I hope your stomach has settled a little now @outlander, have you tried the antacids?

Here's hoping they help @outlander (crosses fingers), when do you see the Doctor/Nurse next? I know your sick of seeing them and you've seen them so many times already; but each time you see them a bit more of the picture is revealed (so to speak), and I would think if the problem worsens, they wouldn't make you wait 2 weeks to change something.

I see them both on tuesday morning @Former-Member
I cant just stop and change meds. My psychiatrist explained that just stopping such a high dose can cause more side effects unwanted ones at that and in a sense can actually make me worse so i have to decreasr over 6 weeks if these ones dont work.
And the antacids are friggin huge and i cant break them as they are capsules so i dont think ill be taking them 😞
Ill have to get a pharmacy brand or something of they let me
Ive taken a paracetamol or my major headache as well so maybe itll work for my stomach as well

If you can remember it @outlander, tell them about the capsules being to big, they may know of a better alternative for you. I have heard of the weening off thing, I wasn't very good with it myself and remember getting really quite ill after I decided one medication was doing more harm than good - so listen to your Doctor, and draw upon your own very good knowledge 🙂 Hope the Paracetamol helps, would Yoghurt be any good to you?

@outlander - take the capsules with yoghurt. They will slide down better than a thinner fluid.
