thank God although I feel like eating that Hagaan daz ice cream and blueberries
i am not that hungry. I will ask him for a prescription for my stomach. I will tell him i do want a colonoscopy but when my bp is more normal. I have only been using the cuff monitor lately when my bp wasn't at its highs. I still have a lot of klonopin and I went back to 2mg twice a day. even though my lower back still bothers me I think the extra klonopin has made it less stiff. I almost feel this morning but caught myself on a piece of furniture and regained my balance. the last psychiatrist put in a refill for my antidepressant. I will have a lot of that.
I will ask my doctor if having my klonopin cut more than half could be part of the reason my bp was so high. right now I am back to the same dosage my former pdoc had prescribed and which was working for me. I am a bit hypo

Feeling a bit hypo is an honest reaction and good that you notice it. We always have to be vigilant and watchful for hypo manias.
Just had a fudge pop at 40 calories, yum.

my blood pressure was so high this morning. I wonder why it is so high. Last night I didn't know if I wouldn't wake up or have a stroke and be paralysed. I see the dr at 8:20. I wonder if he can give me medicine to bring it down.
so worried

I am hoping that the Dr. can help you and help ease your mind.

he said my blood pressure monitor was accurate. He put me on another medication and also probiotics for my stomach.he told me to make an appt with my cardiologist and with a gastrologist. I see him again in a month. He said if my blood pressure goes really high to go to the emergency room. He said I should probably go back to my old psychiatrist and maybe the klonopin reduction by the two other psychiatrists have something to do with my fluctuating high blood pressure and heart rate

I'm thinking of you this morning, Bobby (((HUGS)))

I hope that your doctor will give you some medication to start getting your BP down (I wish he could get an EKG done as well, but I don't know if they have a machine in his office). And I hope that he gives you a script for your stomach problems :hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry that your appetite is still not good. I guess we're both pretty much surviving off of ice cream right now :D

I think that you're probably feeling hypo because you are no longer on the Depakote. What kind of symptoms are you having? Are you staying away from eBay, Amazon, etc?

I'll check the forum later to see how things went at the doctor...

It sounds like the appointment went well. I just wish he gave you something better for your stomach, but you can give the probiotics a try, and if they don't work, the gastro could give you something that does.

How do you feel?

i feel lousy and anxious and my stomach hurts. Yes I bought some more tops at ebay and got free kindle books at amazon. I am exhausted.

I have an appt to see my old psychiatrist at 9:25 on Monday. I don't know if Donna was right or not but she said an office visit was 125 and the prescriptions were 49. I thought it was 175. I will call the gastrologist on monday. I just ordered two hagan daaz ice cream and it will come late this afternoon

OhKay 06-08-2019 11:59 AM

I'm very glad that you have an appointment with your old pdoc Monday :)

He was much more cautious about the side effects of the meds he put you on, and about keeping the doses of some low to prevent side effects. I hope that he can get things straightened out for you :hug::hug::hug:

I hope you feel better (((HUGS)))

Enjoy your ice cream... I know I will be enjoying mine! :)
