Completely, screwed up my meds.!!!

[houghchrst]

Phyllis I would just start over with what your doc wants you to do and mark each day on a calendar as soon as you take it so that you can get it right. If you set an alarm on your puter or something it will help you. I hated it when I had to do the same because I always forget the mid day dosages. Doc did the same to me for Pamelor. then when I got to the end I had a single evening dose which is what I take now.

That's the problem, Chris............................................. ...............

I screwed up what my doctor wanted me to do, because, she made go through an entire week
of taking it *one* amount, then, when I got used to *that*, she'd increase it to a higher amount, etc.
*But*, what I was taking at the *beginning* of this whole night-mare, was working just, fine!
I don't understand, the screwing around with it!? Especially, just throwing it at me, without,
knowing that the previous dose was working perfectly?! I appreciate your suggestion, but, I really
think, I'm going to go with my previous dose, because, it was helping me so much and, because, I
have *that*, routine, down, pat. When I see her, I'm just going to tell her where she can stick her new
med. routine!!

I thought you were having problems, not with your seizures but other things?

Well good luck.

Understood, Sue!

*But*, I'm on *2*, different meds. and she wants me to take different doses of *both* of them every
week. With 2 meds. it's just too confusing. My brain doesn't work like that.

Hi Phyllis,

Tell your neuro to order a DNA test for you by doing this they will find what AED will help you the most and have the least side effects. If I were in your place I would call your neuro and ask why they are messing around
so much with your AED's. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue,

They only added one med. to what I was already taking. For whatever, reason, she felt, I needed it.
I just didn't understand how I was supposed to take it with my other Med., but, I spoke with them today,
so, it's all good, now!!:)

Are you who are having issues with meds seeing an Epileptologist who has done the Fellowship in Epilepsy or are these general neurologists? They sound a little like general neuros. Also are your seizures stopped cold on the regimen? If not, then the meds aren't working anyway. Time for the Epileptologist Tattoo

Tattoo, see my latest post.

I tried to delete this post,

but, I guess, too much time had passed. Anyhow, I just spoke with my neuro. and she
dealt with my medications. Damn, did I have everything messed up!! No wonder, I was having
*serious* side-effects!!!

Phyllis,I'm a little late in replying to this,but,I screwed up my drug schedule to accommodate an early morning flight about three months ago,of course,AMA..I was "off" for about a day or two.(No sz,just conked.) Just remember timing is everything with these dosages..time zones can screw you up,as well.

Coffeelover, I don't know how bad it got for *you*, but, *I*, mean, *I*, really, screwed things up
to the point, I took *lots*, more of *some, things, than, I should, have!!!
