Idea about posting med ritual?

[Guest guest]

Hi to everyone who responded! Thank you so much for allowing me into this

group. I've learned so much in the 8 digests I've received in 3 days alone.

I was pleased to realize that I *am not alone* out there when it comes to

having a hard time finding a diagnosis. I was starting to believe I was

faking it myself because I've been told by so many docs that nothing was

wrong with me.

I do have problems sleeping, and my rheumy wanted me to go off Klonopin

(which I took each night for sleep but the effects were wearing thin) and go

on Sonata. Has anyone taken that? I haven't filled the script yet because my

HMO doesn't pay for that one and it's kind of pricey. Hey I work but I don't

get paid much, and most of my money goes to drugs anyway... what a regimen I

have.

I have an idea... why don't we compare drug regimens? So many of us are on

so many different meds and I think it may be interesting to find out who

takes what, what has worked and what hasn't, etc. That would give me a whole

lot of education in case Rheumy wants to toss some new drugs my way... I'll

post mine here.

In the morning, I take:

Levoxyl for hypothyroid

1000 mg of Depakote (seizure disorder)

50 mg Paxil (depression.. rheumy said I cannot take Ultram while on this

med)

75 mg Voltaren (FM, arthritis)

Evenings, I take:

1000 mg Depakote,

birth control pill, and

75 mg Voltaren.

I also have Vicodin for those bad pain days, but it doesn't seem to work

well for me, so I don't know.

Have a great rest of the weekend! I'll be chatting with you guys sometime

tomorrow.
