Why can’t I use the medication that has been successful for my friend, neighbour, and colleague?
What is good for one person may not so for you. Ignore the comments of your relatives and friends and follow the recommendations of your doctor. If the prescribed medication has not been successful, mention this at your next visit. Keep a diary or timetable of attacks which lists, in summary form, all the episodes that you have had since the last visit; their intensity, duration, the medication taken and the response obtained. With these details to hand, your doctor will look for a more suitable therapeutic alternative for your situation.
