As I have been prescribed the dexamfetamine and pramiprexole from one doctor and the tramadol from my gp, would it be advisable to speak to my GP to make sure they are aware of all the medications I am taking.

Thank you

Hello again,

As a medical law you have to tell your treating doctor and physician about the medicine each of them gave, so that they know the interactions, and can judge the side effects.

Besides its your health every doctor of yours has to think before advising medicines.

Take care
