> I thinking stopping most of the meds and just having a washout period is a very good idea fb. SO when you pick an AD or pain med to start back you can be sure that the effects, whether positive or negative, are not due to the tail-end of some other med withdrawal. You doctor sounds like a really good one if he's willing to treat you as a unique human and use all his analytic powers to study
your case and come up with a solution, instead of slapping a bunch of labels on you and prescribing according to a
textbook. You shoul definitely hang on to him/her.
Yes. He's a keeper. I see him today. He's old enough to have seen trends come and go, and also to outlive his medical school indoctrination ;)>
> amitriptyline at night when you resume meds still has my vote if you're experiencing depression, insomnia, fibromyaglia and other neuropathic painThanks hp. That one keeps coming up. My pdoc hesitates on it because he says the sides would be difficult for me. A recent mini-test of doxepin from my gp was sobering. I felt awful, though I
aborted after only two days, not allowing myself to stabilize on it. My pdoc just chided me and said please, please,
please act in tandem with him.Thanks for weighing in. It's crazy, really. I need meds--or something-- but need to be very careful. More now than when younger. Of course, if I had been careful
then.(If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.)
Are you taking good care?
