my stomach finally is not bothering me. I think it was from stress and anxiety

Does your monitor have a memory function on it to save some of the readings? Sometimes there's a button you can push to save abnormal readings, so you can bring the monitor in and show it to the doctor.

Anxiety is definitely a problem, but the readings you are listing are way too high, Bobby. Like you, I hope that your PCP will adjust your medication in some way. I think he will :hug::hug::hug:

Did you have an EKG at the walk-in clinic?

I'm so sorry that you are so depressed and are just laying in bed now (((HUGS)))
And I'm sorry about the bad stress dreams that you are having.

I hope that you will make an appointment with your old pdoc soon. You need to be seen by somebody soon so you can start feeling a little better.
I was wondering... are you still taking the Risperdal? Or are you only taking your antidepressant and Klonopin for psych meds?

These are all good question kay
thanks for being so competent and astute, to ask the right questions.
((((HUGS)))))

who doesn't quite often know what to say.

I realize your old psychiatrist gave you the $50. an month to fill your
prescriptions and the $175.00 a three months for the visit, but maybe
he will work with you on those numbers if things get hard.

Please make an appointment with him to get this straightened out.

138 84 96 and i forgot the other number. it has a memory I will bring it to the doctor. that isn't a bad reading. I don't think he will lower the prices. He usually charges 275 a visit. the walk in clinic just checked my heart and said it was fine.no ekg. I am just taking antidepressant and klonopin. depakote really messed me up. I still have a lot of drugs left so I will wait to see him and save my money. my gp on friday right now i think is more important.

Just take care of yourself, if you can maybe get in to him and make sure he can keep your klonpinin on target for you.

my stomach is bothering me again. 153 92 89

Bobby

I think your stomach is going to bother you off and on.

So lets do this a little different if you can.

Lets rejoice for each day that it doesn't bother you.

Lets see if you can give it a 1 if its just a little bothering.
And it gets better with the tea you drink. Or when you go
to the bathroom.

Or if its just a plain 3 all day because its just not getting any
better.


Kind of like my day on Tuesday, when I finally figured out that
I wasn't going to get to feeling any better till after I had thrown
up twice. And then it was a little and later a lot better.
But on Wednesday after my sleeping it was a lot better.

This was both my stomach and migraine. But it was mainly a stomach
headache if that makes since.
Donna :hug::grouphug:

Yes, right now your appointment with your GP is #1.
Try to only save the really high readings on your BP meter if you have the option to press the button to save readings.
I would like you to ask him about getting a prescription for something for your stomach while you are there because the OTC stuff hasn't worked for you :hug:

It's important to take care of your medical problems and your mental health if they both need attention. Nobody knows that better than me. You don't have to make an appointment for tomorrow, but I think you should book one soon (((HUGS)))

I keep forgetting to ask you how your appetite has been?

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.
bizi

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

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! :)

I took my bp twice today. the last one came out normal.finally. Hopefully that will cheer me up. I have been so depressed except when I was eating the ice cream. cecilia was away for three days but she invited me over later.
love
bobby

have a nice time with her!
bizi

thank you. I looked up the symptoms of klonpin withdrawal. I was on a high dosage because the other psychiatrists screwed me up.
combination of:

Somatic symptoms (e.g., headaches, sweating, and tremors in the hands)
Gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps)
Cardiac symptoms that often appear as the result of an anxiety rebound syndrome (e.g., increased blood pressure and heart palpitations)
Cognitive symptoms and psychological symptoms (e.g., confusion, irritability, mood swings, and rebound anxiety)
The potential to develop seizures. Robert is coming me over tomorrow to make sure I am using the blood pressure monitor correctly. I just bought low dose coated aspirin.

my pulse is so high. I don't feel well. I am so depressed

What is your pulse bobby. Feel for it at your throat/side of your neck under jaw bone then count for 30 seconds looking at a watch of course.
((((HUGS)))))
bizi

i get it from my monitor. I just took again and it was95 i

That is not high bobby.
bizi

i think another reading was 110

anxiety (of course) can raise your blood pressure

and your pulse so can coffee.:eek:
Are you drinking enough water?
((((HUGS)))))
bizi

I am drinking more water. Robert helped me order a smaller cuff. I have been having so much difficulty aligning the larger cuff. He spent an hour with me.
again I woke up with a stomach ache. My lower back is always stiff so I have a hard time walking besides my leg. I see the stomach doctor on June 19th at 11.
I will tell him about my constipation since I have had when I started taking all these pills. I will tell him about my stomach aches and hopefully tell him I want a colonoscopy. My antidepressant isn't working that well because I have so many physical issues, I have started coughing a bit and my nose is running. I wish I were braver. I see my old psychiatrist this morning. I will ask him about the side effects of depakote, i have had stomach issues since I took it.
I have been very tired.

the new blood pressure medicine is lowering it

good luck with your old pdoc.
((((HUGS))))

Bobby

I'm glad the new blood pressure med is lowering it.

I think you will do better.

Donna :grouphug::hug:

I was so happy to see my old psychiatrist. He is charging me only 125 per visit and when I don't see him he will bill me each month 49 for prescripion

That is great bobby!
bizi

That is very good Bobby.

You can take those payments off your taxes right.

And I think for your peace of mind that is good also.

Donan :hug::grouphug:

I have a low income so I don't pay taxes. I might see him in a couple of months instead of three. I think his presence helps stabilize me. I think I had tea for dinner. I don't remember what I ate. I had a veggie burger for lunch. all I seem to want is ice cream. My stomach continues to bother me.

I am sorry that your stomach is still bothering you.

Bobby

As long as he is helping you that is what is necessary.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

That's good to hear about the blood pressure, Bobby.
