Sorry your stomach is effed up. Watch out for pancreatitis. If it starts hurting right under your ribs in the middle of your belly go see a dr for that stomach ache. Especially if you feel bloated or feel like something is inside your stomach. Nauseated too.
Yeah I am not too happy about all the side effects of all these meds I am on. I would have never thought that the tegretol could have played a part in the pancreatitis but I guess it could have. I thought it was just the glimepiride. Now I just don't know what to think.
Since I am bp1 I am thinking my pdoc is going to want to put me on some sort of mood stabilizer I cant go on ADs, but really I am wondering if some of these meds are worth the risk. It just seems like they try to fix one thing with meds and it messes up something else in my body. Starting to feel like I am running out of options.
