I agree with you, Jappy.

We have to be our own advocate. Research and double check what your Neuro tells you. They aren't the ones having to take these meds and suffer the side effects.

I'm at the point where I'm tired of being made to feel ungrateful (by my Neuro) for the fact we have access to all these meds. Last visit he told me I should be thankful there are so many choices. I am.....if I can find one that works for me. If Tec works for you that's great. Not every med works for everybody. I feel like I need to remind my Neuro of this as he seems irked every time I have a problem with a med.
