You are welcome. I know my pdoc 'stikes the fear of god' in me when we decide on whaever is next. Hairloss, swollen glands, death, chucks of skin falling out....he is very graphic and of the meds I have tried, he goes slow, and I haven't had anything close to the catastrophic sideeffects. I understand it is all full disclosure and a big part for me is having confidence in my pdocs thinking process, talking with me about it and how we come to the decision, together, to try it.
Thanks for the response. I'm still too scared about hair loss, so I hope my pdoc can prescribe a different mood stabilizer. I now know that this is what I need, it's a question of which one I will feel most "comfortable" with in terms of side effects!
