My pdoc said at least for now I must remain on Geodon (most likely cause) since its the first med that has ever stabilised me and crushed psychosis.
I also dont want to increase Seroquel. On 50mg I tend to get 3-5 hours max so I see his point, and without it I just dont sleep. Tried other meds. Nothing works. I just dont want to put on weight. Havent really so far but in the past higher doses packed it on.
The good bit was the conversation we had about my psychosis and his experience of it, as well as mine of course. He is a great doctor who genuinely cares about me. He clearly went above and beyond to help me come back to reality and basically stay alive while IP. It strengthened our therapeutic bond. I am lucky to have him.
See my T tomorrow. Im sure it will go well too.

Try not to worry about Seroquel. Its weight neutral for some including me.
