TOO FREAKING FUNNY!!!!
OK, saw neuro, told him the KLONOPIN stopped all jerks but made me evil. So he said he'd add a new drug to take out my evil side effects. Thought great. Then he mentioned wanting to do TPI's in my neck! I said, "Uh, can't we just take another pill?" He said "No as this would prove if it were in my spine vs brain. My question is if the pills work, doesn't that PROVE it's in the brain? And even if not, WHO CARES? Geez! Needles stuck in my neck I just have a vision of Frankenstien! ROFLOL But here's the hysterical part, the new med is LAMICTAL (lah-MICK-tall). NOW THESE ARE THE CAUTIONS ACTUALLY FROM MY MEDICINE INSERT and I about died laughing. Like I don't have enough health issues/concerns! Patients prescribed LAMICTAL have sometimes been given the wrong medicine in error because many medicine have names similar to LAMICTAL. Check the tables you receive against the pictures of the tablets below. The pictures show actual tablet shape and size and the wording describes the color and printing that is on each strength of LAMICTAL. (So, like now I have to play pharmacist?) Occasionally, the symptoms of depression or biopolar disorder may include thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide (I do NOT have this problem so the pill will possibly help me get it?). Tell your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital if you have any distressing thoughts or experiences during this initial period or at any other time. (Does this include when I have to reconcile my bank statement and pay bills?) Common side effects with LAMICTAL include dizziness, headache, blurred or double vision, lack of coordination, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and rash. NOW PEEPS, I already have constant headaches (on meds for that!), lack of coordination (on meds for that!), insomnia (on meds for that!), and I'm paying for a pill to help me HOW? Thank God I go to see my sis's neuro April 4 and maybe he can definatively diagnose the PKD as she has. I will need to quit all meds for min. 24 hrs. so wish me luck! SHEEZ! Thank God for good meds! ROFLOL
