Appointment went ok i guess

We talked with the nurse in the room for about an hour about me not wanting haldol again but my pdoc gave her reasons on why she thought I could benefit. That maybe my old doctor was giving me too much and that could have been adding to my psychosis. So she said 10 mgs at first then she wants to get me to 15 and that’s the highest she is willing to go.

I lost 10 pounds in a week, no idea. They checked on two different scales a digital and a another kind of scale. The nurse said it could have been the ativan but I don’t know.

The pdoc said she wants to see me in three weeks.

Has anyone on haldol ever heard of a slant lamp test? The nurse said the manufacturer of haldol recommended it be done at least once every year.

Slit lamp eye exam, I looked it up. Its a special microscope and camera that makes a 3D image of the eye. At my old eye doctor place they offered to do it before I was on haldol as part of an exam but Medicaid wouldn’t cover it so it would be an extra 50 USD.

What are they looking for with this test?

Problems with the eyes is all I know, I dont know much to be honest. According to my eye doctor they cant do the test until August first. Medicaid wont cover it otherwise
