Check this out regarding that med, then I thought I'd ask you guys too.
Can anyone tell me more about this drug?.....I was prescribed it, but it freaked me out a bit because they said I can't stop taking it for 3 years in my case. It’s kind of like birth control pills where every day of the week is marked so you don't miss one😲.
Last week they put in two stents, and 9 years ago after surviving a heart attack, I had a double bypass. Everything was fine until now; the only meds were Lipitor 20 mg and Aspirin Low Dose, my blood pressure was good, I felt great, worked normally, even did some shift work for a while. Now everything is totally different. After this last procedure, I'm still on Aspirin, but instead of 20mg, the Lipitor is up to 40mg, plus new stuff: Plavix 75mg and Dideral 2.5 mg. Because of work, I've been told no more shifts and if I don't have to, stay away from the heavy lifting (if you know what I mean😉). Plus, I'm currently on a notice period that'll probably get extended since I'm on medical leave👎, so I'll see what happens later. Honestly, I'd love to just retire😁. Reading about potential side effects, it seems like staying home might be best😁, and what worries me most is how everyone saysyou absolutely cannot miss a single dose of Plavix.
Maybe it's nothing, but these daily meds cost me almost $350 a month. I guess I see why that industry is doing so well now😉
