Err, slightly awkward but what's the best thing to do in this situation?
When you take (a lot) of tablets, what do you do when you have vile diarrhea and they're not staying in your system long enough to be absorbed?
(Tmi):
I've had it for 36hrs ish and have been coping ok with it though ruddy annoying, but I took my usual medicines as normal at 8pm, and I saw them again 2 hrs later in the toilet bowl. Took me ages to work out what they were, these strangely symmetrical round things in the pan! How grim!
Anyway, now I'm a bit stuck, as I don't want to be dealing with the massive withdrawals and other effects from stopping medicines suddenly, but don't want to take them again as they might just go the same swift way as the last lot, or end up taking too much?
Should I maybe cut up the most importantly tablets and take tiny bits every few hours so they get absorbed easier than a whole one, or is that a bad idea?
It's only the tablets, not capsules so that's something I guess...
FYI I have a couple of related chronic illnesses so take 15 pills/capsules etc in the evening, including strong opiates, and a couple of blood pressure medications to minimize strain on dodgy arteries.
