Meds Tool

Check My Meds lets you select and enter the meds you're on to check for not only drug interactions between the different drugs, but also drug/food interactions. If you use caffeine or alcohol, try entering those as well.

that was extremely helpful - thanks for posting it!

Glad to have helped.

I put the stuff they use in the plasma process in as well as all the rest, and that could concievably have interactions with decongestants, which is good to know.

I'm glad you mentioned checking the antihistamines. I didn't think of it, and it was the only thing that returned a major interaction. Antihistamines plus my Topomax "may potentiate the risk of oligohidrosis and hyperthermia associated occasionally with the use of topiramate". In other words, I have to be careful to maintain hydration and watch for overheating if I take an antihistamine. Thankfully, I haven't been needing any lately, but I'll remember that from now on.

Yikes, that could be bad in the summer. It looks like I have to avoid grapefruit and watch the tyramine. No telepathy for me!

Oddly enough, considering that I usually get your references, I don't understand that one. No telepathy?

Ethan of Athos; Terrance Cee had to have tyramine to activate his telepathy.

Ohhhh, rightrightright. My least-favourite of all of her books, and least re-read. I think I've only read that one two, *maybe* three times.
