Re: Dilemma I have about my drugs

<< Have you ever tried making a graph or chart with which symptoms have
responded to various treatments and which were made worse? It seems like you have dealt with an overwhelming number of reactuions and side effects. Maybe if you had some way to quantify them and correlate them, you might be able to find a pattern to shed some insiget into the situation. I am pretty much talking out my ass now, but it just occurred to me that there may be some forest here that might be missed for all the damn trees. Sometimes when you take stuff like this and display it in a visual way that you don't normally use, you get a change in perspective that shows you stuff you've overlooked. And sometimes not, but it may be worth a try. At the very least it will give you some sort of basis for making decisions as to which priorites you can actually accomplish with the least amount of bad reactions. What do you think? ------------------------------------------------- No, Ive never tried making a chart like that. Although Ive thought of making something like it in the past. My problems with polypharmacy are so severe and across the board that its a given that it will cause problems, so I dont know if graphing it will help. Maybe it would, I dont know. All I know is that there are only two classes of drugs I can successfully mix with an antidepressant. Benzos (klonopin) and parkinsons drugs such as amantadine, benadryl, cogentin, other dopamine agonists, etc. That is significant, as all those drugs have one thing in common...they are muscle drugs and I do have a lot of muscle type symptomology. And my problems originally started years ago when taking low dose risperdal in combo with Remeron. Ever since then Ive had major major troubles tolerating medication combos except for the ones mentioned. Maybe graphing it wouldnt be a bad idea though...but have to be careful that I dont go overboard...some Pdocs would think that was pretty weird and might label you as "obsessed" doing something like that. But, WTF they already think Im messed up. Eric "Except that their society is more highly evolved. They dont have no wars, they got no monetary system.

Or, maybe an entirely different class might help. I did not expect Claritin to help with the cognitive impairment from the Pamelor... I am still not 100% sure that was what it was, but the timing sure makes me wonder. So, who knows. You might just hit upon some quirky combo that does the trick. Hang in there and keep trying. I am rooting for you. >Maybe graphing it wouldnt be a bad idea though...but have to be careful that I >dont go overboard...some Pdocs would think that was pretty weird and might >label you as "obsessed" doing something like that. But, WTF they already think >Im messed up. > Who knows, maybe they wouldn't find it all that strange. After all, it is a proactive approach to make sure that you don't keep repeating problems in the past and it is also documentation of what you have already tried... Besides, a pdoc that jumps to conclusions that easily really isn't a good choice for you. Hey.. It could be a screening tool. ;-) Lucida >Eric > >"Except that their society is more highly evolved.
