I Just Reread The Response I Got Back From My Dr Yesterday He’s Trying To Tell Me That The Side Effects I’m Experiencing Have Nothing To Do

with either one of the prescriptions I’m on now which I have read over and over again on every single one that I get in the mail or online under Mayo Clinic or WebMD some of these are listed in the literature whether it’s more common rare less common and conscience or not know it pretty much gonna tell me that it may happen no matter what this also tells me that this doctor has no clue whatsoever. What the symptoms are that may happen.

You need a second opinion 💜

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I am sorry that you are having problems with your medications. It is a bear to get all the medications in line. I agree with what everyone else has said. Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you.

Quinn, I couldn’t understand why one doctor said it was ok to take a med that online said not to if I had a certain DX. A pharmacist dug deeper and was able to explain in terms I understood why the risk was extremely low and why it had to be listed. She took a lot of time and research to get the facts for me.
I agree you need a second opinion and need someone to answer your questions fully. There is still so much we don’t know about this condition. Neither does the medical community.

Quinn If it was me I would get a second option from a different neurologist. Go on the website and look for Neurologist in your area and check out their profile I know I've had problems with neurologist in the past myself the one I have now I have no complaints about him what so ever

I know your Dr should be ashamed of himself for allowing you to suffer like that. It is not ok the way some of these Drs are treating their patients they should lose their jobs. I'm sorry your going through this
