I have a new pdoc...I loved him...not that I didn't and don't love my old pdoc...but its time for something new...
SOOOO, he made a few changes. Still on 400 mgs Lamictal, upping my Topamax again to 200-300 mgs slowly...MAY add only 300 mgs of Lithium again, we'll see later on about that...I'm starting Folic Acid, and Flaxseed Oil (get this 8-9 caps a day, and then even more in 2 weeks...) Says both of those are EXCELLENT for BP.
No a/ds...says that is my problem and has been for 4 years now...i knew this and agree 1000% with him.
He's going to start me on Thyroid supplements too probably, in a month or so, if I've not lost weight on the upped dose of Topamax. He says Thyroid probs and depression go hand in hand many times.
Anyway, he is very much into natural remedies ALONG WITH MEDS and I like that. He knows a LOT about BP and said my BP brain is like a fire...throw an a/d in there, and its like throwing fuel in the mix...and it explodes. He said that my case is severe, yes...and hard to treat, yes...but he loves challenges, and that I WILL BE STABLE.
So, I am really glad I went...
Love to all,
Keli
