I'm more concerned with her issues with reactions to medications. That the different generics might give her a reaction. So staying with the same generic is the easiest way to know.

Derrick also did well with this particular generic when he had to switch. But we got lucky and he wasn't made to switch to many generic brands on it.

Yep. That's exactly my thinking, too.

I slept 2 hours Wed night because I had to be at work at 11:00 am. I stayed there until late afternoon/rush hour traffic and rain. When I do not get enough sleep I do not feel like I am managing.

Sometimes I ask hubby to help me and he does. Tonight I made him sit next to me while I filled out my pill minder. I talked him and myself through it -- "two of this one each day, one of this, . . . "
. . . When I was finished I took out the ones for Thursday and laid them out by color and size before taking them.

The pill minder task is completed except I only did six nights because one bottle of pills was completed at six nights and the next bottle was in another bag and I did not want to mess up my system -- such as it is.

Sounds good Mari

Lamictal
 

Today I started Lamictal: 25 mgs at 2:45 p.m.with a bowl of strawberries.

I canceled the appt with the 4 min pdoc.

It is 7:00 pm and I am feeling the Lamictal. I think I am getting a sort of brain fog. Or maybe it is making me sleepy.

Mari

Mari

The lamictal will make you sleepy. So because you took it so early I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't what is going on.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Hi, Donna,

It feels weird because, as you said, I am still awake :cool:

I should have started with a half dose.
Tomorrow I will take a half pill of the 25.

Mari

That is a good idea.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I take mine at night before bed.

glad that you canceled your 4 min pdoc appointment!
