Ya know? I'm not sure? I usually just check with the pharmacist and
tell him what I'm not supposed to take and ask if it's okay and they
are usually very helpful. They will also tell me if I'm apt to have an
interaction with my other med. Although we live in a small city so my
pharmacist knows me now which helps. I son't like to take anything that
mat cause dizziness and that rules out a wide aray of meds. Especially
cold medications. So I suffer colds through. Anything with
Benzodiazopines I stay away from. And like you the blood thinners as
they make the blood flow through the brain too fast. It can cause the
blood to hit those vein walls too hard as my neuro doc says. Better
safe than sorry. And my BP tends to run on the low side so that is good
too. Although I have had a few really high ones. The contrast for MRI
will send me over the edge for a short period of time so I have to be
watched. But on a normal basis I do okay.
