Seeing my pdoc in 8 hours

Longhorn21 · August 1, 2019, 6:30am

I see my pdoc soon and I’m very nervous. 1. As most of you know I haven’t been doing so well. 2. My mom is coming with me to meet my pdoc for the first time! My mom can be supportive but judgmental at the same time. She’s going so my pdoc can see I do have some kind of support and so my mom learns a little more about schizophrenia.

Hoping it goes well for you!

I hope you have a good appointment! Don’t worry too much about your mom…remember that her opinions are hers and there’s not too much you can do to change her experience. I’m glad you have her to support you and it’s good that she’ll be learning more about schizophrenia. You’ll do fine!

What meds are you on now?

Longhorn21 · August 1, 2019, 1:36pm

Risperdal, burspar, Zoloft. But I’m hoping to get a med change today

Hope your meeting went well

It did, I got new meds and pdoc said I’m making a lot of progress

FatMama · August 2, 2019, 5:26am

That’s awesome! What meds are you trying?

Longhorn21 · August 2, 2019, 5:28am

I’m being taken off of risperdal and being put on Abilify

FatMama · August 2, 2019, 5:30am

I hope that works great for you!

Longhorn21 · August 2, 2019, 5:30am

Thanks! I hope so to!

Be aware of withdrawal, you may have to take risperdal alongside abilify, I don’t know how this combination may work,
