My pdoc and therapist are very aware of the SI, and I think that they're both concerned in their own ways. No one wants to put me in the hospital because if anything I regress when I'm in there. So, they see me weekly if not more often when I'm going through one of these periods. I try to be as honest as I can with them both but not as to seem like a drama queen.I did try Abilify a couple of years ago when it first came out and it did nothing for me. The combination of Geodon and Seroquel seem to work the best for me- until something better comes along. I think what I could benefit for the most right now is some sleep....the headache has been so bad that I haven't even slept with the seroquel and klonopin the last few nights. Today my internist noticed a difference from lack of sleep and gave me Tylenol #4- 2 every 4 hours, so that along with the klonopin is really sedating me. Haven't actually slept yet but feel like I'm headed there. Will be seeing a neurologist this Thursday for further evaluation of my head, balance, etc. This is where the value of my PCP really shone through today.....I called to make an appt with the neurologist and the first available appt is October 4th. No negotiations with the little snot on the other end of the phone. I called my internist to ask if she wanted me to wait that long and she said "I'll take care of it" and within 15 minutes I had an appt for this Thursday! Go figure!
Rest well this week. Glad to hear that things aren't quite as bad as you thought that they might be. Try to have a good week. Thanks for your concern about me.......try not to worry about me though, as I feel that I probably fall into one of those "chronic nut case" categories.
