Anyone been on zyprexa (olanzapine) and seroquel (quetiapine) at the same time. I think my doc wants me on that but have never heard of anyone ever being on that combo

I mean they are in the same family. I worry they might not know I am on seroquel. Think I might phone my nurse on monday

That’s a good idea

Link up with GP too if on meds from them

People don’t seem to have a full picture

Like the gastrointestinal meds the GP gave me flushed clozapine out my system

Pdoc didn’t realise until I told, after I had already told them some months before

Can you ask for a full meds review?

In my opinion these don’t happen nearly enough, and only when something goes drastically wrong

Hope you can sort this

Really sucks when meds are up in the air

What happens in a med review? Dont think I have ever had one of those

It’s where they go through all your meds to make sure there’s no bad interactions or side effects and adjust them based on feedback etc

They used to do them here every 6 months but seems to be an as needed thing these days

But if like me you have the GP and mental health prescribing different things it’s useful for someone to evaluate what’s going on

Hope you can get something like that

A meds review is an excellent idea! My pdoc and physical doc don’t communicate with each other, so getting a meds review every so often seems like it makes a lot of good sense.
