Well, the nurse was different this time and crossed some boundaries and talked about Ted's taboo subject, which is sexual dysfunction and I explained that he is 28 years old, and men in their 70's want to try Cialis for an erection. It's not important but she said she would reconsider and that she is partial to Prozac because she herself has taken it for 30 years and the goal of it was to keep him awake when he takes it in the morning, it is the one anti-depressant that gives and energizing effect.

She said she will look into, but since he is not bi-polar or type two bi-polar taking an anti-depressant is important to keep him from severe depression, from his schizophrenia aspects and I think she has him covered so I am not going to stress or worry about it much more, unless he is still on prozac in a month or two. She said to be patient and that she would exchange information about him about what anti-depressant might work better in combination with Depakote. She is one of the best nurse practitioners here in my town according to word of mouth.

She even brought in my counselor and said I wasn't depressed I was overwhelmed and she couldn't increase my anti-depressant because I needed coping skills since I have lost a support network and am now a caregiver to someone who used to be able to take his medications whenever it was time. The depakote makes him very sleepy.

Also I heard that Seraquel XR doesn't have as much of a drowsy affect but the Seraquel XR is what caused Ted's mania to peak. He had a adverse reaction to it.
