Hi Laureen,

You are having a busy week or two!

Wednesday was 6 weeks from my surgery. On Thursday I decreased Tegretol to 400. The dizziness has gotten considerably better and today I DROVE for the first time in months! Yay! The ear pounding has gone away. I, too, am still tired though it's better every week. The last couple days I've a sore throat (think that's gone now) and a lot of indigestion. I'd stopped taking Zantac when I went off Topamax, just went back on it and stopped drinking coffee. I have teeth cleaning scheduled this week (unless I cancel). I really don't want anyone messing around inside my mouth yet, but the teeth do need cleaning, and I should have called before this to cancel.

Enjoy your family events - and I hope the decreasing continues to go well.
