UH, NO I CAN\'T STOP!
Well, peeps, hang on cause this will be a lulu! OK, neuro gave me two scripts one of which is COGENTIN and know my drugs, I knew what it was yada yada. My reg Dr since I had to stop my MIRAPEX put me on PROZAC to assist. Well, between the walking backwards in big circles, talking weird stories to my husband as I doze off. FOR EXAMPLE: He was watching tv and I kept telling him I wrote that letter. Of course he's going what letter? and I said THAT LETTER pointing to the guy talking on the tv.EXAMPLE: Again he was watching tv and I kept telling the people in the store as I hold up my huge frog by one leg, "THERE's NOTHING HERE TO FIT MY FROG. Yep, great meds. Now I've been on them 1 month and ready to explode like my insides are in earthquake mode and phone neuro and told them what's happening and I'm off both new meds. People I know I come off as crazy at times but when you start having fits in your sleep yelling about your frog's wardrobe it's time to change the meds. However, the frog was quite lovely and I kinda miss him. sniff sniff. May he rest in peace until they give me a new drug. LOL

I don\'t know I think you old uncle may have been on to something. Johnny Walker or Jim Beam may have truly been their best friends. After all they give alcohol to stop contractions whaen your PG.
Have they tried Lyrica? Just a thought.
Nan
LYRICA DANG GONE KILLED ME! I got a blister on my lip, I felt like I had an elephant on my chest, and a horrid cough. Oddly, the lady in the hospital bed next to my daughter (told her I wasn\'t contagious, just side effects) said LYRICA was the reason she was in the hospital. She collapsed. I QUIT ASAP
NAN - re: Johnny Walker, alcohol. I\'m not gonna go that route. One reason being there are really alcoholics in the ole family tree and with me LIKING THE TASTE, well, that would be like giving matches & gas to an arsonist, don\'t you think? LOL
Naw, I don\'t think so...I call it self medication when all else fails. You know the risks of alcoholism and you won\'t fall into that trap! Lyrica really makes me feel good (short term) I save it for thingslike family reunion or weddings, I get 6 hours of being totally without pain and I get balance and stability...it\'s like a miracle, that\'s how I know so much of what is wrong with me is neurological. Long term they took me off it makes me spacey and swollen.
My friend had a bad reaction to Lyrica that landed her in the hospital too. It\'s amazing how differently and wonderfully made we are, huh?
Today I am suffering from Combo\'s overload, I was too tired to cook and ate a bag and a half yesterday as my meals...not a good idea, *giggle*.
I need to go back to my good eating plan, now if I only could get the energy!
Nan
Good eating plan? ROFLOL I\'m on a liquid diet....one can of Coke in the left and a hot cup of coffee in the right. Oh, sure, I switch off and put the Coke in the right hand when I need a change. LOL
The meds I\'m on, I have NO DESIRE TO EAT but they make me soooooo thirsty.
Hugs & love Combo! Don\'t be too harsh, I splurged and ate too much chocolate. Ooops! More caffiene!
