Sorry you are not doing well Professor. Our doctor is rather good about checking my husband's meds before he prescribes something new. We always remind the other doctors he sees about his meds and ask them if they give him a new drug whether they will interact well with the other meds he is already on. Getting them all at one pharmacy is better too. They will check also that the meds can mix before filling something new. That is a double check on the doctor!! it can really be a bad thing when no one is checking!! We have to take control over it and question, question, question these doctors!! They are always in to big a hurry to get in and get out of each appointment!! S-L-O-W them down!!

God Bless you and I hope you feel better soon!! Mary

this is a great idea and I'm going to bug my pharmacist (if I can catch him without a long line )

You are quite right in what you say . Very important to keep on top of the side effects and mixing of drugs .. My husband has been taking Sinemet Plus along with Neuro patch for 5 years ... He had a bad reaction to Amlodopine and also Digoxin .

He is now taking Forusamide bisoprolol, and losarton and seems to be switching off and drooling more Not sure if it is the new meds making it worse or natural progression of Parkinsons . Trial and error .!!!.

Be happy for any feedback on this subject ..
