Title: should I be tested?
Post by inyoureye on Sep 3^rd, 2006, 4:27pm

I was reading in another post involving depakote and the poster was commenting about liver blood counts being dangerously high,etc.
I currently use Trex , O2, and topomax. Should I be having certain things monitored being on these drugs or am I cool?

Thanks

Hello, I thought by now some of the older members would have replied by now. I only took the topamax for about a week and my doc never told me to have any blood work done, but it couldn't hurt, maybe your wallet.
I am on depakote now and my doc said to come back in 2 weeks. Didn't say for blood work, but we'll see. Needles don't scare me, or I wouldn't be able to do the trex.
Call your doc and remind him you are the one making his boat payment!
