Thank you for forwarding me the podcast I found it very interesting, knowing I am not the only one suffering with these meds. I talk to my specialist tomorrow. At 75 I have multiple health problems, tinnitus, restless legs syndrome, insomnia, high cholesterol and awaiting a new hip. BC on top is a real bummer.
