Guest guest Posted March 9, 2000 Report Share Posted March 9, 2000 Hi! I truly hope this helps. I forwarded the basic info. on meds. If it does not come through, My apologies. along with the web site for Mayo drug search. s Hopkins site also cares med. info. http://www/intelihealth.com click to drug search. It is formatted in two different ways. One is for patients and can not be forwarded, the other is meant for a quick reference for health care Prof.. and can be printed and forwarded. Hope this helps. A second tip for medication is the next time you have your meds. filled ask the pharmacist for the manufacture's info. sheet. This is not the little short note they give out. It is about 1 and 1/2 inches wide and can be several feet long. Get one every time you have a new medication. Read through it. Take Note under : contraindications, warnings, precautions, adverse reactions and drug interactions. And of course side effects. If you have questions as the pharmacist and or your doctor. Please do not assume that your doctor knows best. He is with you for 15 minutes. Doctors are not chemists. Most have very good intentions but they don't always understand what medications inter react with others, let alone a whole string of medications.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 I am also on meds for depression. I see my shrink once a month to talk about things and to readjust medications if needed. I do not sleep well at all. Nothing I take helps. He has doubled my meds at night but it does no good. I have such mood swings lately that I have been put on a medication to help with that. My depression is always there and I guess it will always be. I have what my doctor calls clinical depression. I also take a blood thinner to stop mini strokes and I just had laser on my eyes to stop glaucoma. Sometimes I just wonder what will be next. Take care, Irene > .

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 , I know exactly what you are saying. I am on meds for depression and meds for thyroid and meds for pain and meds to counteract the sickness I get from taking the meds from pain, and meds for muscle relaxation, so the walking pharmacy part I guess is just a part of Fibro. I know that there are websites that you can go to on the web where you can put in all of the medications that you are taking and they will tell you how they interact with each other. I will try to see if I can find that web address and send it to you. In the meantime, just know that you are not alone with this. I too get depressions that I have a hard time pulling myself out of and according to my church, it is just the devil trying to steal part of my day. I was told that God knew beforehand that I would get Fibro and that he already died to pay for my pain, but that doesn't make the pain any less real, nor does it help it to go away. I am praying for a healing and to be able to handle the pain drug free until such a healing can take place, and I know that God is helping me with this.....I just need to be patient......but that usually results in another depression so it ends up being one viscious circle. I'm sure you know what I mean. I will keep you in my prayers and thank you very much for putting me on your prayer lines. I will do the same for you. Fibro Huggs, Debbie G.
