Oh you must be a wreck!!! And searching the web only makes it worse... I know... whenI started Topamzx and Wellbutrin for my Migraine Prevention I found out it was also used in the same dosage and combination to treat bipolar disorder! I freaked out! Its really an anti-seizure Medication... Anyway... Reducing is always tough... and I agree, 4 at once seems harsh, but so is one! Its hard to do any of it!!! Just Pray as I will for her that her Doctor knows whats best and keep a close eye on her! Thats all you can do!
Don't read too much online, you'll drive yourself nuts!!! I'll tell you.. dealing with these stupid kidney stones the last few weeks... I have been awful with taking my two doses a day... I have been more like one a day... I have pretty much cut my own meds in half purely by my own forgetfulness brought on by the pain meds, and now I'm just out of my routine... I've been edgy, Confused, Absolutely zero attention span... I am a mess... Totally overwhelmed by very simple tasks.. and I know its cause I have totally messed up the balance in my system.... and its not like I forget the same dose... Its the am or the pm... who knows??? Today I took the AM dose twice! 20 mins apart!!! Not good!
*Hubby will be setting the alarms on my cell phone in the am for me.... I told him tonight that I was having a very hard time... (He said her knew but was not going to bring it up... Its that week....
He was not risking life and limb to point it out! lol ) So I should be back on track soon enough....
But its icky... Hopefully her reduction is much smaller... I'm sure it is... Topamax is a tough one to come off of... But every BODY is different!!! Don't freak your self out reading crap online!!!! I did it for way to many late nights!!!! Its all I can do not to research the heck out of these Moon Stone things my Kidneys seem to be spitting out like Popcorn! ugh! but I just know I'd be eating kelp and bathing in apple cider viniger, and chewing on whole garlic cloves by next week if I did!!! lol
Just know that we are all here for you.. And you can come and type away all of your fears any time you want!!!! We'll listen!!! And Pray with you always!!!!
