As a 30 year Nurse, the BEST ADVISE is to make the an appt with the Doctor (he has your medical records) that to put you on those medications, you need the TRUTH and the FACTS about these medications. You have remember, that all medications affect everyone differently, out body chemistry is different, it affects how the medications work. I can look up these meds and your condition, But, I do not have your medical history, I do not have experience with these medications. I would be giving you bad advise. Anyone who gives you advise, although they men well, they don't all the facts, like me. Please make an appt with the specific doctor to talk and in the mean time, google everything, make a list of questions, so you will have a better understanding and have questions for him. Mak an Appt with him, ASAP.
