My pdoc is so cool! I was almost half an hour late and she still took me!

We're stopping lithium and starting lamictal on wednesday.

She was ok with me being on 2.5 of zyprexa and going off soon.

This is the first time ive made a psych med change in a long time.

Great that you have a pdoc who you can relate to.

I'm also on rexulti, now at 1mg and stepping up to 2mg next week. Also ramping off of Zyprexa... down to 1.25mg. I wasn't able to stop lithium just like that. I had to slowly ramp down.

How long have you been on rexulti?

Hmmm. A year or two?
