I'm in the middle of phone/portal message tag with my pdoc right now. I messaged him this morning about how they will not schedule me for a dizziness test if I am not willing to stop my meds for 48 hours before the test. He called me back this evening, but I was in a counseling appointment so missed his call. He said he thinks I'd probably be fine pausing the meds for this test and suggested I just do it towards the end of the week so I have the weekend to recover/get meds back in my system.

I sent him a message in response to the voicemail asking specifically about lamotrigine. I asked him if I'd have to start lamotrigine at a lower dose again if I stop it for two full days before this test so that I don't get the rash that can happen.

Thursday, I meet with my boss in part to talk about next school year. I am going to ask if it would be possible to have 5th period (last class of the day) prep next year. This would possibly allow me to keep my pdoc, at least longer than through this summer, because I could leave during my prep in order to get to appointments on time. Fingers crossed this can happen!
