Thank you, Cam. I have another couple of questions, if you don't mind.

First, do you know if something like checking electrolyte panels regularly can help predict seizure risk? Is there anything that can reduce risks? Any warning signs? And is the seizure risk highest when starting the drug, raising the dosage, or does it remain the same over the course of using the drug?

Secondly, I'm a restrictive type anorexic. So far, I don't think that it's really done much damage to my chemistry, although the latest round of blood work isn't back yet. Isn't the risk higher for bulimics than anorexics?

Overall, I think I trust the new doctor more than the old doctor, but I'm still a bit concerned. Too many bad med reactions, you know.

Thanks again for your response.
