Headaches and Hamsters
Edronax plus Lithium is not a friendly combination. They combine to give you much worse side effects than the two taken separately. Most of them I can cope with, but not with the daily headaches, which don’t respond to paracetamol. And no, I can’t try ibuprofen, as Lithium prevents you taking any non-steroidal anti-inflamatory pain killers.
Since my consultant is on holiday all of this week and next, I’ve decided to reduce the dose by 1/4 on my own, because I just could not tollerate the pain. I would expect to speak to my consultant, and a drug change some time after Easter.
On an unrelated note, my second dwarf Hamster died on Friday night. We think he had a stroke. As a result we have 2 very large hamster cages, and loads of toys if anyone’s interested! Otherwise we’ll put them in the paper, or give them to a charity shop.
