Re: Rebecca's problem, I can't offer much advice, and I do agree that meds should not be changed in any significant way without checking with her neuro. I DO think she should be able to do that without waiting for an appointment, though ....does he/she take phone or email messages? perhaps through a nurse? Has she tried that? Sorry not to be more helpful.
