Meds

Trying to decide if I should reduce my meds.  I have been on Zoloft since I found out about the dystonia as well as dealing with depression from not being able to have kids. That's been almost 2 years ago. I'm considering going off. My doctor and I agreed that it was for situational only. Also trying to decide if the Gabapentin is working or not. My Movement Specialist that prescribed it is out on a medical emergency and might not return. I go for my botox this week with my neurologist, so we'll discuss it then.

I'm just tired of being on so much medicine. Meds are not the end all for this. It comes from a stat of mind too. So, I am going to get in shape a little better and try to drop some weight. I think it will help my lower back too. ;)

Gabapentin (Neurontin) Update

So, I have been on the full prescription of Gabapentin (Neurontin) now for a little over a week. So far, can't say I've noticed anything noticeably different. But, the doctor might need to increase the dose even more. However, I am having a hard time getting the doctor's office to call back. Dang! As soon as we get this situated, I'm not sticking with him other than checkups. Glad I didn't switch to him for the Botox. Eh:(
I have decided that I am going to start my workouts again Feb 1st. I need to strengthen my back. The lower back is causing me so many problems.
