Yes Bizi
good thinking to call your pdoc. i hope she agrees for you to take some daytime Klonopin to help you through this ordeal. and what Donna said too about your following instructions... i totally agree. remember even docs rely on other docs for treatment. love waves |

I jsut got home from the pharmacy picking up my new medications.
big news!!! I am not infectious!!!!! the culture did not grow anything so that means I don't have an infection!!!! It 's just rosacea out of control... hard to believe but that is it. they injected steroids under my skin...ouch... and prescribed 30mg of prednisone for 3 days the 20mg for 3 days then 10mg for 3 days. changed the antibiotic cream to an ointment so it won't dry out. I hope I don't go manic. Called the pdoc and she agreed to give me the extra klonipin in the morning. she is so good, she wants me to call back in a few days to let her know how I am doing and she would go from there. maybe increase it if I need it. I told jeff to help watch me about the steroid I want this inflamation to go away... you guys have been so patient with me. thank you for your support! bizi

Dear Bizi
i am so relieved for you!!!! i also hope you don't go manic. but that is a very short course of steroids, including taper period. i think you will be ok, but i am glad you are in contact with your pdoc and have asked jeff to help watch for mood changes. thank goodness. i hope you can get some good sleep tonight! waves |

I start the steroids in the morning with the additional klonipin....I told my sister and she is concerned. I did not tell the derm I was bipolar, nor did I tell the pdoc about him starting on the steroids...
I have taken them before and have not had any difficulty so am not worried, ok maybe a little. bizi I am a terrible patient.....

as i see it you have two choices. you can call her again tomorrow and tell her, saying you forgot to mention it. or you can do the same when you check in with her about the Klonopin. specify the dosage / taper schedule, too.
She may choose to increase the Klonopin or tweak your geodon temporarily. but i believe it would be best to get her in the loop - the sooner the better. mention your past experience too. she may even just reassure you... one less thing to worry about would be nice. didn't you take some prednisone for your shoulder - when you had the blocked shoulder? i think it was less than 30 mg that time (like 20 or 10 mg?). hopefully you'll be fine. waves |

IT is a total of 9 days, 30x3,20x3,10x3.
Is 30mg a big dose?

yes, i realize.
i'm not sure. but i've heard things like 10 or 20mg. do you remember what you took for your shoulder? it makes me wonder particularly because they have structured it with a taper period.... hmmmmm waves |
