I saw my pdoc this morning and I told her about really disliking Latuda at a higher dose, so she went back through my entire history and we talked and decided for me to go back on Zyprexa Zydis since historically it has the best track record with me. I'm going to taper off the Latuda while starting up the Zyprexa.

She also lowered my wellbutrin back to 300mg (not really sure why, but I'll roll with it) and upped my buspar.

I'm seeing her in 4 weeks, and at that point, she wants to add in an anticonvulsant mood stabilizer. She mentioned lamictal at my last appointment, and today was talking about tegretol and trileptal. She mentioned that with the last 2 the side effects are similar to those of depakote which makes me scared because depakote gave me a horrible tremor! I'll probably get her to try me on lamictal again even though the first time I gave up on it because it gave me a rash (not THE rash, just a rash) because the side effect profile is much lower.

I was really hoping we'd reduce the number of meds I'm on, not increase...but it doesn't look like that's happening unless by some miracle I stop needing seroquel to sleep. Oh well.
