Hi Cam,
How are you? I started my first week with the Lamictal, so far so good, I know it is too early to know anything, the doc has got me at 25mg per week, increase up to a point of 100mg per day, we'll see. I have a question as to if I am being over sensitive or over conservative, here it goes : the other day when I got the Lamictal filled at the drug store which is in the A&P (grocery store) the regular pharmacist wasn't there and this lady that was there whose badge said "asst. pharmacist" asked me in front of other customers, what is my doctor prescribing this to me for, it is for epilepsy! She saw "psychiatrist" on the script I am sure that made her suspicious plus I think she was back in the dark ages, cause I sheepishly said to her "it's also for depression, bipolar disorder", besides epilepsy! Now shouldn't she have called my doc and question him and not me, the patient? Wasn't that unprofessional? I was a little embarressed, suppose I was getting a script for an STD, ha!ha! and all the other customers heard her. I was soshocked, otherwise I would have told her she was very unprofessional and she should call my doc, and not question the patient, but I could not think that fast due to being dumbfounded. But really if I did was I wrong to feel this way? Was she being unprofessional? Don't you think she should brush up on her meds? I probably know more about some of these "psyc.meds" than her just from the internet and reading and taking them, ha!ha! When you have a chance let me know what you think, and if anyone else reads this feel free to also let me know your opinions.
Thanks
