Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Always an adventure trying to talk through busy nurses to busy doctors. I tried to reach my doctor Tuesday about my increased itching and got a nurse who I usually like and who last was the only to return my call -- she was the one who said she had spoken with the doctor about increasing my zoloft dose for the itching. I still hadn't heard back this week so I called again this morning and the message had never gotten through, but another nurse who doesn't know me as well was nice and obsessive about getting all the details right. After her struggles contacting various doctors and finally getting to my doctor who was out for the day, he is surprised by the dose of zoloft and doesn't understand how I could have been told to take that dose (didn't seem that high to me at 100mg/day) and wants me to start decreasing that. We're going to get new labs and go back to rifampin before trying anything else. I'm frustrated by the miscommunication about the zoloft, but I know it happens. I'm frustrated because I know that it's hard for me to come off of zoloft -- even moving from 50mg to 25mg I had dizziness and the weird feelings of that change. I hope this change goes easily... Until later.... Philip PSC 94, UC 08; cirrhotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
