DO NOT take any medications without counsel at the drug store (they ask you when

you are in that long line) but you need to do so if you

are not reading your medical inserts and get used to asking, What drug

interactions does this medication have because there are many that

do but this has been well publisized with the lawsuits.

I am not trying to be negative but Lyndi told me about Compazine and I had been

taking Reglan also and then I read the inserts and it is true for

the tarditive dyskanisia. This is a permanent condition and irreversable so if

there is something else to take, find it and I do now.

Please read your inserts, the FDA websites for recalls and problems, and ask

your doctor when he is prescribing your medications. Especially if they

interact with what you are taking already and there are any problems with the

medications. There are other options for Levaquin although it is a good

antibiotic and a dose pack, it has a warning.

Lyrica had so many complaints when it first came out, their company had to

change the warnings on their medical inserts to include blurred vision and

excessive weight gain. Opana states that nausea is a problem etc. So check out

your medications by keeping the inserts on them in a zip lock bag with your

medications so if you ever go for a procedure, you have them or just to review.

The more you are pro active in your health, the more you can find out what is

effective and not. The main thing is, if you take one pill and you have a this

response, don't take any more and call your doctor immediately. It does no

good to say it afterwards. Bennie.
