I take tramadol and Celebrex. Have for months. I am so overwhelmed by how many pills I take and how often my medicine changes. I see 7 different Drs/specialists on a regular basis. More when health matters dictate needed newcomers to the team. I say "team" loosely. My PCP and my psychiatrist who gives me my antidepressants are the ones who most carefully monitor my meds.
I walk into offices and spout off my symptoms of any recent concerns and they look at me like I am neurotic or a hypochondriac. This infuriates me. Because of one such experience, I had hallucinations during a sleep clinic session because the Dr gave me 4 TIMES the amount of ambian I am use to taking. His reason? He wanted to make sure I slept. I have since been told Drs usually dont prescribe ANY sleeping meds for this procedure. Duh.
I thank you for posting this. I too have read the literature in the packets the drugs come in, and have been told by my pharmicists about this concern but am told by my Drs that it probably wont happen. They say I need the meds.
Wow. Makes me feel SOO safe and on a good medical path...
not!
