I understand. This is important.

It is currently written for 2.5 mgs a day -- 75 pills a month.
Any script that is written for more than 2.5 mgs a day should get you more pills or an earlier refill, even in the 1mg strength which you prefer. A fresh script for 2.5mg daily or a lesser amount will not help.

Do you need another script right now -- you got the 2mg and 0.5 mg pills from 4min pdoc, right? I mean, so, total, you do have extra if you need it, or am I missing something?

Maybe I should have some wine and go to bed (-- I use wine when I have missed too many windows to sleep)
Do what helps. Wine does not produce good sleep, but if you only have a few hours to sleep anyway... better something than nothing.

feel better.

waves, you make me feel like a dolt.

I have only run across the word in context... Per the definition, it sounds like my use was a little off... I've never looked this word up, and it is one I've known for years... gotten it from reading and gleaned meaning from context (since I know I've never looked it up). Either it is 1. used the way I use it as well or 2) it has broader meaning than the way I took it.

Anyway, if there is a dolt here, it would have to be me.

med issues for Mari
 
Hi Mari, hope you and your Pdoc connect and you can find effective medication that doesn't hurt you. I know this is a tough issue at times and have experienced it myself. The best!:hug:

I had my phone in front of me and I did not pick up. I had too many calls and texts today while I was focusing on hearing from the pdoc.

He called. I did not answer even though I had the phone 6 inches from me. I had it on vibrate.

Arggghhhh!.
What was I thinking!!!!

He only has office hours from 9 to 12 tomorrow.
I probably have to wait until next week to talk to him.

Paresthesia started at 10:15 pm tonight --- a little less than 24 hours after my dose on Saturday.

Mari 08-25-2013 09:37 PM

I do not want to take the next dose. What am I supposed to do?

bizi 08-25-2013 09:41 PM

can you cut the 25 in half and try taking 62.5mg?
bizi

waves 08-25-2013 09:47 PM

I am sorry Mari. :(

How bad is it?

Are you ok to try keeping up this dose for a few more days, or a week?

What do you feel comfortable doing?
