Hello all,
First thank you to everybody who was in my corner, having this place as an added part of my support network is amazing.  So I don't even remember when, but a "couple"? of days ago I stopped seeing the angels and the demons, and I stopped listening to what they were telling me to do. I also got reassigned to a different PDoc, one who was willing to talk to MY outside PDoc. Things changed drastically for me. I started going to groups, I found some medications that we could all agree upon adding to my cocktail(wish that were a grey goose martini  ) And I stopped fighting it. I am still hypo as ^^&* but I can maintain at this level. I have done and said all of the things that they want of me. They have agreed to let me out this morning around 10. I start IOP on Monday, and I should get the results of my genetic testing Monday as well. That will help with the med changes going forward. My new med plan adds Depakote with a slow taper off of the seroquel, and it replaces my Clonazapam with Geoden?(slow taper there also) or maybe it is GabaPentin? I don't exactly remember. They want to blame the psychotic break on the increased level of Benzo. I am not sure I buy into that, but my PDoc told me privately that she is willing to put me back on Kpin if I need it. she is not into watching patients suffer. She did say that if I go back on it I need to accept that I will be physically dependant on it. She also helped me differentiate addiction and dependence. I think that helps me a lot. Thankfully work is allowing me to switch shifts for 3 weeks so I can go into the IOP program, my boss has a BP sister so she gets it. Well I have to let somebody else use the computer so farewell for now, thanks again for all of the support and I am sorry if I triggered anybody or said anything offensive or combative.

Hi jpb,
I am so happy for you!  It's easy to support someone willing to do the work. You've taken responsibility from the very beginning of this episode. You are sweet to show concern for others. I feel you handled all very well and, thus, did not likely trigger anyone. Your concern just shows us more of your wonderful qualities. Thrilled you were able to change doctors and you are getting out today! Thanks for the updates, we all care very much! WC |
