Question
i'm taking Effexor XR and was recently prescribed a pain medicine for an injury to my shoulder. unfortunately for me, i don't remember what the name of the medicine was. i also just learned that the combination of the two could be lethal. i don't have the bottle that the pain medicine came in, and since i don't remember the name of the medicine, i can't google the answer. all i remember is that the pill was a brown or red capsule given to me by a doctor in Sports Medicine for my shoulder. would you happen to know what it could have been?
Answer
Call the doctor who prescribed the medication, immediately.
