...another warning about antidepressant drugs last week. The same authorities, citing increased risk of suicide, advised last year against giving so-called SSRIs--except Prozac--to youths under 18. This time the counsel is aimed at adults. Doctors must now inform patients about withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety and nausea, associated with SSRIs and closely monitor patients--especially young adults--for suicidal behavior when they begin drug treatment or change dosages. Doctors were also cautioned not to prescribe the drugs for mild depression without first trying talk therapy or other interventions. Finally, regulators issued a special warning about another kind...

That acupuncture would relieve postsurgical nausea and vomiting was not entirely surprising to researchers at Duke University Medical Center. After all, they were stimulating P6, an acupuncture point near the wrist that is known to control nausea. It's the reason commercial anti-seasickness wristbands work. But the scientists were surprised that the ancient Chinese therapy, applied to the same point using a small electric pulse, also eased pain--perhaps by stimulating the release of endorphins...

But if the pancreas becomes blocked they can activate within the gland, triggering what Smith calls a type of "auto-digestion" that causes severe pain and sometimes fever, nausea and raised blood pressure. A key part of early treatment is to ensure the patient eats and drinks nothing - often for two or three days - to allow the pancreas to rest. Nutrition in this period is delivered intravenously...

...drunk and endure a hangover for the sake of science. Half the tipplers were given an extract of the prickly pear cactus plant before their binges; the other half were given a placebo. The following morning, people who took the cactus extract suffered significantly less from nausea, dry mouth and loss of appetite than those who got placebos. The latter group also had 40% higher blood levels of C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation, which may contribute to hangovers. Unfortunately, the remedy had no effect on other symptoms such as dizziness and headache...
