Taking an over-the-counter stuff is VERY husband had a young lady at his work who combined an OTC headache med w/prescribed migraine med & DIED at 30 yrs. old. Do not try supplements or any other meds without talking to your provider. And, as an aside if you need any surgery (or in my case colonoscopy--sorry--hope you are not about to eat dinner) but meds are so complicated & individual to you. It ended up I had a change in my meds for bipolar1 & the doc who did my colonoscopy didn't think it was a big deal, but, apparently it was, in that the anesthetic didn't work & he had to cut out polyps!!!! I'm screaming; nurses restraining me; doc not understanding about psych meds...

Father had colon cancer at 50 so I am supposed to be tested more often--but I am definitely going to figure out meds so I can have the advantage of the anesthetic working...

The doc was saying I would have to be off my bipolar meds at least 3 weeks (which doc said was impossible) so that is why the anesthetic didn't work & couldn't be adjusted to help me. My only comment (as he is an excellent doc for colon cancer) was if I needed a by-pass operation (as my father had at 50) they would just say, "Hey, it's going to hurt! As we can't figure out to have the anesthetic work for you while on meds for bipolar; I don't think so!!)
