Nightmare to try to do so, have tried it. Yes I am that 2-5% who react badly to most of the newer drugs.
And I can’t get my doctors to stop prescribing the stupid things. So I just send them back to the pharmacist marked ALLERGIC, and cancel prescription! And add to my VERY long list of drug reactions.
Last one was Zetia...it was written off a cholesterol report taken during a Vertigo and Meniere’s attack when food and water tasted like cardboard....It hits all 4 of my auto immunes for just it’s common side effects. I don’t like spending hours hugging the toilet puking my guts up because of 1 pill or having my pain level go from 3 to puke level in less than an hour. And yes I can react that fast to some of them. Others takes weeks.
They are all supposed to be ‘flagged’ in my pharmacist computer, some how it never works. Good thing I pick up our meds, and not my husband, because he’d bring the dang things home, where I won’t.
I have found that if I speak up quickly, I can get the MD to prescribe a different drug. If you know what does work, that helps the MD to make better prescription decisions. I had to go to the emergency room last year; I told every single person that saw me that I did NOT want narcotics, and no one tried to give me any.
