Oh I shall

On the MS front today (wow, I forgot about my MS for a millisecond woo!), my GP talked to me about my headaches/head pain. She figures what I describe is the MS.

My neuro had actually suggested she try me on Lyrica. She chuckled and said, "I haven't seen many good results with Lyrica". So I asked about Topiramate, but she said this would not be a good idea to try, since I have had side effects on Carbamazepine and Neurontin in the past.

So she's prescribed me Clonazepam (Rivotril in Canada, Klonopin for those in the US). She figures my anxiety (which I also discussed) is contributing to the head pains and agrees this is probably also contributing to the burning mouth (which is pretty lousy today, as you can imagine, after hearing about the colposcopy). So I have 30 .5 mg tablets, and can take 1/2 to 1 tablet 3 times daily when needed. I'm going to give the 1/2 tablet a shot for now (good thing I kept my pill cutter!).
