Title: Atacand Revisited
Post by Gator on Nov 11^th, 2005, 5:00pm

Well, the atacand experiment seems to be a bust. Been taking it for about 5 weeks now. Started at 16mg for two weeks, then up to 32mg, which is the limit prescribed by the neuro, for three weeks now - notta.

I think part of it is just that it's that time of year. Head's been ramping up and the sleep has been less and less since late October. Had a worse night than I've had in some time a couple nights ago. Normally 1/2 a shot of trex will kill an attack in about 5 minutes. This time the beast laughed at a full shot. Nothing worked. O2, trex, ice pack, pacing the yard in the cold night air in my underwear, standing ankle deep in a very cold swimming pool that is being drained - nothing. A little over two hours later, sumbich finally let go of me only to come back and play three more times that night. Then the usual daytimes hits on top the next day. And to think, I used to love Autumn.

You gave it a try and it had it's opportunity to do something for you, assuming that is suppose to be an effective level, I don't know. Mike stay strong man. Hoping your search finds it's mark soon and beats it back.
