Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Are you sure you haven't been looking in my medicine cabinet? Between the prescription pills, otc pills, ointments, solutions and supplements, I could start my own pharmacy. I'm like you, I take a list with me to every doctor's appt., optometry appt., and dentist appt. because I can't keep them straight if I don't. I have more drugs in my cabinet than my parents combined, and they have their own health problems at age 67 and 69 (open heart surgery, back surgery, glaucoma, asthma). I am only 41!!! I can't imagine what its going to be like in another 20 years!!! I can hardly wait. LOL!!! Carol in Vancouver, Washington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 What a list. You might want to practice for Ron's pill counting Olympics scheduled in July. One question? Is your prednisone prescribed the way you take the doses. I was always told splitting prednisone in 2 doses or even taking it in the evening led to increased chances of osteoporosis. Talk with your main doctor and double check your dosing schedule please. --- web63 <web63@...> wrote: > Does anyone else take a list like the one below? > > Remicade - 2nd infusion was Monday April 22nd (still > no relief) > Methotrexate - .5 CC's - once a week (shot) > Leucovorin - 5 mg - 12 hours after Methotrexate shot > Folic Acid - 1 mg - 1 every morning > Prednisone - 5 mg - 2 every morning - 2 every > evening > Bextra - 10 mg - 1 every morning (newest > anti-inflammatory) > Azulfidine - 500 mg - 3 every morning > > Others: > Lipitor - 10 mg - 1 every morning (High Colesterol) > Cardizem - 120 mg - 1 every morning (High Blood > Pressure) > > All this, and I just turned 39. > What a bummer :-( > > > > > ===== In Peace, P.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 (From the CMTA) These drugs are toxic to the peripheral nervous system and can be harmful to the CMT patient. Adriamycin Amiodarone Cisplatin Diphenylhydantoin (Dilantin) Glutethimide (Doriden) Hydralazine (Apresoline) Megadose of vitamin A* Megadose of vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)* Nitrofurantoin (Furadantin, Macrodantin) Penicillin (large IV doses only) Taxol Lithium, Misomidazole and Zoloft can now be used with caution. Alcohol Chloramphenical Dapsone Disulfiram (Antabuse) Gold Isoniazid (INH) Megadose of vitamin D* Metronidazole (Flagyl) Nitrous Oxide (chronic repeated inhalation) Perhexiline (Pexid) Vincristine * A megadose is defined as ten or more times the recommended daily allowance. Drug Interaction Warning The November/December 1995 NAMI Advocate warned of a potentially fatal drug interaction. It involves selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and Luvox. Apparently, a drug interaction between these antidepressants and dextromethorphan and/or pseudoephedrine, found in over-the-counter cold remedies, can cause excessive serotonergic activity. Signs of this " serotonin syndrome " include changes in mental status, hypertension, restlessness, myoclonus (sudden muscle contraction), hyperreflexia (accentuated reflexes), diaphoresis (profuse perspiration), shivering and tremor.
