What are the effects of the morning after pill to a fetus if it doesnt work?

knufflebunny asked:


A friend of mine (how cliche) just found out she is pregnant through a HPT. She says she was always “careful” but became frightened after a condom broke. She immediately went and took the morning after pill. But then a couple weeks later she took a HPT and positve!! She is very sad and distrought about this decision but my main concern is the physical and developmental repercussions that this could have on an embryo. Does anyone know about this, or about websites that inform about this. She is going to talk with her boyfriend about the decision they are going to make but I am concerned she might be carrying a deformed baby…I dont know, i tend to look at things scientifically then emotinally, forgive me.

Why is Cyclobenzaprine classed as a tricyclic antidepressant if it isn’t (ever?) prescribed for depression?

Kynysca asked:


From what I understand, it is typically indicated for pain, occassionally as a sleep aid. Also, that it isn’t even used for more than a couple weeks at a time. It is structurally similar to amitriptyline and imipramine, but never (from what I can see) prescribed for mood disorders. Why not? Perhaps I am missing something?
Thanx, Troy. Makes sense. I haven’t read anything reliable.

Wikipedia, at least, lists it as a tricyclic antidepressant:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclobenzaprine

This research seems to list it as a TCA:

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1540431

I can’t find anything “official”….
Troy, I have read “effects” of Cyclobenzaprine are comparable to a benzo. Could this drug be used as an anxiolytic? Is it, ever prescribed for this purpose?
Thanx, again, Troy. To be honest, I read the first paragraph of that research.

And, yeah, wiki is “off” a lot of the time.

I appreciate the edit, man :-).
I guess what I kinda got hooked up on is how cyclobenzaprine could be so structually similar to other TCA’s (even, despite it’s disparate class), yet not work similarly…
