I'm sorry...I didn't know you didn't like to be singled out..I just rolling on the board and figure this is a good way to check in...I'll try to remember...but can't promise.


I would make sure and tell both doctors what is going on.

it's so embarrasing because my pdoc is a guy, and i've also been complaining about depakote ever since he put me on it. i HATE the stuff.

bethie,

i hope you got my email the other night re this subject...but your first priority is your physical health...if the depakote is causing this (i did the google thing btw and you are so on target), you need OFF IT! Tell pdoc TOMORROW you are very concerned and want to temporarily stop the depa until you have this straightened out with your GYN. Also tell him that if it IS pcos you will NOT be taking the depa anymore...you're on so many other mood stabilizers and your depa levels are already low enough, you shouldn't feel much different off the depakote...but that's my opinion.

I know it sucks to have to tell pdoc this, cuz he's a man, but you have no choice and you have to be firm...you know how they (pdoc/tdoc) like to control things...

Lemme know how it goes and if you need me, you know how to reach me...

I love you,

Keli

This is a wonderful support system..its what we are here for...not to judge, not to preach...to understand, to let you vent, to help one another.


I hear ya about talking to men...any doctor.
