Default re meds/osteoporosis

Dale,
I cannot seem to find even a calcium supplement of any type I can stomach w/my methadone. Then to top it off I too was really concerned re the potential jaw necrosis effects of my osteoporosis med (Actonel) so I stopped it for over a year.

Went from t-2.2 to t-2.6 this past year.


I'm also not pleased with the cholesterol reducing drugs. Liver toxicity seems so possible.

Currently I'm taking Methadone, Neurontin, Fioricet, Skelaxin and supposed to take Actonel and Zocor (the two I'm not taking as I should).

I see my PCP next week and I know she will be only too happy to yet throw another script my way for whatever I mention..

What has medicine come to? I always ask about the drugs interacting and am reassured they won't. I always ask about potential probs caused by prescribed drugs and am told that the benefit outweighs the risk currently (esp. with osteoporosis and cholesterol meds).

I'm ranting .. sorry. There is more I can say tho it all boils me being non compliant I suppose.

Anyway, I do hear your concerns and share them re the biophosphates..
