grammato STOP doing research on your medication all the time, it does not help you. If your Dr put you on them & you wish to find out more ask your Dr. beside just by taking a few pills for a short time is not going to cause any problems
we all take med of some sort and yes lots of med are not always good but with out trying them first you won't know. but first ask your Dr he should be able to help you there but Stop doing research all the time

@razorsharp actually, taking lorazepam for just a month has caused me all kinds of problems; I wish my doctor would’ve explained more about benzos before he put me on the course of treatment. Now I’m tapering off for two weeks. But while taking it, it caused more anxiety, even though it’s supposed to calm me down and it didn’t help me sleep all the time either, plus left me pretty groggy and lethargic much of the day. So it does help to do a little research and then you can ask intelligent questions of your PCP.
@razorsharp totally disagree. As a patient you need to be your own best advocate. Doing research using reputable sources (like Mayo or Cleveland clinic) is invaluable. Doctors and pharmacists are not experts on everything.

Nonsense. You should know as much about your meds as possible.I keep track of my meds and run a full check on interactions any time I start a new one. I have picked up some interactions that were serious. Upon reporting reporting them to my doc, she has been grateful.
