Unhappy

Dear Bear,
I hope you called the pharmacy and pdocs office again.
This really is upsetting!
I am sorry that your anxiety is out the roof and that you are feeling unbalanced.
There is a lot of stress this time of year and you need your meds!!!!!
Could you possibly fax something over there....just another way to get their attention and then it is also documented for your chart.
I am sorry sweetie.
((((HUGS))))

Dear Bear, I am so sorry. I have often accidentally let my meds run out before refilling them, and even one day without is hideous. Over time I have found that sitting next to the pharmacy counter, raving and foaming at the mouth is highly effective. The pharmacy staff will get sick of you and start to call your doctor for the refill! Docs respond much more quickly to pharmacists pestering them than mere lowly patients.

Yes I was one of those that got low sodium from the trileptal and low wbc and rbc too, could not figure out why I could not donate blood, low rbc...anyway.
When I switched to lamictal I don't remember having to taper off the trileptal, sense I was having symptoms we jsut stopped it and started on the low dose of lamictal.
What happened to your eyes?
was this unusual? I had never heard of that as being a side effect from that.
are you feeling any better?
How is wes?
((((HUGS))))

It was weird. All the sudden, everything just got blurry. I couldn't focus and when I mentioned it to the pdoc, he tapered me right off.

Wes started having trouble with his eyes a few months ago and the pdoc is tapering him off too.

I guess it's one of those strange and infrequent side effects.

Vertigo kicked my butt last night driving but it was because of the snow that was blowing sideways and the windsheild wipers.

This morning is so much better. Yipeee!

Yep. Good way to diet during the holidays. I am getting better every day. Just one little dizzy spell today and no nausea. I am starving though.

Thanks for the sympathy. I needed it.
