I have had an ECG, a chest xray, blood tests for everything to include BNP, electrolytes, CMP etc. Also the doc said that the swelling is non pitting edema which is not associated with CHF. Abilify, Lamictal and Provigil all have edema listed as a side effect. I feel like I've covered my bases here. I do take it seriously, I just hate to have to back off all my meds to find out which thing or interaction of things is causing me grief this time.
I get so many stupid side effects that others rarely get that it seriously limits my med choices. I think that next in line with my pdoc was Trileptal which I don't know too much about. I guess I'll find out more about that tomorrow when I talk to him though.
