Hey Kindergirl,
I'm not sure if we're supposed to post links on this site or not, but since it has a Post Icon of a link to use in a reply, I guess that means it's acceptable. Hope I don't get my hand slapped.
You said you didn't know anything about medications. Here is a very easy site to use to read up on almost any med you might be interested in trying.
http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/hp.asp
Just type the name of the med in the search box, and it will come up with some matches. Make sure you pick the correct match! Lol. Then it will take you to a page description page. If you look to the left, you will see that you can look at other information regarding that med: medications & dosage, side affects and drug interactions, warnings and precautions, overdosage contraindications, and patient information.
It's a good site to get a feel for the med. Good luck.
God bless,
Sandy
