If you overdosed on gormless pills would you become sensible??

Good news bless her xx :-)

Brilliant news, Florence! :-D

Perhaps I should get my doctor to prescribe me some "gormless" pills.

THE PILLS>>>> THE PILLS.............ooops the BELLS.......

:-D

Afternoon peeps
Just rang mum and shes all sorted. The tablets that came that she handed back were infact water tablets! Shes never had them. She had mentioned her ankles were swollen a lot awhile ago but the Dr.didnt tell her she had prescribed tablets.

She got to see a Dr this morning and it would appear that her BP tabs had not been reordered. She took a new request to boots, asked for a glass of water and took one about 10am.


She's been relaxing all afternoon as she said this morning she was worried sick and didn't sleep all night which is what I thought would happen.
Anyway all sorted so I can tick that worry off my list!

Thanks for all your advice and suggestions

So....Bob....was it the gormless jokes; the by-pass op or the lack of tablets that has sorted you out getting confused :-)

Gormless joke? I am deadly serious. If you will excuse the pun. Even my doctor says that my beta blockers and blood pressure tablets are so low as to be of no effect. I have never suffered from high blood pressure in my life, it has always been at the high end of normal. After my first heart attack in 2003 I was put on lots of tablets, none of which stopped me having two more. Echo cardiograms have shown that my heart is working normally for a man my age, it was just the plumbing causing the problems. A by-pass has sorted that out.

The leaflet that comes with the medicine should tell you what to do if you forget a dose.

Mine says:
"Do not worry. If you forget to take a tablet, leave out that dose completely. Take your next dose at the right time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose."

Best not to read the possible side effects part though. ;-)

Ive forgot to take mine lots of times and am still here to tell the tale ;-)

What I have done if I have forgotten to take mine when I get up. I take it when I remember then the following day I take it one hour less than the day before and I hour less each day to I am back on track to breakfast time?

Florence asked a perfectly steraightforward question and received a number of useful and accurate replies. It is not really the place for one of Bob's gormless jokes Sylvia. I am far too long in the tooth for my leg to be pulled by anybody.

My late alcoholic ex who lived with his alcoholic mother attempted suicide and his mother was convinced he had overdosed on Yeastvite and it wouldn't have surprised me either!

Say Bob is pulling your leg .............. again! :-D

Say Bob had been taking Multi vitamins...eat more veg and fruit Bob :-D

Say Bob had been taking lisinopril.
Having read his book he will stop taking them.
Pretty soon.

Make sure your will is up to date Bob.

I read a book last month, Too Many Pills., by James Le Fanu. I haven't taken any since.
