Hi Group,
I've been silently lurking since I got this past cycle under control last spring. Lithium quit working, verapamil quit working, but when I tried them together I wound up with 8 pain-free months! Now the demon is breaking thru though, and he's doing it pretty regularly.
I'm maxed out on my dosages I think (480 mg verapamil plus 1500 mg lithium), so I want to discuss Topamax, Sansert, and Depakote with my doctor (prednisone is the last resort). I never saw the results of the Topamax study in Colorado -- can somebody brief me in? Sansert has worked for me on two cycles before, so it's worth a shot too. I have no data on Depakote except what I've seen on the board here.
Suggestions are welcome -- I take them all to my doc, so don't worry about killing me off with a wild idea.
Pain Free Days!!
Dave
