Side effects from medication
I'm not recommending stopping any of your meds @cdpm but if you make that choice, and stop these 2 medications at the same time, and feel better or worse, how will you know which medication has made the difference?
You are right. I didn't even think of that.

Feeling that it's useless to post anywhere about anything. There's no medical help and no in person support group where I live.
It's a bad disease.

But I did think about what you said. And I think the cholesterol one shud go first as it's the 4th one tried with me having the same side effects with no change in the lab numbers even after Long enuf to try it.

Mods would like to remind members though you can share your experiences etc you cannot give advice to other members on altering meds etc. anyone considering altering their dose or stopping their medication are strongly advised to contact their HCP before doing so.
