Scared of the mixture

So I take 200 mg of Zoloft in the morning, 10 mg of lisinopril, 25 mg of monopoly, all in the morning, then at night, I take 300 mg of trazodone, 100 mg hydroxyzine, 50 mg of anitriptyln, and another 25 mg of metoprol, I've heard that this could cost serious problems, what might the problems be?

Sounds a lot but if you are worried you could book to see your Pharmacist? I've no idea, except the teenyist bit of meds and I'm poorly. I've ofen sat with my Pharmacist and chewed the fat. He's always very nice. And then at least when you have to go back to your GP you can say it was advised?

I tend not to take much because the meds make me worse and do nothing useful for me. There is no actual fibro fix. Meds? They are all poisons don't you know? And us Fibros so weedy and sensitive too! I've had to go back several times to the surgury to be monitered after a bad reaction. I take supplements now, which help a bit. We are all different though so don't take my experience as standard. Others take loads of meds with few worries.

Ooh! if you are popping off to see your phamacist or GP you could ask whether NICE have approved the Cannibis patch for Fibro pain yet? In testing it has proved very effective. Sounded relatively side effect free too. And then report back and tell us all what's what? Best wishes.

Maybe speak to your pharmacist about this cocktail you are on? He might be able to sort things into a better routine- If you were in hospital they would pot them all together on a drug round and give them to you! The pharmacy could advise your g.p on a better combination or timing them better.. In the past g.p,s used to send for us for a medication review that seems to have died off since they became so busy- at my practice 2 have gone part time and one retired, I hate seeing locums as they do not have time to read your notes fully and if they are always locums I often wonder how much knowledge they have!

Hi Kitten1229

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I have pasted for you below a link to our mother site, FMA UK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information:

fmauk.org/

As the others have said, if you are concerned at all about your medication please talk to somebody? Either your Pharmacist or ask at your doctors surgery fro a medication review.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
