[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1321363, member: 44622"] It takes a while to realise that you don't have to suffer intolerable adverse side effects just because a HCP prescribed them. If you feel worse for taking them then they are not improving your quality of life and they are not achieving their object. In my case I used to stop taking the suspect pill and if things improved I would notify DN that I had stopped taking them. She would either accept that or find an alternative. I have lost count of the number of times I have been through this procedure on a variety of pills. At out last meeting she identified a pill for which I had not reported a side effect (Ramipril). I was quite ill on statins at the time and stopped all pills as a matter of urgency. She now wants me to take the Ramipril again. She does not give up easily. [/QUOTE]
