WOAH!!! seriously???

so katie went and filled this prescription for imitrex for me and i don't think i'll be taking this right now ~ or EVER for that matter! (idk... maybe...)

first off, it was expensive as hell.

secondly, it says "it is best to inject a dose of this medicine as soon as you notice symptoms of a migraine attack." and well, today marks the 15th day of this damn "attack".

and finally, under the list of possible side effects in big, bold letters it says RARELY, VISION LOSS AND BLINDNESS, SOMETIMES PERMANENT, HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH USE OF THIS MEDICINE. IF YOU EXPERIENCE UNUSUAL VISION CHANGES OR VISION LOSS, CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.

wtf???

so, i think i'll just wait until the 2nd and confer with the neurologist. oh, and i also called my former pcp (since my new pcp doesn't work on fridays and since my former pcp isn't aware that he's no longer my pcp, lol!) and requested that he call in a prescription for some compazine suppositories for the nausea. cross your fingers that he'll call that in for me very very soon because the nausea is what's really getting me down at the moment. (and yes, obviously, I STILL HAVE A MIGRAINE!)
