> Larry, is it okay if I give you a hug? (((Larry)))
Absolutely okay. Thanks.
> You are such a special and amazing person and I hate to see you suffer like this.
Watch, or you make me cry. (good cry)
> That is one long list of side effects for Topomax! Are you prone to getting more side effects than most people, or was this med just not for you?
Some people just are very med sensitive. I am very clearly med sensitive. This med particularly disturbed me. The loss of thermoregulatory capacity (that last side effect in my list) is very serious indeed.
> Like I said I hate Topomax. It gave me a wicked UTI, my face and back broke out with the worse acne I have ever had in my life. But I think going psychotic is what did me in. Then another doctor wanted me try it and I told him what happened the last time I took it. His response? "Well that's because you probably didn't titrate it properly". So I actually took it again (this was several years ago before I learned how to stand up to pdoc). Well guess what? I WENT PSYCHOTIC! *sshole.
Ya. Geez. Like it was your fault. I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sorry you trusted that *sshole. I'm sorry he betrayed your trust. I'm sorry he got his medical license.

> Take care,
> MaximeI was wondering how you knew that. I couldn't find anything on the Health Canada website. You can't get samples until it's approved, though. The only way you can get a drug that isn't approved is upon special application to the feds. I'm not going to even think about that sort of thing until I've worked my way through the list of available, reasonable options.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
