I am taking the fewest meds in my life.
I had gotten psychotic getting off geodon and situational stress,
mother in law died, cat had cancer and it grew out of her back. hubby was unable to take her in to be put to sleep so I did it. Her name was hattie.
Jeff dug a big hole for her when I came back. It was terrible.
I was hospitalized for one month and they finally got me stabilized on haldol 5mg twice a day,150mg of lamictal twice a day then cogentin to prevent TD from the haldol. she allows me to keep the klonipion for sleep.
And I have some PRN meds if I need to take them, zyprexa and requip if I get restless legs from the zyprexa. and then I have remeron to take for sleep if I need it. I rarely take a prn.I took 2 the other night when I could not sleep and had restless legs. they work well. I am sleeping in the other room due to Jeff does want to get covid from me.
sorry that was a long response. I am glad that my provider is so easy to get along with. She is a nurse practitioner with psych credentials.
