I'm similar to Cherie. Only take one new drug at a time. I've had so many rare and weird reactions in my life, the docs all agree only one new player at a time.

Before I take any drug, I research the patient info for listed side effects. I've never had anyone tell me all the potential side effects to stuff, so have learned to be my own best knowledge keeper. Generally stuff like dizzyness I know I should wait a week or two to see if it goes down once my bod is used to it. I check for any drug interreactions. I've had only a couple of experiences where docs and/or pharmacy missed something.

But doing the one new drug at a time does help when things start going wacky. It's easier to stop the med and find out if it was that one causing stuff.

Hope things get better soon!
