She wants me on 4 meds but we're starting with just abilify and Lamictal. I see her in three weeks. She wants me to replace Mt. Dew with Gatorade. So I have to find a Gatorade I like. She was very understanding that I didn't want medication but told me I would be on at least 4. it's hard to understand her accent but I really felt she listened to me. She didn't have my chart though my therapist had it so they got into a little fight in front of us after. Pnurse is a ***** to t. They have to order a medication so I won't start meds until tomorrow. She wanted me to jump on 100 MG. Lamictal tonight. I told her not we're starting with 25mg because I don't want the rash.

I'm glad my pdoc started me on the lowest dose possible for Lamictal. I'm now up to 100mg per day.

It sounds like you made some compromises and that things went mostly well. I'm sorry you cannot understand her. I don't think I could handle a doctor I couldn't understand. It would make me nutty.

You at least have a plan now...things can hopefully get better. (((Hugs)))
