I think I am able to tolerate some side effects if they are not really severe to my physical health. I have been on some that aggrivate my neurological condition casuing increased pain.

It is difficult for me to know which med is causing a side effect and which ones have effected me pemenantly over the years. The largest no pun intended side effect from dozens of meds over the last decade is the weight gain. I am double my body weight from beginning meds 10 years ago only have hypothyroid which does add to the weight problem.

Being on 21 prescriptions for both mental and physical I get confused what is giving me what side effects. Dry Mouth is a problem for me, I honestly do not think my saliva glands produce saliva anymore as if I dont always have a beverage handy my mouth gets so dry my lips stick to my teeth and I slurr my words it is one of alot of the meds side effects.

Sorry so long am a bit manic tonight.
