anyone who speaks up about titrating slowly up is going to get my serious round of cheers...
it is so important...and that reminds me...
I found the sheets of info on the tegretol and clobazam that came with my latest prescriptions and shall post the warnings that come with them...
fascinating stuff....
including the information that people using tegretol should wear a bracelet or carry a wallet card stating this info....now does that carry on for topomax too I wonder???
going to ask pharmacist....and why do doctors recommend fast titrating on topomax...
I asked my pharmacist and she says it is often because they have not read all the literature and she always tells patients to go slowly....as for third watch...
that episode tonight really, as my new client's teenaged daughter would say, freaked me out...
I felt I was watching myself being treated...
and when they started arguing as to using ativan or valium I was shaking and in tears....
I know from talking to my doctor and his nurse and with the husband I have yet to divorce <g> that I was given valium to ease the seizures... they said it was more effective than ativan...
when husband came in I was on the sofa as rigid as a board, staring at the television, arms folded around myself, rocking back and forth...back to music from now on... although I do like West Wing...
as long as they don't enter into any epileptic stuff....kat
