I got my anti-seizure meds yesterday, and woo-ee those listed side effects are enough to make any grown man yell uncle! After all the terrible possibilities listed, there in the fine print it says, "Your doctor has prescribed this medication because he has determined that the benefits outweigh the risks." Y'all, pray that if I do take this, the benefits truly do outweigh the risks! In three different places in my paperwork and on the bottle itself, it warns that a potential side effect is "suicidal attempts." Not a good thing for anyone, much less for someone with a history of suicidal thoughts and plans.
Praises:
-several friends have reached out with encouragement this weekend
-the rest of this week has nothing planned (until Saturday ) so I can relax and recharge
Prayer requests:
-EEG on the 12th--for my side to go numb so they can for sure know if this medication would even provide any benefit at all
-wisdom about taking this medication if electrical charges are noted
