I spoke with my pdoc this am and told him about the canker sores and what I am doing
and about all of your recommendations. (He was away all weekend) He says that
he has heard of several other cases of canker sores following the institution of a
new psychotropic med. (He didn't think it was Topomax) He thinks that having all of you as
GREAT (as long as there is doc support). I have another weird "event" to ask about but
as I am not sure as to whether or not it is a side effect, I probably ought to start a new
chain. Again, thanks to all. Maribeth
