Thank you I will definately talk to them about the medications I'm on.
But I'm not taking phenogrin, only Reglan and percacet, maybe it is just
the reglan. I did take one about a half-hour before I started feeling
nutz. The worst part about all this is because I had to call an
ambulance because I thought I was having a heart attack, give a girl a
break. At least give me longer then a weekend to cope. But, eh that's
life.
