My aunt has sleeping issues. I believe it's due to her high sugars. I go to pick up her meds. Her family doctor writes her a script for zolpidem and Dayvigo. She asked me to give her meds before bed. I noticed she asked me to give her both Dayvigo and Zolpidem. Knowing what I know. I said, wait a min you're not supposed to take these two together. She said Well the Ambien is not working. I told her so then take the Dayvigo by itself ect.
I called her doctor yesterday and asked, did the doctor explain to her she is not supposed to take these together? She says, yes, she was told. I can't say he did, or he didn't but now I will do her meds in a pill container. That mix would have knocked me on my butt. Doctors are too old, too busy or don't give a damn. (Then refer out). That's why some take specialties as their practice. A doctor can not only care better for patients, but they learn and can focus better for each patient.
