Back in 1975.....I wasn't on any meds other than birth control (dark ages birth control) & had just gotten married. Went to the dentist & I passed out when they gave me the numbing shot for filling the tooth......I came around then passed out again & they had to get the oxygen out. They felt that I had a serious problem with the birth control causing the reaction.....it was between that & I'm sure the weight loss that I was dealing with.....but when obgyn heard the reaction I had along with the other problems....it ended the BC immediately......

So there are strange interactions that can happen that we don't even think would be correlated.

LOL.....I remember having to have a root canal after being given valium.....I was stressed to I took quite a few. I should have been in la la land but it didn't even have an effect on me.....so I had a little chuckle when my pain specialist PA suggested that in going through the oral surgery to have all my teeth removed & get dentures they might offer me valium......wouldn't waste my money on getting that perscription....& I'm on enough pain medication even though it's lowered from what I had been on........will see but she was thinking that the surgery might trigger my migraines again & we just got the medication down to an acceptable level for them to do the surgery in the first place. Patches are a whole different form of medication which was the only kind of pain medication that ever worked for me......but it could have been a serious problem going under anesthesia on the dose that I had been on for 10 years without any problems....but then I never had any surgeries only serious weight loss.

All medication actions & interactions can end up being serious so it's important for them to know especially when something does happen....most don't have any idea about interactions in the first place & many MD's have no idea about side effects either until AFTER you end up having them.
