The HCP :laugh: take it if they thought you knew too much about side effects of your medication.

I have my ATOS interrogation, OK medical if you insist, and decided to look up some of the side effects of my medication on-line to see if they relate to what I have been saying for years and the one side effect that pops up with a few times and I have complained about a lot is tiredness and just wanting to sleep, and sleepiness effects more than 1 in 10 people taking 1 on the tablets and on closer inspection many of my related conditions could be due to the tablets or the illness I have

What are the chances of going to the interrogation medical and the alleged doctor/nurse putting in the report, and worded in a way, that makes it look like I have been looking somehow to make my condition seem worse than it is? As you can probably tell I wouldn't trust ATOS if they were glued to the end of my shoes.
The info I am getting is no more than what is on the information leaflet given with your prescription leaflet, but as mine is in a dose-it container there are no leaflets supplied with them.

Hi Dean,

I don't think there is any likeliehood of a health professional suggesting this. It is more likely that they will simply give their opinion of what symptoms you do or don't have.

Hi Dean, I dont think you have anything to worry about you are allowed to ask your GP/Consultant about any side affects of drugs they prescribe for you. Also depending what illness/disability you suffer from, you may find that they have support groups and they are usually local to near where you live. Best wishes

Thanks, the reason I asked is because 1 tablet I have been on for 10 years and I have been able to sleep at the drop of a hat, but would at least get out of bed for some time during the day if I needed to be somewhere but was, in my opinion, in no fit state to drive even though I did :ohmy: causes tiredness but the majority of the new tabs I was put on since Feb also have the same side effect and all I do since been on them 99.9% of the time is sleep. What does worry my is that before I was on any medication I was easily confused and and feel more so now, that is why I normally never look at the side effects of tablets but with all the bad publicity that I have found about ATOS I wanted as much info as possible
