Saw my pdoc today. She wants to change meds a little. I need an EKG first, as we need to rule out QTc prolongation first, from the citalopram I already take and before we add another med which also has QTc prolongation potential.

Some pdocs/pharmacists will allow 2 meds with this potential, without an EKG, some will not. She will not, nor will my pharmacist.

Benzos are not working for sleep anymore. Adding Seroquel or trazedone, etc., is not an option until the EKG is done.

Ii had spent 3 hours finding the right place to get an EKG done and then... there was too much red tape to sort out today to get it done. I had to leave the medical center w/o an EKG.

I will make more calls about this tomorrow.

UGGH.

I am irritable.

Thanks for all of the wonderful support.
Love to all!
