Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 ... I can't sleep either. I get up at 6:30-7:00am, and I go to bed around 2:00-3:00am. I have fired more doctors out of my care than I care of speak of until I got the right ones, and I am still searching for Dr. Right in the form of a neurosurgeon. I too do not nap ever...don't know why, I just can't. I don't know much about herbal medicine, but I do know that you must watch what you are taking in conjunction with your other meds.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Another thing to be aware of when you are put on mass quantites of drugs is that you should always go to the same pharmacy. Keep in mind, I take 5 RX meds a day, to me that is mass quantity, as I would prefer none. I can count numerous times when I got the pharmacy to fill an RX and my doc had to be called to change the script due to drug interaction. Once it would have been lethal. In retrospect, with my meds, I am only allowed to take one antibiotic ~ leviquin. So, always check with your pharmacist first. They can be a wealth of information, and...they are much cheaper than your doc with no waiting room! Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Missy. I am on a large amount of medications. I say a different doctor yesterday who was standing in for my own doctor. She prescribed meds for my sinus infection. On one of them my pharmacist had to call her because if I had taken it in combination with one of mine, I would be in trouble with my heart. You can be sure that it is safe to go to a pharmacy that is knows you and your drugs. I even have to check with them before taking over the counter drugs as so many of the can interact with your own meds.
