Since the pharmacy made the error and my son was overdosed and hospitalized as an infant... I question the doctor & the pharmacist. However, we of course changed pharmacies and the pharmacist at Target knows about it and she always explains EVERYTHING to me in great detail for all 3 of us b/c she knows I freak out.
Now, I had already been on my klonopin & zoloft and was well addicted to hydrocodone at the time...so those weren't discussed....(I knew I about the hydro though just not the klonopin)
So to answer the question...um Yes, I do. LOL
I've found not enough info is listed on the internet med sites or on the little pamplets that come with the meds. Some times you just need to talk to a few people that have taken the med. Like this Cymbalta, I knew you had to wean off it, but I really didn't realize how sick it could make you if you dropped down to low to fast.
I'll be researching all future meds with people that have used it.
I'm with Sara. I never did before my addiction, but for some reason now.......I trust no one ! Good thing I do, as my Sub doctor has prescribed some really heavy stuff for me. I know she's just trying to help me get some sleep. A couple of times I've had to take off work because of the meds didn't wear off in time. There was no way I could take this stuff on a daily basis like she prescribed. I'd be a walking zombie.
I never did before i was clean. Now if i need to go to the doctor i will. sara
I always look my meds up I want to know what I am getting my self into LOL
I always read what comes with the script but all that does is get me paranoid and looking for the side effects lol
I have gotten to where I either check it one my computer at work, or go home and look it up before I get it filled. If it is something I think might cause me a problem or jeopardize my sobriety, I don't get it filled. I trust the pharmacists more than the doctors, but then the pharmacy just wants to fill your script to get their money.
I always research and then ask the pharmacist about intereactions.
I did and then I got so worried about taking it Prednisone has some bad side effects but I only have 6 weeks left thank god for that
Next time I will not research I will just take what comes
I always do. I think a lot of people come on here asking is because they want justification or reassurance for taking things.....i dunno?......did that make sense?
Probably Not.
Nauty.............dang i am quick.....lol
