Thank you. Lately all I seem to have is worries, nightmares and deep depression.

Last month my phsychiastrist finally tok me off of the last deressing he had done. I don't know if this is part of it. He said he had just read a report that said amyitrptililyn ( which I have been on for more than one decade could be effecting loss of balance which I have. It is still here. Who knows whats going on. I see him again in about a week.. I have just lost 32 pounds and it could be effecting all my meds. Anticunvulsents and others. Thanks for the support Lonnie
 
Lonnie,

No worries about not replying. I don't, either, when I'm not feeling good.

I'm so glad you are going to see your neurologist. He can get this all sorted out for you. I'm hoping the loss of balance is temporary and will fix itself soon.

The meds can make you mixed up and depressed. Maybe a change in meds will help. That's why my neuro is switching me from trileptal, and giving lamictal another try.

Hang in there. It's going to get better soon. <<<hugs>>>
 
Thank you foor caring and your reply. My neurologist only wanted to see me six months after my last viit which is about 4 months away. It is my phsychatrist who changed my meds that I will see next week. Actually even before that visit my seizures themselves have been doing better only TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. THANK YOU FOR CARING THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH
