Hello again, @rmce72a,

I can tell that you are working on finding an answer. I'm pleased that you are advocating for yourself in this way. From what you've said in this most recent post, it sounds as if you have had the gene test to determine what meds would be the best. That's just great.

Have you considered talking with a pharmacist? I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hi Teresa. With all due respect I have never had any luck with pharmacists.I live in a large city, I’ve talked to pharmacists at all the large chains from time to time. I can ask about antibiotics, muscle relaxers, etc. they all seem knowledgeable. Start getting into the Benzos and antidepressants and they’re pretty much clueless especially when it comes to tapering. They seem to just refer me back to the doctor. Maybe they just don’t want to get involved in the messes the doctors have created for us? This may not be everyone’s experience but it has definitely been mine.
