If standing at work is not negotiable, it's probably best not to risk it tbh. In general effects of drugs are additive, so if you go on two medicines that cause drowiness (for example) the effect adds. Same for dizziness. Maybe wait until you feel like you're getting over the surgery (plenty of R&R, good diet, etc), then try them if you like. If it's for PCOS, is it the case that your current medication regime is not managing your symptoms?

Not what you're looking for?
