[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 294796, member: 1514"] Capsule...no can do. Sigh. We started it back before I got sick and I cant remember what dose I was on or what it was doing for me or to me. I dont think I was on it very long back then. I really dont have much memory of the fall at all. All my medication bottles from October got taken to the hospital and never returned to me so I cant even tell from that what I was taking or if I had even titrated up fully then. I know that eventually in the rehab hospital they were giving it to me round the clock and I was a complete zombie and I think that is one of the reasons I felt so bad during part of the time I was there. I was constantly extremely sleepy. Well...ummm...they had pulled me off all my medications cold turkey then wham bam, threw me back on them without titrating me up again. I was a literal mess. Just imagine...you are supposed to wean off of topamax and lamictal to avoid seizures but then again you need to titrate up on them to get back up to full dosage slowly. They just abruptly stopped my medications when I went in the hospital. I seized numerous times. Then eventually when they figured out why I seized, they threw me back on my medications but not until I could swallow I dont believe. I remember them crushing them in some sort of liquid. Ick! But they put me back on them at full strength! [/QUOTE]
