Don't we call this 'synergistic' or 'antagonistic' effect in science? Or, is there another proper term for this effect?

This is a great video. I was looking for how they interacted: where in the body, why, train of events etc., but I found something almost as interesting

Wow, found out what has caused my Diabetes!

This is cancer

If you want to see how bad it is to mix drugs, watch my only video. It is 20 seconds long.

great talk.

He is right, media nowadays can be used to check for things like drug interactions. But he has a problem: He just got lucky with those 2 drugs. There are millions of drugs and many of them don't interact. He can't just try out all the interaction combinations, that takes hundreds of years, and not only that, new drugs come out everyday. So unless he has a method of knowing which drugs are more likely to interact with eachother (those who aren't already proven to interact, he is wrong by saying there are no studies of drugs interactions previous to his'), he will be blindly guessing for interactions his whole life.

Got anxiety, better go and give him a Xanax
Focus, give him Adderall, sleep, give him Ambien

they told us that drugs were bad.....

Who is going to type in 9 different drugs and a side effect into a search query? I can't see most people typing in more than 1 drug and a side effect or series of side effects at a time. If you as doctors really have no idea what happens when 9 drugs interact with one another, maybe its time to rethink the approach of using "the hammer" as a first line treatment, let alone the one and only treatment for every situation and be more open to adding other tools to your toolbox.

The situation always seems to play out like this. Get sick, go see a western medical doctor, doctor tosses drug at you for problem. Some time passes, get sick again, go see the doctor(same or another one) to treat that new problem, doctor tosses drug at you to treat that problem. Eventually you get sick, go see the doctor, they ask what meds you are on and for some reason are shocked when you are on like 5 different meds face palm..

Maybe the question should be, why would you need so many drugs?

how? i bet big pharma is on it already. data collection... these databases he's talking about are, even in the best of cases, so woefully unreliable, with blanks in data in crucial points that examining requires hundreds/thousands of vital research hours. Big data has many huge implications. but data collection isn't even thought about. the point I'm making in a book I'm writing on this topic

My best friend's dad died when she was like 8 because he had pneumonia and then he accidentally mixed medications that had a chemical reaction and killed him.

I loved it! Total agree! I take Paroxe+lisdexanfetamine and omg... I feel so well, so strong, so positive that I hope ever take both pills together, forever and be as I ma, really!

How about using chemistry to learn more about the chemical interactions of drugs that you're interested in? That along with informatics should be useful. Not simple though, not simple

This is so important.

In addition to your PDR, I suggest buying:"The Handbook of Drug Interaction" by Ashraf Mozayani, Lionel Raymon. Or you can just read Katzung's Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, which I consider the bible. Your the Dr, you should know. There's a lot I know & a lot I don't. When in doubt, look it up. Don't blame the FDA!

This is why I avoid doctors.
