hi everyone

well, I did finally get a CT scan of my head....its normal. So it must've been a contradiction between the wellbutrin and my heart meds, specifically the arrhythmia drugs. I had a fainting/syncope type incident when I mixed Cymbalta with the heart drugs.

Anyway, first wellbutrin. disaster. then keppra. bigger disaster (manic like I have never experienced in my life. I was off the charts. Never have I experienced anything like that in my life). Off keppra. Then on lamictal. 2 weeks of a very low dose (25 mg) and I was more depressed ..... I was in a very deep very dark very dangerous hole. My only saving grace was that I knew it was because of the med interaction. So I'm going to "just say no" to any more antidepressants. They contradict with my heart meds. Maybe not everyone has that happen, but I did. So I'm don't with that crap. I will deal with my chronic low grade depression (dr thinks I'm BPII because my mood swing goes from depressed to less depressed).

Neuro was also unhappy that I refused tacfidera. I have pos JC virus and a 40% chance of a brain infection didn't seem like a good bet to me. She said well if you have a lot of bad luck maybe. (apparently she didn't read my file and the history etc.).

Anyway, just thought I would catch you up. Thanks so very much for you caring and support ... this has been an awful experience. And now looking for a new neuro. Or, no neuro. Honestly, I was managing my MS and other issues better with just a visit with primary dr. But I made myself go. I hadn't seen a neuro in over 5 years and some things were progressing (eyes, legs, etc.) but nothing is worth the hell I went through this last month.
