Thanks Googley,

Well I met with my pdoc yesterday to go over my meds results, and he said that almost all my blood work issues were probably caused by my meds, except maybe the testosterone being high. He did a quick literature search while I was in his office, but couldn't find anything but said the most likely explanation was that it was meds.

He wants me to drop my risperidone dose by 1 mg, and see how that goes.

He's also in the next 3 weeks going to do a more thorough review of my meds and see if he can come up with some aternatives to discuss with me when i next see him. Not that I like the thought of changing meds, since mood wise the combo I'm on is going well.

As for the tachycardia, he says it could be anyone of 3 of my meds or the combination thereof. But at least I got a relatively quick appointment with the cardiologist. I go in on june 12 for another echocardiogram, and to be fitted with a holter monitor to be worn for 24 hours. Then I meet with the actual cardiologist on the 24'th. So hopefully he'll be able to come up with a course of action.

Just a little frustrating.
