My visit to pdoc today

Went to my pdoc today. Was better than last time - although she was late again, I was the first in four people to see her and the session went better than last time.

I had more time to discuss some things like why the hospital said I have anxiety disorder diagnosis and not sza or sz. She said she thinks it’s probably because anxiety was part of my profile of symptoms and doesn’t know why they settled on that.

She also confirmed with me my diagnosis of schizoaffective.

She didn’t change my meds, she wants to give the haloperidol a chance for another month. I had a blood test done for prolactin levels again, so next time I go (three weeks time) the results will show if haloperidol affected the prolactin or not.

Depending on my symptoms and side effects in the next few weeks, we will see if the haloperidol is worth continuing or not. If it’s not then I’ll maybe try olanzapine again. But I doubt I’d be able to come completely off the amisulpride.

It seems like I need a mix of two antipsychotics instead of one. Plus mood stabilizer and antidepressant.
(Wow a lot of meds lol! :laughing:)

Hoping the next few weeks will be ok and that meds work! :sunflower:

To all who supported me in my struggles these last few weeks and more - thank you! :hugs::hugs::hugs:
