I was on Lyrica a few years ago. It messed with my mindset. Extremely heavy brain fog..I'm being monitored this time.
Before I took it for 10 years. My doctor never monitored me.

I love my doctor, but it irritates me that she has to Google medication interactions. They should already know this, as they are the prescriber.

You're pharmacist should know that better than your doctor. Everytime I get new meds my doctor has to Google the interactions
My pharmacist always warns me about interactions.
I research also before taking any new meds or supplements.
I do ALA, berberine, fish oil, D3, Jardiance, amlodapine, losartan, Rosuvastatin, hydrogen molecule water.
Berberine makes a noticeable difference in my numbers.
ALA. I feel better with it. It helps me with blood glucose control.
Hydrogen molecule water, seems to help me with blood glucose control.
@A DiabetesTeam Member I should have. It’s an over the counter supplement so the pharmacist didn’t know. I trust pharmacists over Dr when dealing with meds and their interactions. I no longer see that Dr. I also am more proactive. My Dr tried to prescribe an eye drop when I scratched my eye and I had to remind him I react to it.
ALA does work but if you take medications for your thyroid it does interfere with them. A doctor told me to take it and I did only to find I was starting to feel my thyroid meds were off so I did research and the first thing I read was don’t take if you are on thyroid medication. I stopped and things returned to normal. I felt that the dr should have known this since I’ve been on thyroid meds since 2014 since my thyroid cancer.
