Q:
Should I continue with my prescribed medication while undergoing a course of acupuncture treatment?
2010-06-02
A:
Yes, at least until you have discussed this with your doctor or the practitioner who prescribed the medication. Many people seek the help of an acupuncturist because of dissatisfaction with drug treatment, because it does not seem to be working or because the side effects are unacceptable. DO NOT stop taking any medication without professional guidance.

Q:
Should I tell my doctor?

A:
If you are receiving treatment from your doctor then it is sensible to mention that you plan to have acupuncture. The acupuncture treatment may enable you to reduce or even stop taking some forms of medication, but you should always consult your doctor regarding any change of prescription. Your acupuncturist needs to know about any medication you are taking as this may affect your response to the acupuncture treatment.

Q:
How will I feel after acupuncture?

A:
Very often, you may feel rather relaxed and calm. Occasionally you could feel a little tired or drowsy for a few hours, and you should take this into account if you are planning to drive or use machinery. In rare cases, there may be a short-term flair-up of your symptoms as your qi clears and resettles itself.
