So I'm seeing my pdoc tomorrow after having to put it off for what seems like months. I write notes, that's what I do. I don't know what to say this time.

I've been on Rexulti for months and it hasn't been working. I'm afraid I've tried all the options and will just have to give up.

Bleh. The depression and hallucinations won't go away. And I'm pretty sure all this lithium is giving me hand tremors. But he said he won't worry about it until everything else with me is stable.

Sending hugs and good vibes for your appt. Just be honest with your Dr about what's going on, sounds like your meds so need some tweaking.

Good luck with your appointment. I also write notes and my pdoc encourages it.

Great to hear from you!

So sorry things are not going so well for you.

I also write notes to remind me which topics to cover.
I include sleep pattern, weight gain/appetite, energy vs. fatigue, overall symptoms and any stressors (both good or harmful).

I hope your pdoc can help you and your life will look up soon.

If the roads are flooded or other terrible unsafe weather happens pdoc's will give you refills or even partial refills to get you through.

Is transportation still a problem with getting to your appts ?

Hope you feel better soon

I am sorry it's so difficult for you.
Any chance your pharmacy would mail your scripts to you?

Hopefully going tomorrow! Or today technically. I'm so nervous for some reason this time. Even though I've been going for years. I can't sleep. Bleh

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I didn't go because the roads didn't open up. They're open now but I have to wait on my mom's schedule. I was able to get some lithium and Valium that will last me a few days.
