about any new med, especially when one has intolerances to many meds! For me, it's the SSRI's of most versions AND the Beta blockers...Trying new alternatives is a Hit-or-Miss territory? You get either loopy, drowsy, incoherent, fall down and pass out [with or with-out help around] and it all is down right hair-raising scary!

I have had numerous reactions from new meds/combined with the current meds and I have to encourage one and all to START any new med on a MONDAY or TUESDAY! Not a Thursday or Friday...as during the weekend, well, you can't get your key doc for love nor money! My reactions were bad enuf that I SHOULD have gone to an ER...but, DUH why wait 14-18 hours to be told to go home and 'wait it out'? And, in the meantime 'pick up' something 'new' from another patient there....Sorry guys...It sort of seems as IF one is making a martyr of themself....but--Reality intrudes.

Honestly I'd rather have the reaction on a Monday, ask the doc for a look-see and see the next day or day after and go from there...cheaper, easier, faster and a whole boodle less stress! Lowering stress and pain is what this all is SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT, Isn't It?

Where are those who have the sympatico? Maybe we should make a 'secret' list? Sympatico seems to be missing of late... - j
