Racer starting with the fast vs slow metabolizer I would think a fast metabalizer would need a higher dose? I don't know though it's new to me.
Now the zoloft was supposed to be increased to 200mg. I just didn't do it. My fault. And I was on the 50 for over six weeks. I think we just moved or were getting ready to so she switched me to the luvox again.
Last night I took my standard luvox, valium and went to sleep no problem. In 31/2hours wide awake. Sweating like a pig I've been through menopause. The temp in the house was 62. I took ibuphrophen as I knew it would lower my body temp and my last of the valium 5mg and added an extra 5mg . Nope didn't go back to sleep.
Since the pdoc said no changes in meds til the thyroid is straightened out. Called endo. Then cancelled the 5hour ride to the pdocs for tomorrow as no point in it.Then a call to the GI doc. As of now the endo called back. Having the bloodwork repeated tomorrow as what is going on is the opposite of what should which is what I told the nurse. I said anxiety on a lower dose should be going down and the sweating too. As the tests indicated hyper and on a lower dose close to a month now. But getting worse
Then the GI doc's office called back and said he still wanted an Ultrsound of the liver as a lot of things gallbladder included could be going on. That blood work indicated an autoimmune form of hepatitis not communicable but treated with the dreaded prednisone and anti cancer meds. Google ASMA and ANA. My ANA is l:l80 low for me and the other is elevated low indicating type l autoimmune hepatitis.
Maybe Things will start to fall into place now as to why I react the opposite to meds than others? Who knows. I'll keep you posted but the fast vs slow metablizer can you explain more? Thanks Jan
