So we've confirmed that Depakote is causing me liver damage, and I need titrate off it. F€Ck. It's been doing stellar for about a year now, and even if it weren't for the case of the stupid mentals on it and the weight gain, I'd probably hold onto it. Catastrophic liver failure is no joke however, so it's gotta go.
The thing is, my doc is starting a 3-way titration as of last night, and today I feel like hell. We dropped my 1k Depakote to 750mg, added 20mg to my 60mg Latuda for a total of 80, and increased my Lamictal from 150 to 200. All at once. All at home. And sent me to work today.
I'm hiding out in the bathroom as I type this, hoping to not make many errors. Needless to say, I feel like hell. I'm up one minute, down the next, and just fine/able to get work done the next. It's quite the roller coaster, and I'm hoping to be well enough to drive carefully home tonight. If not, I'll have my wife come pick me up.
The doc had suggested possibly going IP to do this, and depending on how I feel in the AM I might just do that. We'll see though - any of these by themselves should be fine, but the combo is a bear.
Anyone else have experience with changing two mood stabilizers, an AP, and an AD all in one day? It's quite the ride. At least I'll be able to relax at home this evening and have better food/sleep than I would IP.
Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks in advance!
