You want to make sure that your doctor knows what other medications you’re on. That’s part of the reason why I think that it’s important to have a prescriber to walk with you through this, where you can kind of go through the risks and benefits, not just the theoretical risks and benefits on the back of the package label, but what’s actually going on in your life, with your health, your medical challenges, your medications, and your lifestyle.
