see why the treating the sexual side effects was irrelevant in your case. I can also certainly understand your skepticism about multi-medication cocktails. I feel the same way on a gut level but I have to admit that these boards are rife with examples of polypharmacy success stories. Perhaps the difference is that those individuals are taking the various meds to treat various issues rather than taking them to mitigate side effects from the other medications.

hi kara.
I agree completely that polypharmacy success stories are those in which the meds are treating different conditions. Taking a med to counteract a med's side effects is at best an unfortunate necessity, and at worst a recipe for serious problems down the line.
