Hi-

*Note-The earliest pdoc appointment I can obtain within a 30 mile radius of my house is January 2014. all other practices are not taking new patients.

Re-entered the search for psych meds as I KNOW I need them for my various diagnoses...it dawned on me...The GP and PA I recently saw were mentioning names ( especially the GP) very quickly, switching back & forth between the generic and name brand. I have a medical background and have tried several ADs before....It was like being in a candly store. There was very little guidance, especially when she started to mention the mood stabilzers & anti seizure meds.

Is this common? Not that I left w/the Rx I wanted to try...I left w/ a zoloft script for depression and trazodone for sleep. The PA faxed an RX of 7 tablets of Wellbutrin SR 100mg, instead of giving me a paper RX.

I wanted to try topomax, as I do experience killer migraines, I figured why not try something new? Maybe this will help both issues.

I guess I should compile a list of previously tried meds and their side effects and just hand it to the next prescriber I see.

I am glad to be on this site to research the meds.

Thanks.

Hi Kirby 777,

It's nice to meet you. My mom was taking Topomax for her migraine head aches. She said it stopped working after a couple month's. Now she takes Gabapentin. It's helping with the headaches.

I take Trazadone 300mg at night. One hour before bedtime. It helps me. I also take 0.5 mg of Clonazepam. I hope this has helped you. Work with the pdoc, and he may come up with the perfect combination of meds.

Thanks Piraeus-

The GP was stating using Topomax for my depression/mood. I thought well, I could try this and it helps w/ my migraines, great. The Pa mentioned Gabapentin....I have tried this for pain and it made me feel "high", and she said, "isn't it better to feel high vs depressed?". I guess it does. I was just taken back by all of the different meds menitioned in a rapid fire sequence.
