Why can't the mental drs. and the gp drs. be on the same page. In February, my orthopedic dr. placed me on gabapentin. It helped, but my feet and ankles swelled like balloons and 3 weeks ago I brought it up to my dr. They told me to stop it. Gaba also works as a mood stabilizer. Anyway, ever since quitting it, my sleep has been more eratic, my feet are still swollen, and my nerve pain is slowly creeping back. I got Lyrica prescribed to replace the gaba, but it costs 3 times as much, so I have not taken it as prescribed because if feet don't shrink, I would prefer the cheaper med.

For the swollen feet, I had a circulation ultrasound which checked out fine. However my mind has been in overdrive from the stress of being at the hospital having it performed. I'm on the verge of a meltdown if I can't come back down soon. God knows don't want to show up at my pdoc appt. Monday morning all whacked out, agitated, pissed off, laughing, and depressed all at the same time.
