i agree. i wonder why none of my many drs didn't at least mention this cardiac effect to me. you'd think at least the prescribing pain dr should have known it was being investigated. and that the FDA had racheted up their investigation.
it had been going on in earnest for 2 yrs.

some of these drs even knew about my arrythmia.

that's why i try very hard to read up on my meds from the drug comp's handouts. you can't depend on drs to catch everything. i'm also the one who caught that my antidepressant was a drug that could interfere with the effectiveness of my tamoxifen. we got that switched. that scared me because for 18 mos this could have been happening and i don't want a recurrence of cancer.

thanks for your input.
