I went to an allergist the other day because I am now allergic to so many antibiotics that I can't take anything for my sinus infections (which I never used to get, either). The doc asked whether I was sensitive to other meds, and I couldn't really think of anything until: I had a full eye exam last September, and my pupils stayed dilated for 28 hours! He said, "Ah!"
Although I am not quite sure I understand what he said, here's what I think it was: Lots of meds, like those eye drops and sulfa antibiotics (which just recently gave me hives) are slow metabolizers in the liver anyway, so it's possible that a medication like Serzone (or other antidepressants) can have some kind of effect on those meds and make them last longer. Does that sound right? And does that sound like it might be true?
