I had a doctors visit today that turned out great. My previous b***h of a doctor had quit, so I got to see a different one.
This guy was great. He listened to me and asked me how I would like to proceed. I said I wanted Latuda, to which he replied that he had to check with his boss, but that he would try. If things take a different turn, we decided that we would try a combination of Risperidone and a tiny dose of Abilify (just to counter the prolactine increase I get from Risperidone).
I was psychotic for a while, which is why I didn’t post for so long, but the voices are gone now and I can leave the house again. I am taking Olanzapine, but the effect isn’t good enough on my dose, and increasing it would mean even more weight gain.
The pdoc said that I seem to have post-psychotic negative symptoms and that he hopes they will pass, but that we also need to get me better meds. I do have some negative symptoms usually, but this is way worse.
I sleep better now. Not perfect, but better. I don’t think I will be able to sleep tonight though.
It is nice to be back. Hugs to you all!
