> I have examined your list of drugs that you are taking. I am unsure as to some things and if you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
> A. Are you aware that in the combination that you are taking, death could happen as a result of such?No, I was not aware of that. What combination could cause that? Should I stop taking my meds and find a new doctor then?
> B. Are you aware that addiction could also happen?
Is this just the Adderall? I know that can be addicting for some people but I've been on it for a number of years without a problem.
> C. Are you aware that there could be life-ruining conditions that could result from taking the combination?I didn't know that either. I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to meds and med combinations. What sort of life ruining conditions?
> D. Are you aware that a mind-alterd state could be induced to compel you to want to kill yourself or others as a result of taking the combination?
No, I didn't know.
> E. Did the person prescribing the drugs to you ever warn you of the above?
No, she never said anything of the sort. I had no idea either. I try not to research too much into my meds because I don't want to make myself think of every single side effect.
> F. Were you in any kind of mental condition when you were first given the drugs to make an informed decision as to taking the drugs or not?
Yes, I was able to make an informed decision.
> G. How much time did you spend, if any, reading the package inserts or researching the adverse effects that the combination of the drugs could have before you went ahead to take the drugs ?
I didn't read the package insert actually. I usually don't. I assumed my pharmacist would tell me if anything was amiss with my meds. The only thing he said was one of them could cause drowsiness.
