Colin & Roxy,

When meds make you feel strange, you are either on the wrong meds for you, your doseage is to high, your allergic to those meds, or your body just can't handle the meds.

Meds are not for everyone, as I said before it is a personal choice.

But I beleive that the choice should be made with accurate knowledge.

I have expeienced that when a med seems to not work at all that, sometimes, they need to be taken at a different time of day, taken all at once, or divided through out the day.

For example: One of my meds, I was told to take one 1st thing in the morning, then a 2nd one later on that day. With no reasults. The pharmacist told me to take both just before going to bed. Now that med works like it should.

2nd example: Another med that I was given, I was told to take 3 at bedtime. It did the opposite of what it was inteneded to do, then later on that day it did what it was to do. So I choose to take it earlier and earlier. Later on I was haveing my original problem again, so I talked to the pharmacist and was told to take one three times a day, one whas to be at bedtime. Now I have no complaints.

So your choice about meds is a personal choice, but accurate knowadge should be applied along with your values, beleifs and personal experiences.

There is no right or wrong for everybody. We are all differnt and need to act on those differences. But never igore the fact that there are alternatives to whatever choice we have made and if we (as individuals) we choose to try an alternative (that is not dangerous or illegal) it is are choice (as individuals).
