I have two doctors I see on a regular basis. A Psychiatrist which prescribes me my meds based on my depression and bi-polar needs, and I also see a Primary Care Doctor. I was recently hospitalized for several days and the doctor in the hospital added a new medication called Soma and I think the generic version of that is Carisoprodol. My question is which I believe this is a muscle relaxer. Which one of my doctors should I talk to about continuing this medication and for them to prescribe it? Would it be something a Psych Doc Would more likely prescribe or a family care doctor?
Chosen Answer:
I took Paxil for depression years ago and had horrible side effects when my body started to reject the drug. I didn’t eat or sleep for a week straight! Now there is a commercial on TV that talks about how there is a huge lawsuit against the drug company that made Paxil. Women who were pregnant and took Paxil were having baby’s born with birth defects.
Do your own research and NEVER take a doctors word for it and follow blindly. This is your life, your body, and your health. NO ONE is more of an expert than YOU =)
