Anything I should be careful of ( interactions, etc ) if I am using Nubain?
I take 2 mg in the am, and about 1 mg every 4 hours throughout the day.
Thank you.
Oh, I am also on beta-blockers, xanax, and anabolics.
Thanks again.
Mike

Dear Mike,
I certainly hope that you're receiving all those meds from physicians who know about all the medications which you are taking. If you are using prescription medications which you do not obtain in a legitimate fashion, then you are asking for all sorts of trouble. As a general rule, I think that polypharmacy is a bad idea. The combination of a tranquilizer, a pain-killer and anabolic steroids sounds quite complicated and potentially problematic. Your questions is the kind of question which is best answered by the doctor or doctors who are prescribing these medications. Any time a physician prescribes a medication it is important for you to be up front about every prescription and non-prescription drug you are taking. To proceed otherwise is an invitation for disaster.
