I'm saw my pdoc again today. Once again I haven't really followed his prescribing, I was meant to be taking stelazine 1-2mg BD but after getting an olanzapine script called in during a particularly agitated few days I stopped taking it daily & started using it prn. The olanzapine script he called in I only used prn but that was his instruction anyway. He stated I may need to restart a mood stabiliser or commence another daily AP on the phone when we he called in that script..

Now I've seen him again he wants to start Zoloft 50mg & has given me klonopin prn. Last time I spoke to him he was leaning towards bipolar (well I figured as much due to his recommendations), but he seems firmly planted on the side of anxiety again. I'm ok with that, I question the bipolar dx most days, but I'm worried that I will have yet another exacerbation of agitation with zoloft, although I have klonopin to save me now.

He also wants me to keep taking stelazine but regularly not prn like I had changed myself to, (which I can see his frustration with me over but I get anxious about all the pills & if I'm even sick & worry I'll probably cause more problems for myself with polypharmacy & resulting side effects). I need to STOP messing with his prescriptions!
