Thanks. Of course every input helps. I'll try the under the tongue thing. What dose do you have? Mine are 2mg and taste like orange a bit. I guess when I taste it I think I am swallowing it. It is the third day and I am much calmer. No more jitters or sweats. I see that I will most likely not need as much as I thought the first two days but the dosing will have to be three times a day not two.
I felt like I could have gone completely without my first dose today. I only took 2mg. Its difficult when I am taking other pain meds with it. I will stop the Naproxen today. I tried to stop the Lyrica but I am still in a flare. The Pharmacy cannot fill my instills now. They cannot get the Heparin because of the recall I think. Everything is so difficult. I called a pharmacy that is an hour and a half away. If they can make it perhaps they can mail it. Or I can figure out how to write the script so I can get the stuff and compound it myself. I think they will stop the flare. I also got a script for an antibiotic. I asked for Levaquin but he prescribed Cipro. Last time I went through Cipro, Levaquin and then Levaquin twice a day. Does everyone think I am stupid??? What could I do I just took it. Maybe Ill get lucky this time. It is so hared to do anything. Why does everyone make it harder?
I just saw my new pcp who refused to prescribe Parnate. Said he never prescribes it, that he felt he had no control as I was asking him specifically for Parnate, would not take the methadone he prescribed and that he did not feel that my depression was bad enough to warrant such a drug. I guess I need to change pcp's. He said he would help me find a pdoc but I don't trust his judgment. Would you??? After I left I thought perhaps I should demonstrate to him and my family etc. just exactly how depressed I am. As long as I am fairly quite about it everyone seems to ignore or just not believe it. It is more convenient I guess.
Ok, I am venting I know. I appreciate the help.
A very frustrated,
oky
