Why would my pharmacist tell me to take my Fosamax only when I am standing? This seems silly. A. Standing or sitting up after you take your medicine helps to keep the pill from getting stuck.

This seems to be important for Fosamax (alendronate), a new treatment for osteoporosis. Otherwise it might irritate the esophagus. Q. I saw you on the Oprah Winfrey show telling people not to have their prescriptions phoned in to the pharmacy. I didn't understand why.

It saves a lot of time. A. Many medicines have similar-sounding names (Zantac and Xanax, clonidine and quinidine). In a busy, noisy pharmacy mistakes can be made over the telephone. In their column, Joe and Teresa Graedon answer letters from readers.

One-third of overweight men and 41 percent of overweight women who were surveyed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they engaged in no physical activity during their leisure time in the previous month. In comparison, among non-overweight adults, 26 percent of men and 28 percent of women reported no leisure-time physical activity. Nearly 104,000 people were questioned by phone in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the 1994 survey, issued by the CDC on Thursday.

The non-overweight people who get away with no leisure-time exercise may be physically active at work, carefully control what they eat or be genetically predisposed to slimness, said Deb Galuska, a CDC epidemiologist. Household chores, child care and walking to work were not counted as leisure-time exercise in the study. The CDC recommends that every adult exercise moderately for 30 minutes a day. Walking counts as moderate exercise.

So far no one else has. I have been married over a year and use the pill as my form of birth control. When I need an antibiotic, I've been warned that such medicine can counteract the birth control pill. As a science major, I'm not satisfied just knowing that something I like to know "why." Can you explain exactly how oral contraceptives and antibiotics interact? And is it true that my husband and I should use backup contraception for a month after I stop the antibiotic, just to be sure? A. This interaction is both complicated and controversial.

Antibiotics such as penicillin and tetracycline can kill off a range of intestinal bacteria. Some experts believe that these "good germs" play a role in recycling the estrogens in birth control pills. Without the bacteria, blood levels of estrogen might drop and reduce the contraceptive protection. Recommendations about backup contraception vary. To be on the safe side, it is probably wise to use additional measures for the rest of the cycle in which you finish taking your antibiotic.

Q. I am a 15-year-old high school sophomore. I have been on Prozac for depression since the sixth grade. Before that I was on Tofranil, but it made my heart race. Recently I started having panic attacks and becoming shaky all over, especially my hands.

I tried lowering my dosage slowly, but then I suffer from severe mood swings and general depression. Can you tell me if Prozac could be responsible for the panic attacks? I've also been feeling sickly, with no energy. Just walking up a flight of stairs makes me pant and I feel my heart racing. I also am very tired. Sometimes I sleep 10 hours and still need a nap in the afternoon.

Please hurry, I want to know what's wrong with me. A. We are in no position to diagnose your symptoms and we think you should talk this over with your parents and see a physician promptly. Prozac (fluoxetine) has been reported to cause anxiety, nervousness and tremor. While some people feel energized on Prozac, others may experience fatigue and drowsiness.

You started on Prozac at a very early age and it may now be appropriate for a psychiatrist to reevaluate your medications. Please do not make any changes on your own..
