This is probably going to be long, but I am curious and mostly worried. I will start off telling you the midications I am taking and what for. For epilepsy I am taking 225 mg of Topamax, 100 mg of Lamictal and 200 mg of Phenytek every day. For depression I am taking 10 mg of Lexapro, and for pseudo tumor cerebri I am taking Imitrex.
The problem I am currently having is that I am bleeding. I won't say from where, but it is from a place where no one should bleed. (guess that kinda gives it away...sorry) Anyway, I have had blood tests done, and everything showed normal except my platelets were very low, and that means my blood isn't clotting the way it should. Since my liver and all checked out fine, my doctor said it was probably a side effect from all of the medications I have been taking. I have one more test to go through next week, a CT Scan, but if that doesn't give a reason for all this, and if it IS the medication, I was wondering if anyone out there had possibly had something similar happen to them and what happened with them.
With all the blood loss I am exhausted all the time. I sleep too much and it's like my body has weights all over it. I am so groggy. I hate feeling like this. It's almost like I am sleeping my life away.
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts.
Thank you.
Mary
