Just got back from the Drs. My B/P is 117/60. I am thrilled about being able to stop a med. and actually 2meds as up until last Dec. I took 2 meds to control my B/P.

The NP recommended me to have the Pharmacist come in. I told him all the symptoms I've been having and what I did as far as lowering my doses. I also told him about the NP at behavioral health raised my neurontin from 300mg/day to 900. He said that was likely the cause of my symtoms and he said that weaning myself off and starting over with a new Psychiatrist was the right think to do.

I am an educated RN and I worry myself sick over the uneducated or the educated but not in healthcare people as they have to maneuver through the system where so many mistakes are made. I wouldn't work today as a nurse no matter how much they paid me.
