Worker's Comp has thoroughly thrown a spanner in the works by functioning efficiently. The new prescription (Trileptal) was approved in only 24 hours! My doc and I assumed a week or so, as is the norm. The Topomax took eight days. The pharmacist said some scripts take three weeks to go through. I guess I am an efficient complainer. Well, I know I am.
Do you think I should wait a little longer to let the Topamax clear? Its half-life is estimated at 21 hours, my last dose was 53 hours ago, and I'm still experiencing moderate continuous symptoms from that stuff.
Standard tox practise has clearance at 5 half-lives, i.e. 105 hours, or thereabouts. I don't want to have to deal with additive effects.
Thanks, bro.
