This is where I am now. The doctor lowered my dose of geodon. I wasn't on a very high dose anyway, so she's concerned about effectiveness, down to 60 mg. If this doesn't work, she says she can add back a small amount in the morning possibly. Btw, I have already been on 5 previous anti-psychotics since the hospital doc pulled me off of all drugs and switched my regiment last spring, I've even tried breaks in between to seen if I could do without. This one has been the most responsive so far. I can't remember (surprise!) what I took before the hospital. The drug change is for the problem I had this morning.
As for the memory lapses, the doctor brought up the possiblity of dissociative disorder? I think I'm getting that right. I told her I have never had any problems like this before. We also talked about the depression. There is one incident that has happened since the major depression, though. Two of my sons perform in a band and I talked with a lady who was sitting to me whose daughter also is in the band. I thought I had never met her, but it turns out at some point I have shared everything about my children with her. She knew that I have triplets and a fourth child, and she knew that I am concerned about upcoming college bills. As we talked, I kept trying to recall any conversation, where or when, that we had met.
I really don't need another label added next to my diagnosis right now!
And as we always end, whether I am seeing my psychiatrist, or my therapist, I get the question....When do you see your therapist/psychiatrist again?
I guess it's time to pass me off to the next one!
