Just met my new pdoc. She seems OK. Probably still a serial killer, but at least she's a nice serial killer that thinks my cat is cute and laughs at my jokes. She's going to ween me off the Invega with tablets (but I am to stop cold turkey and call if the rash comes back), up my Lamictal, and add prazosin, keep taking the Thorazine, and only take half of the non-prescription substances I've been using (yeah, right! it'll probably be easier just to stop because I have no ability to control myself once I'm in that situation, especially with drinking)
Also I might be moving (again!) in with a friend. She has a lot of pain issues and said if I can cook, clean, and go shopping for her she'll let me live there rent free as long as I'm not a PITA. Seriously considering it because it kinda sucks here.
Oh, another thing I liked about my pdoc was that she asked about specific symptoms like hallucinations, racing thoughts, etc rather than just "are you manic/depressed/psychotic?"
