good to know about the topamax. i;ll try to remember that and blood tests for nortrip. i think i'll write some notes to take to next appt as i doubt my memory will hold.
trileptal is just not an option. after taking it i had a severe reaction that i thank God i was already in the hospital. i ended up being locked-in for about 10 hours.Saphris helped but only minor and the eating really wasnt too bad as i took it in the afternoon so i just had a decent (or extra) with lunch. at least not at 10 at night.
Yes! Latuda sucks... depression worse.early last year other pdoc chose Fetzima instead of Brintellix... not sure why but that's what she chose. i have not been on brintellix yet so yes, i did forget about that one.
....
as a note, i have had a little reprieve from the exhaustion of feeling everything simultaneously, today was more of a cycle. most of the day extreme langour and about 5-ish i felt that twinge in the pit of my stomach and energy bursts throughout my veins... i've been on three walks. the walks help but only for short time.
all i can think now is another 20 min and i'm going to take my sleep meds. its early but they didnt really work last night so ill take early in hopes that i can get to sleep before 2.i do truly appreciate suggestions. its hard when you dont know what i've been on and that my list of failed meds is so extensive.
i wish there was more research on this stuff.
thanks
scott.
