I recall this definitely for neurological drugs. But of course some may never have trouble and some always have trouble. It’s just something to verify before quitting and swearing off the drug totally.

I agree,but I STRONGLY disagree with warning a patient that the drugs MAY make them sick. I am pretty sure most could figure this out for themselves,so why bother putting the suggestion in their heads?

@Jack Russell
Nobody has told me anything one way or the other about stopping the pills I am taking for cancer.
The VA is still sending me re-fills,and I am going to continue to take them for as long as the VA sends them.
I will ask the VA about this AFTER they stop sending them.
NOT going to rock any boats.

My sister went in for chemotherapy yesterday. UPMC - once again, just like 2020-22 - is requiring masks, despite the mountain of evidence that they do absolutely nothing to prevent transmission of the Covid virus. When they explained that those were the rules, her husband replied, "Yeah, Hitler had a lot of rules, too." Surprisingly, he wasn't thrown out.

You are more than welcome. I am grateful for the opportunity to POSSIBLY help someone else.

@mountaineer
I am surprised that BOTH he and his wife weren't thrown out.
THE hardest lesson I have had to learn was to keep my mouth shut even if I was right when the circumstances dictate that regardless of being right,I WILL lose.
No one individual can fight an entrenched bureaucracy and hope to win unless it is their leader.
