It’s the Vraylar giving me liver issues. My primary dr is going to contact my liver doctor and so is my Pdoc. And I just picked up the 60 100 gabapentin so I can take two a day. Pharmacist said if I get the same side effects at this dose to “just push through”! I am NOT going to do that when I’m dizzy and feel faint- especially while driving! My Pdoc is going to contact my liver doctor too- she said if my liver enzymes stay this high it could cause cirrhosis/scarring of my liver! This is all very complicated and when I tried to explain it to my mom she said “Why do you need to be on these drugs at all.”!!! They’re the last two I can take per Pdoc and I feel like the only one who understands is my primary! My primary saw me on Saturday and called me on SUNDAY! She is worried! I’ve known her for 27 years so I trust her judgement!

ECT…. My primary doctor says it’s not a big deal and she has two patients on it now and they are doing very well. My biggest worry is who would drive me as my mother just thinks I should do x y and z instead of take medication! I can’t imagine her reaction to ECT. I guess I’m ok with it. I will have to have a more in depth conversation with my Pdoc about it when I see her next week.
