Barrels of luck! I called the office to ask for 25 mgs a week ago and they didn't return my call. (Answereing machine.) Instead of being assertive and calling again, I just kept chopping. I didn't know Topamax came in 200 mgs--whooeee. I've been doing 300 t.i.d. and plan to do 400 like wise, if I ever get there.
That foot in mouth business has me pulling out of public events. As my son and I walked down a really crowded street in Manhattan this week I heard myself telling people out loud to "move it!" Uneven quarters. Got to get those 25 mgs.As for the wellbutrin, I'm less anxious at 100 mgs but more teary. Medication management is pretty discouraging, especially when the minds of doctors and consumers are a hitch apart. They just don't think about cost--co-pay, what's that?--or convenience. I always have to remind mine that I need generic. Every single time. Maybe your pdoc thought it would be more convenient for you to take 200 mg pills rather than all those little 25 mg suckers, but he could have asked. Drug reps do a job on the medical mind, I believe.
My mind is ready to go read a beach book.
