yes ring. do the new tabs affect blood pressure at all?

Fimbo · 25/04/2005 21:59

Get some help now. Ring your local out of hours Doctor service, possibly quicker than NHS direct.

swiperfox · 25/04/2005 21:59

yes ring them essbee. Make sure you've got the box of ad's in front of you so you can tell them exactly what they are/dose etc.

You'll be ok

two a day and they make me very sleepy to the point of dropping off but not blacking out??
are you taking anything else with them that might not agree???

WigWamBam · 25/04/2005 22:02

Ring your out of hours GP service, you'll speak to someone quicker than with NHS Direct.

Evesmama · 25/04/2005 22:04

about lustral
gotta go but found this for you as through my box and ingredients out!

hope your ok essbee??xx

Flossam · 25/04/2005 22:04

Can cause dizzyness. Also what were you taking before? Have you been taking them as prescribed? Please do phone GP though. This should be looked into.

anorak · 25/04/2005 22:05

Sorry essbee, I didn't think of nhs direct when we were talking on the phone, it's a good idea.

Hope you get it sorted, then please try and get some sleep. I am off to bed, lots of love, speak tomorrow. xxx

I have Lustral at the moment, only taken 1 and have stopped already. They are horrible, I think I had them once before and had severe shakes etc. The one and only pill I took the other week left me physically ill, I would rather go without.

I think you should have a word with your doctor as soon as possible and see what they can do.

You take care xxxxxxx

melsy · 25/04/2005 22:09

Let us know what nhs direct say. Sorry your having nasty time with pills.

Have you tried the GP out-of-hours service as well? Sometimes the docs will come out in these circumstances especially if you explain you have no-one to hand.
