Side-Effects

Just read the possible 'Side Effects' on the Leaflets with my Tablets. Swear to God, I'll never do it again. Frightened me to death!!

Oh I'm sorry Welshwoman, that's a big no, no!

In all the years I've taken medications, I have Never, googled it or read the enclosed

pamphlets. I have always felt that info was more for the protection of the drug company

in covering all bases. When your doctor prescribes a medication for you, it's with your health history in mind.

Take the medication w/o any self doubts from the pamphlet enclosed or negative thoughts from others who have taken the same med. In doing this, you will give yourself a chance for your doctor to find the right med and the right dose that will work just for you.

We live and learn. xx Good Luck dear.

Oh I'm sorry. Breathe You are safe. You are okay. It's passed and all behind you. xx

I agree with Agora that they are very scary and that you shouldn't read them. The problem is that, in my case, I just can't help reading and then get worried.

I never read them now because you can have psychsematic symptoms and that's scarier !

I always read the leaflet if given new medication to see if they are compatible with all my other medications ( I'm not allowed anything with codeine or morphine in them because of my medication), other than that I never look at the side effects, did it once and it scared me badly

That's what scared me last night. I'm on quite a lot of other Tablets as well apart from Anxiety and Depression and they are not compatible with those according to the Leaflets so I just don't know. Don't think I can face another trip to the Doctors, might ask the Chemist later though. He's excellent. It's been playing on my mind ever since I did it
