So sorry you are still having a tough time. Rant away, we might not be able to help with your situation but we can listen and support you that way. I know you have tried all the meds with nothing helping you.

Thank you Elisse . strange how we all have a rant in the early hours when there's no one about to voice it lol most probs tired of hearing about it anyway specially when no one knows what your on about . aye hopefully one day i'll get some meds that will actually work even tried telling the neuro it could be a combo of meds but he don't listen thinking he knows best hhhaahahaaaaa! he's deffo going to get an ear full when i see him Thursday .

[Hidden in reply to gypsy49]

So have you never been allowed to try a combination of meds, ? That MIGHT be the answer for you, alot of us take more than one med, its even recommended by Dr. B . That is a shame you havent been allowed to at least try a combination, even if it rules it out for working.
