@primek, thanks for your advice, I will check with my GP but I am sure in all the tests she has done, she mentioned thyroid was clear.
I have since discovered that 2 medications given to me - Amiltriptyline, by surgeon for nerve damage, and Akynzeo, by oncologist for anti nausea r contra indicated, listed as SERIOUS level as they r both Serotonin Raisers and can produce Serotonin Toxicity Syndrome. My Oncol. knew I was taking Amiltriptyline. I asked a DR (was put in Stroke Ward when admitted to hospital last Fri and Sat as ability to breath and talk much worse) about the contraindication, who said I needed to check that with my Neuro (same hospital) as he didn't know about that! He said I should see the neuro team again within 2 weeks!!!!!
Honestly, it took me 5 mins to find when I googled Akynzeo last week after advice on here that it was it was a fairly new med. and I should check it out. (Thanks @Zoffiel) Also remembered neuro team had jotted it down to "look at that medication " on my initial consult with them over 2 wks ago (have seen them 3 times in 2 wks). I had left that in their capable hands and not checked it out as they knew that I was taking both those medications. My husband and I feel that WE shouldn't have to b constantly following up this stuff!!!!
Has anyone else had any issues with Akynzeo please?
thanks again everyone xx
