I have been reading a lot of posts by people that say they have stopped taking medications, or taking old medication with new medication, etc.
I feel like i should let you all know how much of a really bad idea that is...
I had a patient bring me in all of her meds the other day, she had new and old all mixed together and had got mixed up and was taking all of them - the issue was that two of her medications (a newly prescribed medication which she was meant to take - and an old medication which she was meant to cease) were highly contradicted by each other and she is very very lucky she didn't die...
When taking medications it really is this important that you follow your doctors advice... Please don't self medicate, don't change your doses, don't wean yourself off or stop any medications unless advised by a physician...
