Thank you dysfunk. Agree with you about doctors.
Have really lost my faith in them. And I really like my doctor! But that doesn't necessarily mean he is right! I am going to go to another one and start over. Getting off the med's I did has been hard. I still don't feel good. The thing I am experiencing most is that I no longer have that "I don't care", "Nothing bothers me" feeling. My emotions are back - but not sure that is a bad thing! I'm just trying to keep them in check - some things are upsetting - I have to focus on what I'm feeling and why. And try to not overreact. Not sure this makes any sense. Had a very stressful past week (family problems) and did break down and take one valium three days in a row. Was disappointed in myself. And you know what happened? The vertigo that was starting to get better got worse the second day I took a valium!! What does that tell me?? I think the valium had been causing the vertigo for years! Or, does the stress cause the vertigo?
Either way, I'm not taking the antivert - sure there must be a side effect to that too!! Am still off all of the other med's I mentioned in my original post! I am happy about that. Again, thank you for your time. I hope that you are feeling better soon. Glad you can take the Lex.
I could not function on it. Let us know if it keeps working for you! Oh! One more thing. Don't you just love it when one doctor has you on a med's program and then when that doctor is not available another one comes in and switches it??
Then your primary doctor comes back and switches it back! I have had that experience also. Did you get any answers when you questioned this? I sure didn't!! Again, don't think any of them really know what they are doing!!!!
