CYP2D6.
So, a while ago I called the Dr.'s office trying to get ahold of my doctor. He's out for the week. I wanted to see if I could get on a lower dose of Strattera as it's making me kind of crazy. Crazy in I'm so euphoric I love you all way, and a I'm so tired I want to just sleep kind of way, all nicely splitting my day up into 2 disparate parts.
I talked to the receptionist who took down my information and my problems and what I wanted to do and she said she'd run it by the doctor who is covering for mine today. I hope he makes a call back. Well he will. I just hope he does and I can talk to him. I don't like talking to other people, and I especially do not like talking to other doctors about my medical problems and trying to explain to them. So, yeah, I was figuring that with 2 P450 enzyme inhibitors, Cymbalta being a moderate CYP2D6 pathway inhibitor and Strattera using the same metabolic pathway that I'm having some warfare going on in my liver or possibly my brain for norepineprine causing me to have alternating moods. So, could I get a lower dose until I get to see my doctor next month? How do I tell that to someone I've never talked to, and who will just look at me (if they could) like a bumbling fool.
I guess I will see what happens.
