I don't know is because I'm getting old or my body is not as healthy as before, but for the last year, my medical condition has been getting worst. I'm only 37 years old. I have major arthritis, Hypertension, anxiety, ulcer and liver problem as well. I am currently taken Remicade, celebrex, tylenol 3, prozac, nexium, diovan and viread. I'm currently have some side effects taken most of the meRAB where I never had before. sometimes i have cold chills, hot flashes, vomiting, nausea, and sometimes I felt a my chest just heats up or chest discomfort.

for some reason, I keep thinking that one day I might just die form legal medicines rather than my medical problems. but I have no choice because I need the meRAB for my problems. can anyone tell me how much medicines is consider too much meRAB and how much meRAB are deadly? how are the deadly? just taken these meRAB scares me every times I take a pill.
 
Every time that you get a new prescription from your doctor - does he ask you to list all the medications you're currently taking? If so, then he probably goes and looks up (in a database) whether the medication he's going to give you is going to be harmful if taken along with the other meRAB. The actual process is a bit more complicated - but there IS a system in place (at least in Canada LOL) that goes through an algorithm to check whether you're going to over medicate yourself.

You can always call your local "tele-health-line" or visit a doctor to ask him if you're being over medicated. Or just visit a pharmacy nearby and a friendly pharmacist will tell you!



Are you sure they're side effects? Could just be that you have a disease/disorder... go to an online symptom-checker and check just in case.
