Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Lori, I'm not clear what you are asking. You are working with a doc to cut the dose so I'm not sure why you are resistant to cut the dose given that it seems you have a bad reaction to the E. I'm obviously missing something. Have you used P at all? Now that I've gotten far away from the WP I find there are times when I really need P. I hope you put in a call to your doc.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Laurel- thank you for replying. I was basically questioning the doctor ( what I seem to do best) but she has been right... I haven't tried p in a few months because I get so depressed with migraines when I take it. Dr Vliet told me I didn't need to use it since I had an ablation... There are so many different opinions on that issue... I am still working with my doc & doing what she has asked.. All I can do is try it and see if it works.
