Well I just got off the telehealth session with my pdoc. We decided it is in my best interest to stop Vraylar. I have already gone down from 4.5mg to 3mg. My pdoc says I can go down to 1.5mg for 7 days then stop.
We also are increasing my Geodon from 80mg to 120mg a day. We are going to do 40mg am and 80mg pm
My pdoc wants me to stop tapering down on my Loxapine and stay at 10mg for now which is unfortunate but I am going to be patient. My pdoc thinks I can eventually get off it just need to stop where we are for now. She also said she agrees with me that I can most likely get off of benztropine and Ingrezza in the future.
I also expressed my desire to get on the most affordable medication on the market because of the possibility of me moving out of state and losing insurance. I think Geodon, Lithium, Welbutrin… all of those are pretty affordable with GoodRX if needed.
Overall I am glad my pdoc is listening to my desires. I see her again on the 27th of this month so she can check in. I am super glad I have a pdoc who is attentive and can see me regularly during med changes.. And my copay for pdoc is only $20 which is a huge blessing.
