I can't win. The dr. called and had me come in first thing this morning. I am just now, at lunch, getting home. I had an EKG done, blood work, and a lot of poking and prodding! My bp is high, my heart IS skipping beats, and my head is STILL pounding. I came home OFF of Wellbutrin forever, and with an rx for pain meds (gee, six kids, how does one take pain meds when they knock you off your butt?!?!) and a new anti-anxiety/depression med (prozac this time since three of these type of drugs now have had adverse reactions with me, and prozac I took years ago with no problems! I sort of felt like it was overkill, since I am not depressed as much as just overwhelmed..but he said to not worry about being the dr!! ) I have a follow up in three weeks...and if there are any new symptoms, I am to head straight in. Since I am coming OFF the meds, though, he said that the symptoms should be all but gone in a day or two. Thank goodness. My dh was a paramedic for 12 years...and do you know that THREE times last night I woke up to him checking my pulse??!?!?! He has NEVER done that before! I think he was afraid I might not wake up this morning!!! (which scared me even more that HE was scared!) Anyhow, I am glad I listened to my gut and went in. Scary, scary, scary! Never assume that a medicine you have been on for a while is okay to continue to take, if you are having odd symptoms! Lesson learned...for me the hard way!
Answer:
I'm so glad that you caught this before it caused something more serious! I hope you feel better once it's out of your system, and you do well with your new med! Good thoughts and prayers . . .
Answer:
Oh my!! I am glad you got it figured out!
Answer:
I'm so thankful you went to the doctor. I hope Prozac does not bother you. I am on 40 mg. generic prozac. I started at 20 and then moved to 40 mg. I have been taking it for the last year.
Answer:
Oh My goodness! I'm glad you went to the DR. I hope you get to feeling more like yourself soon!
