First-light Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Please be careful what you take together. I just sent the last three days in the hospital because I mixed some meds up. I crashed Sunday night with low BP and HR. Throw out the old stuff and don't ever mix. Totally my fault and I could of really been in bad shape if it wasn't for the EMT and ER room personal.

Doc Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Also while on the subject of medicines, if you have pets or small children around, keep track of any dropped medication. Remember, one person's medication can be another's poison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabin Fever Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Also keep in mind that it's not just taking medications together. Sometimes meds alone cause side effects that you don't even associate with the meds. Been there, done that! I've become so anti-meds that doctors really have to convince me that I MUST take them. If its something that I can work on with diet, exercise, or supplements I'll try that first, and use meds as a last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-light Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 The three that gave me problem were a muscle relaxer, anti-inflammatory and my cholesterol med. Should not of mixed in the muscle relaxer I was told. I had them hanging around from a neck problem months ago. We moved a bunch of fire wood Saturday and my back was killing me. Next time I'll deal with the pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
