Finally got my blood drawn today.
As usual it’s difficult to get blood from my arms, so the phlebotomist drew some blood from my left hand.
I see my family doctor early next week.
It’s been a year since I last saw my family doctor.
My parents also have an appointment.
That sucks. The hands always hurt worse than the arms. Are you on Clozapine? 
I see my GP next week. I actually see the NP not the doctor. They do blood work every six months on me.
I had no problems from my last set of blood tests about a month or 2 ago. I hope you’ll be the same.
No I’m on risperidone and Depakote @GrayBear.
My Depakote levels also have to be checked.
Thanks @everhopeful 
Good luck @disciple, hope all goes well for you.
@Wave hey, I have to get my depakote levels checked too among other stuff that I’m not sure of the definitions of the abbreviations. When you get depakote levels checked, I was under the impression everyone has depakote levels and they just have to see what mine are. Are there ways they can see that I’m not consistent with the depakote, it’s seldom though?
Please discuss how to test for Depakote levels with your psychiatrist @Winterblues.
It’s usually tested every 6 months or so.
But it might make me wait a couple more weeks to get the blood work to show I’m compliant… I don’t want my new pdoc to get the wrong impression of me by mess ups
You guys on here can’t talk about it?
Your doctor has to order a Depakote test.
She did a week ago…
Sorry I don’t know anything about blood work, I’m out of the loop. I didn’t mean to interrogate you
I also went to get my blood works done today. It is to check for the anti-epileptic (Lamotragine) drug levels, cholesterol, blood glucose and some other stuff.
I hope your results are within the acceptable levels.
Thanks @anon18305065… I wish the same for you.
Thanks…
