The name is Tessalon Perles. I looked it up online and I didn't get a lot of info about it. Is there a link to a list that you know of with meds you should or should not take? I found one list but it's from the 90's lol. Thanks for your help.

Mike, I attend 5-7 meetings a week.
I am retired and have the time to dedicate to the program that saved my life and continues to save it on a daily basis. I try to "pass it on". Actually, while I was working years ago, I still attended 4-5 meetings/wk. Girl: I had a procedure recently in the hospital and I told the doctor and the anaesthetist that I am a recovering addict/alcoholic. They thanked me for sharing that and told me that all would be well with the drugs used in the procedure. All did go well as they said it would. I guess my point is I have to share with those professionals the truth of the matter and I also have to trust their judgement on prescriptions. They are the doctors !! If I think I am going to second-guess them based on various website opinions then I am only screwing myself. Why would I think that I have more information/wisdom than the doctor ?? Look at your scrip as a blessing from the doctor to help you. Take it as prescribed and get better. Try not to over-think this, try to trust and be grateful. All the best.

Thx Bob! I have been honest with my doctor. I think your right that I am over thinking. I just don't want to get back in old habits. Thanks for your help:).

I would take the drs advice to jess. I would think with the truth being out there they wouldn't put you in a bad place. And Jeffrey I'm in northeastern Ohio so your idea of cold and mine are so different!!! Lol
