A real win!

A friend suggested I call a pharmacist about Ares's recent extreme aggression.

Apparently, one of the meds he was recently prescribed calms folks. Unless they have autism or ADHD, and then there's a chance it will cause aggression.

One of the meds that was recently upped has a 20% chance of increasing aggression.

I think we're finally getting somewhere.
Bingo. I read the side-effects of prescriptions because pharmacists at least typically don't warn about them even though they are trained to do that.

New a/c ducts are slightly more complicated to install than I thought. And what the a/c bloke thought. He's not happy.... oh well

I don't think any of our 'side effects' sheets said anything so detailed.

And I don't think anyone was so alarmed as the pharmacist when I said what was happening(including the ER staff).

I've found doctors in general don't know the side-effects and interactions of the drugs they prescribe.

A doc prescribed furosemide (Lasix) to me for blood pressure control. I had several side-effects severe enough to tell the doc who was somewhat dismissive and put in my chart that it was not effective not that I had side-effects.

In case you want to go down that path, check Drugs.com - Prescription Drug Information which I've found has the most complete list of side-effects and drug interactions. In my case I found a "bingo" when reading the professional page. "Patients allergic to sulfonamides may also be allergic to LASIX."

When I was struggling with heart rhythm problems, I remember the doctors being completely unconcerned about the side effects I was complaining about. I eventually just worked my way off the pills(and was then fine).

Glad you were able to identify your issue.

It's raining and I'm bored but not as bored as I will be in a few hours when we go to the neighbours where we'll sit and whinge about any of the other neighbours who aren't there.

Where's @Dan From Smithville when I need him. I want to poke sticks at him and make him squeal like a rabbit... that always cheers me up.

I'm knee deep in an ambitious "to do" list.
