Probably her doctor. Just guessing.

They should as the UK has higher standards with medications (among other things) then both the US and Canada.

Hope that you can stick to your meds. I have to take epilepsy meds twice a day to control my seizures. I was told by my Dr that I shouldn't drink so I don't. You're young and I sympathize with you.

It's not just the pharmacy's job toilet you know about your medication, it's yours too. And all medications come with information about the medications that tell you things like the side effects and if you need to change any type of behaviors such as diet or drinking.

I agree. I work in a pharmacy, and I can't tell you how many people deny counseling from our pharmacist, then call back about having certain reactions. It is the patient's responsibility to read the paperwork that comes with the medication, or to at least look at the bottle. There are colored stickers of dos and don'ts on the bottles themselves. Herpa derp.

It still seems a little odd that you SPECIFICALLY texted your new employee. People do things while drunk that they will only THINK about doing sober... You SHOULD be ashamed and I'm glad your husband is understanding because if I were a guy and this were my wife I'd be questioning a few more than the alcohol and medication. But that's just me.

So will you be as understanding as your husband if you find him sleeping with another woman and his excuse is I was drunk? The meds only make you more intoxicated, they don't make you sext anyone. It's your thoughts that cause that. Your behavior is your responsibility; being altered isn't an excuse. You are responsible for your actions, regardless of your state of mind.

I have actually gotten medication for my kid that didn't have any info with it.. It was pretty frustrating. But I did go online to look since i'm not about to give my kids something I don't know much about.

I agree with you completely. I don't understand how your comment or mine still got down votes. I mean, being drunk doesn't justify her sexting another guy. Just like it wouldn't justify her hubby sleeping with someone else. Oh well, our point of view isn't coming across as we thought. :/

22- OP, I'm so sorry for all the assholes that are saying you deserve it and that are putting you down. They've obviously never had to deal with any real mental illness. It's about more than just the alcohol- it's about the psychiatric medication, and your underlying condition. Don't let them get to you. I know how hard it can be. I'm a manic depressant, panic attack without agoraphobia, OCD, and was once diagnosed with PTSD that I've managed to recover from. The mania can hit in so many different ways. At my worst, I've screamed until my throat tore, curled up in balls rocking, gauged my limbs with my nails, laughed hysterically while sobbing, gone 115 hours without sleep and attempted suicide twice. I've gone through depression, mania, and through hyper-sexuality. Some medications make it better, some make it worse, and some work for a little while and then just stop working. Paxil almost left me dead. There are people out here who feel your pain. I know how hard it is when you have to listen to people telling you to just get over it, or that it's your fault. Sometimes no matter how hard you try you just can't fix your brain by yourself. Sometimes you just really need help, and I'm glad you have a supportive husband, one who it sounds like can hold you, and say, "Hey, I know, and I'm here, and I know you'll be okay." I'm sorry for the rant. I usually don't disclose that much, but I feel like you need to know that someone understands how hard the treatment for mental illness can be. Good luck with it, okay?

^ tl;dr

37 and 39 - she wasn't just drunk. The alcohol mixed with her medication and you have no idea how that affected her brain.

I'm glad things worked out for the positive in the end OP!

#53. I have borderline personality disorder and manic depressive disorder. I take lots of medications to help me with that, yet I don't go and mix alcohol with my medication because I want the medication work so I can have the best life I can with my mental illnesses. It's her responsibility to make sure she properly takes care of herself on the medication, and if she can't, then she should be in care. Anyone should be. I was before I learned to control myself.

Good luck with yours as well :)

Um, if your doctor "forgot" to tell you potentially dangerous drug interactions then that nurse shouldn't be shrugging that off... that is negligence and could get someone killed. Also, since I'm American, did you get the meds at the hospital or at a pharmacy, because the pharmacist should have told you as well.... if I was you, OP, I would be lodging some serious complaints since, as I said, this sort of negligence could get someone seriously ill or killed.....

Ah well, at least it sounds like it all worked out okay.

oh quit the moaning!

Thanks for the totally useless advice. It's like watching a pharma commercial.

As long as you learned from your mistakes op! Lol. Glad everything worked out and didn't really effect your job that much. Thanks for the lol! :D

Sooo, when you stop taking your old pill, you can drink again! You should invite the new guy out with you ;)

62- OP is married, why would she take the new guy out with her? Seriously.

Stop taking meds, they are the government trying to control your mind.

^^^^^ Well, somebody's a bit paranoid.
