OMG. I am not positive, but I think my body is not liking the Triliptal.

Since Monday night, I have had the most obnoxious case of Vertigo. At first I thought I might be getting ill again. With the fibro, I never know. Not until it's really bad. Even then, I am never sure.

But it's not all the time. It hits, I fall down and it's gone. Almost amuseing. And it's worse when I lay down. Ever had the spins from drinking too much? Almost like that.

Then I thought it was stress and that the episodes were panic. But I don't get the tight chest and heart pound-ies until after the dizzy spells.

So, last night I was picking up my weekly load from the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist if the spells were side effects from any of my meds. Well, heck. Yes they are.

I dropped my dose in half last night and could barely get out of bed this morning. Every thing is spinning.

So, causionary tale. If one has been off a med that has such violent side effects, one must titrate back UP on them as if starting over. Oh my. I should have known better.

The pdoc admonished me and made me promise to call his cell phone if he ever gets that behind on scripts again, btw. LOL. He wouldn't even charge us his co-pay, he felt so bad.

What a crappy time of year to be ill. Nothing is getting done. Oh well. All I can do is what I am doing. sigh. No super hero here. Just me.
