I wish I could just have an MD who is my prescription doc- Pdoc.
My new Pdoc wants me off Temazepam. He wrote trazadone. It didn't work last time a different p wrote it.
Doesn't matter. Had an ekg and regular md said there's an a normally that I could have been born with- don't know.
Anyway-had to review all meds and the trazadone could cause a heart attack he said.
Can you believe it? Before I was just blindly taking anything Pdoc said.
Had more tests. High in triglycerides. Pre diabetic. Boo hoo. I was neither before suffering a medication ( Effexor and seraquel) related weight gain.
One thing though, I'm going to keep looking for new Pdoc.
This new one ( been twice, is condensing and weird).
Trying vraylar. Had to go down in dose. 3 mg making me feel irritated and edgey.
Anyway--- be careful your meds are ok with regular MD.

BP diag 2017 and feel like the world of its meds is nothing short of a minefield. I too wish it could be one doc for everything.
I hope yours all get sorted soon.

My regular doc and old pdoc worked together and that helped. Don't know with this pnurse though.

Hope you find a pdoc that will work with you.

I just make sure all of my blood tests are given to me regularly. My pdoc is on top of the zyprexa and the lithium and my GP takes care of everything else including my diabetes.

Ocean Swimmer, So glad you've had an EKG!

It's very important. Some pdocs don't inquire about heart issues prior to prescribing, which I feel is very remiss. It's wise for people to have EKGs incase there is a problem which conflicts with certain meds.

Thanks for reminding everyone to be safe with health and meds.
