  1. Recently, the VA changed part of my MH daily medication to lamotrigine (25mg). The first seven days I had to take a total of two 25 (mg)tablets. Then after the seven days I was told to increase to 4 tablets, which totaled 100 mg. After taking the 4 tablets along with a total of 300 mg of Seroquel, I was feeling a awkward so I decided to go and take a shower to cool off. When I got into the shower I felt a little dizzy, the room was spinning, and I felt like I was about to black out. I fell out of the shower and tried to brace my fall on the towel rack and hit my right hip on the edge of the toilet. The ambulance had to come and pick me up, and I suffered a contusion withing the hip area(currently on crutches). Any advice on how to add this as a secondary due to the medication? The doctor at the hospital did write in the notes that the side effects of this medication causes 54% of its patients dizziness, and that after my blood, and urine samples there was enough evidence to support that this medication caused me to black out. Now, I have been taking seroquel for of 8 months now and I have had no side effects from this. Thanks
  2. Well, funny thing in ebennies (benefits explorer) I am listed as a male..........and birth certificate list me as a female all my life......lol
  3. My friend have you been able to contact anyone at the vetcenter.........let me see If I can find a local helpline number to help you.
  4. Good glad to see your response .........a female AirForce Vet.........
  5. 82 airborne..........continue with your treatment and don't give up. You are a blessing to us.......and we are to you. There are plenty of folks here on Hadit who are suffering too.........we can relate....... and if you need to vent this is the place to release it.........................Please take care of yourself.
  6. I have also filed for a dependency claim. I am going on 8 months now and waithing. My original award date was in July/2012. The claim for dependency is showing in ebennies completion date 8/2013. Should I submit another VA form 21-686c?
  7. This link contains some good information. Thank you soo much.
  8. I just checked my benefits explorer on ebennies, and noticed that that area changed completely my percentage is the same which is 30%, but below that it states permanent and total. I have filed for increases in August of 2012 could this be good news? Or does this mean something else. Thanks for all the help. I love HAD IT!!!!!!!
  9. I have a question for you all. I am currently rated at 30% for depression (anxiety, panic attacks). Today I went to my MH doctor who is licensed as a psychiatrist/neurologist. He explained to me that he wanted to completely pull me from working. He said he feels that I should not be working at all. I know that I can't file for TDIU unless I am unemployed. If I am on Family Medical Leave Act and not recieving any pay is that considered not being employed. I would appreciate all the help and advice I can get on this. Respectfully,
  10. Thank you for the new information..........and boo hoo for the dependency claims being placed on the back burner.
  11. Wow, I have also applied for my dependency retro-pay. I have submitted all of the information needed like: Birth Certificates, Social security cards, marriage license, and divorce decree. I filed with the Atlanta RO in July 2012 and Ebennies stated that I should recieve a decision by March 2013. I never thought that a dependency claim with sufficient evidence could be denied.......what a bomber

    Don't give up ............keep on pushing............
  13. My personal opinion is that it is better to file now. Why wait later?.........There is still going to be a long wait no matter what. I filed a NOD with the ATlanta RO in June and I don't expect to hear anything until next year........
