Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 Hi all, Just visited my pain yesterday. Well, not a fruitful one as I had hoped.. He sat there cracking his brains to see there is anything he could do for me. He did not do a block as the previous one got me real sick. He then flipped through his favourite drug reference book [by the way, this is a US book, and we are in Singapore -He is an American] and finally wanted me to try Lithium carbonate, Escalith] 300mg, saying that if the blocks work on me, this should too. [it's an anti-psychotic, but I read it is used for some headaches too.] I brought the prescription to the pharmacy and meet with another problem there. The pharmacy does not Escalith, but they have Lithium carbonate, at 250mg. Afer waiting for some time for the pharmacist to speak to the doc, I finally got the lithium. The joke is, I am now feeling like a walking a zombie, feeling crappy, giddy, feverish and having nausea. This really kicks me off the confidence I have in medications.
