Pdoc appointment went ok

She listened to me for about 45 minute. She and my case manager just listened. Then the pdoc asked questions like what was my depression at? My anxiety, was high too. She prescribed abilify, a low dose at first then after 72 hours lower the haldol and raise the abilify.

She said the abilify is a last ditch effort if it doesn’t work then we will look into genosight testing. My worries is what if I’ve already tried the med that genosight testing recommends

Is this a med change or as a antidepressants adjunct?
That’s cool they just listening for that long. I had cbt today it went well

Glad the cbt went well for you. It’s a med change. I also take a very high dose of latuda

That’s good, I’m just nervous about the abilify

Did they have any recommendations about your living situation? Seems to me that’s more an influence on your health than a change in meds would make. Or at least equal.

With my living situation not really any suggestions they are hoping honestly that the abilify will increase the motivation

Right. Get away from the feeling of being stuck there.

I agree about your living situation. That needs to change ASAP. Hope the med change helps, too. Hang in there.
