapped.
I attacked her with everything I had bottled up. I unleashed a year of being upset all in a half hour. I told her to get out of my apartment. I said "You
I attacked her with everything I had bottled up. I unleashed a year of being upset all in a half hour. I told her to get out of my apartment. I said "Your nothing more than a shell of a woman. You have no respect or care for anyone but the people who support your drinking habit."
She didnt come back for days. I tried my best to apologize, but nothing worked. Several text messages explaining that I had broken and didnt really know why I was so mad.
I had a dozen roses stashed around my apartment. Each on with a tag on it saying "I'm sorry." and "I made a big mistake".
Last night she showed up with two other men at my apartment, forgetting that I had given her the boot. I said "You two need to leave. She can stay."
They made no fuss and left.
She saw the roses and snapped them all in half, telling me I was never going to get back together with her.
I then pulled my sim card for the cell number I was letting her use. We talked for a while and seemed to have worked out everything. We ended up sleeping together.
This morning I thought things were worked out. We could start fresh, the drama was over. Guess not.
I wanted to be nice and get her phone working again. I popped the sim card in and turned on the phone to test it out. As soon as windows mobile was done starting up, "Can I bring you breakfast, the sex was great and I think we should do it again ;)" popped up.
I immediately marched back into the bedroom and asked about the message. She denied it all the way.
The woman has HSV. Herpes. I had accepted it. He ex had cheated on her and she was honest with me at the start. I was careful and took every precaution to not be infected.
I said 'Well the guy you slept with disagrees. By the way, did you tell him you have herpes?"
She said "No."
This could ruin the mans life. I promptly used her phone to text him back.
"Dude, this is her ex on her phone. If you slept with her she didnt tell you anything important?"
He replyed "No, why are you using her phone?"
I said "You need to go get checked out. She has herpes. Get checked in a few weeks. This could ruin your life."
She freaked out a bit. Said I had destroyed her life.
I finally calmed her down and tried to drive her to where she had been staying. She freaked again and got out when I hit a stop light.
I found her wandering the streets and gave her a ride.
When I got home I popped her old sim card into my phone so I could reset the voicemail and dispatch a mass text saying simply the number was no longer hers and to please contact her via email or in person.
I then brought all over her things to the place she was staying. I wanted nothing to do with her.
She called and said I was a psycho. I don't believe what I did was psychotic. I take all of my medications. I've never freaked like this in my life.
Did I go over the deep end without reason?
Are my medications not doing what they should?
Can I just disregard this and not worry about it being a worsening condition?
And yes. the drinking WAS that bad. Anyone getting trashed 5 or 6 nights a week has a problem. It's worse when they start insulting the person they live with.. only because they are drunk.

Sarah replied: "i think really if you love the girl as much as you say you do then you should let her go as if her drinking is as bad as you say then she might drag you down with her, my best friend had a drink problem, she stole from me to allow her to get drunk on a night, and then as always came back and did the same thing again, went through my purse and coats looking for money, if that failed she would take things she could sell, we were best friends for 8 years and i have not spooke to her for 3 years now as she was getting me down and like you i worryed about her, let her be, and you get on with your life."
sugar'n'spice replied: "o my gosh I feel so sad for you. :[ No u definitly weren't psychotic. SHE'S the one if anyone who's psychotic, not you. i can't believe she treated you like that. I wouldv'e freaked out too,..... probably even more. When something like that is bottled up for so long it's normal for it to just randomly explode like that. dont worry ur doing fine. ;]"
PosterChild replied: "ARE YOU KIDDING!? If she is sleeping around as much as you say she is, how can you be so sure she got herpes from her ex cheating? Perhaps she got it from her OWN behavior. She is clearly a drunk, and you are clearly a doormat. This is not going to get any better. Two people with so many issues between them are only going to succeed in making each other miserable. Leave. You are giving her permission to behave this way by taking her back and leaving roses, etc....
I'd look into having your meds REDUCED. You didn't say how old you are, but 4 or 5 meds for someone who isn't a senior citizen is an awful lot. Keep in mind that all psychiatric medication is designed to alter brain chemistry...its not always positive and for the best."
