I am not renewing my script for Cymbalta at this time. I guess I should just call my p-doc and tell her what has been and is going on, huh?
Just so sick of Doctor's. I see her the end of this month, I think, or is it next month? Have to check. Maybe I should just up my appointment with her. Too much to explain over the phone and she is hard to get a hold of, I have to talk to my case manager that gets everything screwed up, sad to say. 
I really would like to start the Topamax today. In fact I should, since I need to be on a AD. Don't want to get all down and depressed on top of all of this. 
Any thoughts? I can use all the help I can get. 
Sorry to be such a pain in the butt. Lately I have been a post nut, venting away, asking lots of ????, hope I can return all the support and help you have all given me.

Hey, I know this is a late response, but I believe when you write AD you mean anti-depressants, correct? Just a little input from me, Topamax is not an anti-depressant. It does, however, help with mood swings as well as killer headaches. So if you need to be on an "AD" Topamax may or may not be enough. I do love it. The drug does seem to work wonders. Just make sure to drink plenty of fluids because kidney stones occur quite frequently with patients on Topamax.
