She wants me to dose Trileptal smaller, like 150mg-300mg several times a day. This should really help. If I try to take 600mg at once I'm up all night peeing and my vision is terrible. She does want me to stick around 750mg instead of 900mg. This should help the Trileptal nausea I get.
She also dropped me back to 60mg of Geodon (this way I won't be as stupid as I was on 80mg). And she added back Buspar - which I did like.
Plus the 3mg a day of Klonopin. Once the Buspar kicks in it really helps with anxiety & depression.
I also told her about my consult with the neuro doc. I told her he wanted me to take Trileptal 600mg at a time - which makes me nauseous and also the Abilify, which just makes me fat.
I've been seeing her for a year and she knows me pretty well.
I'm happy and will stick with this plan. I see her again in 2 weeks! She's keeping me on a pretty tight leash! But, I probably need it, huh!
