It's been difficult keeping up here given my recent stomach (and related) issues. Luckily they started to ease a little on Monday. Today they are almost gone, but I'm still avoiding certain foods/beverages, and taking it easy.

I saw my psychiatrist today. We were early, but he called me in early. Thank goodness! I finally presented my new insurance card. With public insurance, my co-pay is 0. Zero. He wrote prescriptions for a 60-day supply of generic Seroquel XR and a 90-day supply of lamotrigine. The total co-pay for both, combined, was 80 czk (US$3.66). We're liking this! I still haven't heard back from my general practitioner, regarding my blood test results. I think Hubby has to call him. Otherwise I wonder if I'd ever hear back. I'd like to get a copy of the results, in case we decide to switch to another general practitioner. This one is a bit delinquent in helping us. Especially me. I still very much like my new psychiatrist. That's most important, anyway.

Nothing else much happening where I am. The weather has been ideal, in my book. Highs around 21 C (70 F). I'm a New Jersey gal, so I certainly know hot and humid summers, but I never liked them. My body is not designed for them.

I told my pdoc that I've resorted to taking a little Ativan (lorazepam) at night to sleep. He said they don't prescribe this benzo in CZ. Very surprising! He suggested maybe prescribing triazolam (Halcion) in the future. I've never heard of that one! Does anyone have any experience with it? I hate the idea of switching from one I rather like to one I might not. At least benzos are only prns for me, at this stage.
