In reply to SCARED !!! Need advice on safety of drug regimen., posted by Festus on August 28, 2003, at 21:54:58
If both of your docs know about all of the drugs you are taking, you should be OK. It is also helpful if you get all of your Rx filled at the same pharmacy. They can also spot if something is wrong or put your mind at ease. Finally, know what side effects to watch for and listen to your body. Then RELAX.
If you want to do some research of your own, go to one of the big chain bookstores, e.g., Barnes and Noble or Borders. You can browse through the latest version of the PDR or Merck Manual for Nurses. The website www.medscape.com has a lot of information. In addition, you can sign up for weekly newsletters targeted to psychiatry (and any other part of the body too). Its all free.
