I had surgery on my shoulder and was given oxy, although the pain is still there I decided to stop taking them and have agreed to use the methadone to stop taking the oxy's, however, I was nervous because the Ribashere 200 mg has so many side effects that it might cause other issues.

I am ready to start my meds for both issues if you think it is ok.

Aloha Doc, do you think I should continue with all the vitamins I take as well?

Do you need a list of them? I know is to help heal the liver?

I started taking my meds today and dont want to do anything to make things worse.

Brief Answer:
No use

Detailed Answer:
Let me tell you that vitamins are required by our body in minuscule amounts and are not stored. Whatever we need is usually available from an average daily diet. So, unless you have a specific deficiency it is simply useless to take multivitamin supplements and all of it would simply be flushed out with urine. The question of safety does not arise because the body will simply not absorb this excess amount of vitamins. Such supplementation is therefore meaningless even in growing children.

I would insist you to stop taking it. However, you are free to continue with it if you want. All multivitamins are equally useless provided that you are not exhibiting symptoms of a particular deficiency. In case you ever get a particular deficiency, most multivitamins would not have sufficient quantity of that particular vitamin and it would be better to take supplements of that specific component rather than any multivitamin. If ever given in light of a specific deficiency, giving for 3-5 days suffices. You have no reason to believe that it helps in healing the liver.

Let me know if I could help further.
