Has he read the list of possible side effects? Has he taken it? Did he answer my question? No!

Don't get me wrong he is a really good doc, however he is also very good at not answering my questions. So annoying.

//////////////Have you seen the list of side effects on a box of headache tabs. He must get that question 20 times a day, no one knows how long side effects last.

Donut,

you know those migraines.....that was my side effect with almost every AD I was put on. Never had headaches before I was put on AD's. So now even though refuse to take any AD's at all, I end up with 24/7 migraines that won't go away.....so now I'm on pain medication because there was nothing that would touch the migraines including the neck fusion they determined would help. Doubt that I would have had the migraines if it hadn't been triggered at the beginning by the AD's & probably my stupidity of all the OD's I did on them (probably didn't help either). Was taking compozine along with another AD & ended up having parkinson's like reaction to that......side effects stink.....I can truly relate to what you are experiencing. I never bothered to try to wait out the side effects because they were too much for me to tolerate. Hated having to get stuck in the hospital every time they tried a change because they didn't know how bad I would react to the med.

Hope you can find a solution.

Sorry to hear of your problems. I know how you feel, my pdoc insists I take certain meds because that is what the drug companies push. I just simply stop taking it and refuse it so he has no choice but to put me on something else
