> My doctor also thinks I have blood sugar issues so he wants me to have that glucose tolerance test done, or whatever it's called. The last time I did that I passed out. But that's when I was pregnant so I just thought that was normal. My doctor said that could be causing some of my "fog" issues. Maybe that and my low blood pressure combined. I can only hope!

> brookeHi Brooke,
It would be good if it were the blood sugar thing (well, not really "good") but at least you'd have an answer and that's a condition can be fixed, right? I mean, they know how to address it. Unlike psychiatry, where we have to try so many drugs and combinations. I hope you find some solutions re: the blood sugar and blood pressure issues.
I did hear back from my insurance--they reversed their decision and approved the patch after much pestering from my doctor's office. I was greatly relieved. I will basically need to start my trial over back at day 1 since I was without the patch for 7 days.
I know it is hard trying to make these decisions of whether or not to discontinue a med. It can be so frustrating. I wish you the best during this hard time and please keep us posted.Roslynn
