Some doctors do not always seem to have a complete understanding or knowledge of the pharmacology of what they prescribe, and/or they do not always share their knowledge. This appears the case with what has been mentioned about Stiolto. I really feel for you, and I hope your interlude with forgetting is over. You are right to be pro-active.

I hope all of you seek help from pharmacists and pharmacologists, and please don't assume that asking the doctor will automatically bring answers. Pharmacology (drug chemistry, interactions, side effects, etc.) is not the focus of their studies.

Although I am not on this medication, I have been prescribed medications with similar side effects, and my physician didn't seem to know how different the results with the med are if you are (1) over 65 and (2) taking the med for a long period of time.

Best regards,
