Hi Jen

please don't worry about complaining. we can still listen, even if we can't fix it. your pdoc doesn't want to script anything and i can appreciate that, but he is still involved because the meds the meds he has you on affect anything else that might be prescribed by any other doc, including the sleep specialists he is banking on.

Mari has a point in that the Nardil is probably the worst interaction as far as taking an OTC sleep aid concurrently, and you are running out of gas here. it may be worth it to call your pdoc and tell him that you are breaking down and the MAOI severely limits other medication you can take so you want to suspend it for a while.

you would not be asking him to script anything, only to advise if you can safely suspend the Nardil (he may want you to taper it), and if so how much time should you wait before it is reasonably safe to take diphenhydramine - for instance. (standard wait period is 14 days.)

and even if you don't do any of this, please feel free to complain to us!
