I've been allowed to cut the AD dose for years. So not a problem. The MAOI is really, really stimulating (when I was first on it I had to double my seroquel dose and alternate klonopin and valium every 2 hours through the day just to function until my body got used to it). So in general the first thing I do if I'm getting manic is to reduce my MAOI exposure for a day or two. It stays in the bloodstream for a long time so just missing a few doses doesn't even drop things much. Going back on the 1/2 dose will get me back where I was in just a day or two. It's about the only med I can adjust myself.

Hopefully I'll actually get a chance to talk to my pdoc tomorrow or she'll get the emails and either I'll know I have just days until I start Latuda or she hopefully will start something else. That's what I'm asking anyway although I'm not sure she'll do that without seeing me because of the meds that we're going to be discussing and my history of trouble with APs. I may have go IP to start neuroleptics with supervision to be sure I don't get tardive dyskinesia b/c I'm at increased risk.

I don't care anymore just so something happens soon. I just want to be better. I am so tired of this endless episode.
