verap/lith combo (again)

It's working for me!!! Only 2 major hits in the last couple weeks. Shadows every day, but that I can deal with a lot better! Now if I could just get the chronic headache to lower itself down a tad, things would be lovely.  So much easier to deal with it though without getting hit right and left.
My neuro may send me for a sleep study because I never sleep. Maybe that would make it a "lack of sleep" study? LOL He's starting me on Requip now, and maybe remeron in a week, but we'll see. I'm getting off the horrid tricyclics. :O)
I have never known what it is like to have a preventive help me before. This truly is a Godsend...I'm so grateful for all you guys for sharing your experiences so it gives us ideas of things to try!!
Hugz,
Lizzie

Lizzie,
That is really great news. I know I wish it had all happened sooner, but finally getting results like this, at this important time for you, has been a real blessing.
So glad to hear, thanks for the good report card kiddo.

ty ty It has been a blessing, to say the least!!
Jonny, I got my first blood tests at 2 weeks on the med, and my neuro said the levels "were within the acceptable range." He didn't order blood work this time around, but I go back pretty frequently, so we'll keep on top of it! He's really good about that.
Thanks all! Hugs,
Lizzie

Yeah, they do the first test between two and three weeks cause it takes awhile to get into the system, I guess they want to see the first reaction to your organs.
Man!, I sure hope it works as long for you as it has for me........Damn shit saved my life.

Awesome news Lizzie! I wish I could say the same. The combo hasn't helped at all yet. I will be pushing for a dosage increase soon!

Lizzie,
Watch out when you start that Remeron, the first two weeks can be hell, Isn't there something else they can try.

Remeron did nothing for me. No side effects either.

This is wonderful news!! Another success story for Verap and Lithium. I have been nearly 6 months pain free now on the combo, which is a miracle for me.
I was getting hit 2 or 3 times eveyday before this.
YAHOOOOOOOOOOO
