Did your doctor express what would occur if you didn't have this test? If the risks aren't too great and you found a med that helps keep your blood pressure under control I agree the better thing to do might be skipping this test. You've been stable for a while since your last mixed episode. I'd hate to see you sacrifice that.
You're in my thoughts. Blessings for peace and wellness.

Hi fern46! Good to hear from you as well. Yes, my PDoc and GP were in communication regarding the med changes. My PDoc didn't seem to think the changes in the buspar would be anything serious but the geodon he was a bit apprehensive with since I did have a serious mixed episode recently as you well know. I will message my GP regarding my anxiety and lack of sleep. Asking what would happen if I didn't have this test is a great idea! I'll ask. Also the increase in lamictal doesn't seem too be having that much of an effect. I am seriously considering skipping this test and just doing the blood work and urine tests they ordered. I really don't want to relapse during the summer months. I plan on having fun and don't want to be ill during it all.
Thanks for your support and blessings. Much appreciated, fern46! I will keep everyone posted and updated as things progress
