Day of may causes

You know the sheets of paper you get when you get a prescription filled? Probably that stuff you never read. Especially if you don't get scripts that often or you always get the same thing. Well, you should. you should read every letter. You should ask questions & you should get to know your pharmacist. Just like an old time small town drug store. Know whos giving you drugs. And more importantly KNOW what you're taking. What it may interact with. Especially if you get multiple scripts from different dr's. They may not know the consequences of the cocktail they just prescribed.

Also, have you noticed over the past few years how many class action suits are against drug companies for side effects that kill? You gotta look out for yourself.

And that brings me to the point. And the title of this entry. These are just a few of the things on those sheets of paper I have from my meds. Just stuff I can remember off the top of my head. SO,,,,,,,,,

Pay attention. Follow instructions. And,,,,,

Now, don't take this medicine with that medicine or in conjunction with any of these families of medicines.
Take medicines at the same time everyday. Don't skip a dose but if you do dont double dose just wait for the next dose to get back on track.
Contact Dr immediately if you experience any of these side effects or allergic reactions.
Except maybe the death thing. You're kinda fucked there.

OK I cheated a little. I used my memory & the 3 new drugs I got for reference. Over the past month I have been on, switched from or to over a dozen different meds.

And I gotta remember all this shit to look for. memory loss or not. agitation or not. Tiredness but sleepless or not.

You gotta pay attention.
