New Drugs

I thought drugs were supposed to make you feel better. Today I've been pretty drowsy, and considering I slept for...10 hours...last night, I don't think it's lack of sleep! The doctor has put me on Carvetrend, which has the active ingredient carvedilol in it, which I'm pretty sure I've been on before. Probably when I was in worse shape... this is worrying. I think I took the trade name Dilatrend for some time. It is a beta/alpha blocker... don't ask me what that means, although I'll probably look it up soon anyway.

He's also put me on Vectoryl, which is an ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) inhibitor.
