So I am doing great IFF I get to sleep enough, which for me is 8-9 hours.

And I got my labs done this morning, to establish the baseline on these meds. During the week I will get a baseline EKG, too.

So the labs: lipids (cholesterol etc) no change. Fasting glucose 93, not too bad, was 83 in July 22, but this might be random variation.

The bad thing is that the liver enzymes have jumped up and they have never been as high. And we expected them to drop because I have recently lost 10% of body weight. But I have researched the issue and Thorazine can do it. In fact in the past when Thorazine was widely used it was a top source of liver toxicity in the US. But I am only taking 60 mg where the highest approved dose is 1g! I hope I will be OK. The retest of liver enzymes is in 3 weeks. I have read that sometimes on thorazine they stabilize by themselves, without discontinuing the drug.

Other than that, I feel fine.

Regarding word retrieval problems, I have for now discontinued Topamax which I was taking for weight loss. It can do it big time, has been dubbed Dopamax for a reason. I upped its dose 2 weeks before starting Latuda/ Thorazine so what I attributed to Latuda or thorazine might have been due to upping the dose. If I return to normal, fast word retrieval, we will know that Topamax is the culprit and I will try going bad to the initial tiny dose of it on which I had been in April-July 2022 without any problems. It might just be a dose-dependent side effect. I

Oter than that, I am doing fine and in general I am still incredulous. I, sleeping on a small dose of Thorazine, not needing Zyprexa at all? I find it hard to believe my luck.
