Hi Sam, Lorie's advice about making an appointment with the pharmacist is great, but so is her observation that they are overwhelmed.
If you cannot get an appointment with your local pharmacist, some large clinical practices have a specialized pharmacist on staff or available by referral to do this as well. You may need a referral to get an appointment.
Make sure the appointment includes a personal interview, either in person or by phone, as there will be questions. Be prepared to be asked a lot of questions about diet and lifestyle as well, as these can affect how your body metabolizes medications and supplements.
It might take a little effort, but it is worthwhile if you are on a lot of medications, or if you feel some of your meds are making you feel worse.
