Hello....

Well, I phoned the doctor's office and he changed the prescription. Instead of taking the timed-release version, I am now to take it twice daily. It seems that my stapled stomach makes it impossible for me to take timed-release meds of any kind.

This was not just a simple fatigue. This was a disabling grogginess, akin to taking a massive dose of tranquilizers or sedatives, that would cause me to nearly fall asleep at work or while driving, that only seemed to be getting worse as time went by. The closest thing I can relate it to was taking a 50mg shot of Demerol, as I have had to do occasionally due to severe migraines. I had two nurses who strongly urged me to call my doctor about the problem. Hopefully, this change will help.
