Better than nothing I guess

So my buddy has been getting horrible headaches since starting his new meds. Well today they did a med evaluation. He told them about the headache and they basically said he needs to give the medicine more time for him to adjust. It's only been a few weeks. Right at the concern of the drugs we're making him feel very lethargic and out of it, and the times he just kind of spaces off still. They also said he needs to drink more water and that will help. But they finally gave him a prescription Zolmitriptan.

I am so glad they finally did this. I was hoping they would look into why the depression meds were giving him such severe headaches in the evenings but they said that they won't make any changes for at least two to four more weeks.

But this is better than nothing. And we know it works for him because he's been using mine.

So we'll take it.

I went through similarly close side effects when I first started with Pristiq. Doc scripted Rizatriptan for the rest of the month to help with the side effects. They helped a lot.

@Levenrack I really think the head doctor that is over seeing the program thinks he's had drug addict and he's drug seeking because he OD'd on my heart pills. Like I said I'm no expert but I don't think drugs seeking addicts OD on heart pills to get a high. But I'm just glad they finally gave them a prescription to help with his headaches.

@Cigarguy yeah no kidding. I'm glad he's still in it, to win it, mode. Fantastic!

@Levenrack this is the only issue he's been having. He's determined to finish the program and keep getting the help he needs
