Saw my pdoc today

Medications
1

She’s increasing my Invega to 9 mg. She prescribed 15 mg twice a day of buspirone for my anxiety, and hydroxyzine 50 mg for sleep. I’m grateful to her that she’s helping me get sleep and calm down a bit.

She wants to see me again in 4 weeks, but if I’m not ok, she put a note in my chart I can see her sooner. Where I go you have to get permission from the triage nurse or dr to schedule an appointment earlier than what the dr says at your last appointment.

I’m very grateful to her

Thanks @GrayBear . How long did it take to build up in your system before it helped you?

Fyi buspirone could possibly work for negatives since it acts on serotonin 5ht1a. Latuda and abilify have action at this site also

A double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled trial of buspirone added to risperidone in patients with chronic schizophrenia - PubMed.

I’m glad your pdoc helped you. I hope you can get some sleep.

I’m also on Buspirone 15mg twice a day for anxiety and repetitive thoughts. It takes 3-4 weeks to build up in your system.

Thanks @Leaf . Last night I took half the dose of the two new meds because I was panicking. I was afraid something bad would happen. Nothing bad happened though so tonight I’m going to take the full dose of both.
