I finally met with my pdoc, after a cancelled appointment and then another reschedule.
It was worth the wait because we discussed a bunch of changes that will take a few months to put into place.
The first thing I'm doing is stopping Seroquel; it hasn't made any difference in how I'm feeling and caused me to gain 25 lbs. I'm coming off by tapering down the dose once a week, so I'll be off in 4 weeks.
Next, stopping Latuda and switching it for Vraylar.
That's the short term. Longer term, I may qualify for psychotherapy and we are also considering starting Lamictal again but I'd have to be off everything else to do that.
There's more but this post is getting long so I'll stop here for now. Hugs to everyone that wants or needs them!
