So its likely you wont have a problem for 5-7 days but eventually it will hit you... So instead of just dropping it and deal with possible withdrawl right before a major surgery that is going to keep you limited in ability to get around which I can imagine is going to be very long stressful process.. Why not just tell your Pdoc that you truly have given this med a good try but the side effects are not tolerable so .... "we need a new plan" and work together.. Honestly most Pdocs if you approach them with the truth about a med thats not working they will work to try to find something better,, Good luck in whatever you decide to do __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I'm feeling remarkably better off Latuda! What is that stuff, anyway...and does it really help anyone?
No Latuda means no Cogentin, no Propanalol. Left hand still tremoring slightly (annoying), but then I always have a degree of hand tremor left over from childhood scarlet fever. I feel physically alive. The remaining problem - and it's a major one - is the spinning anxiety. Obsessive to the point of crazy. No med has ever made a dent in it. Had a dream that an elevator opened and Mama Cass stepped out and sang to me in her sweet, sweet voice. Highly amusing __________________ |

Exhausted and wish I could lie in bed and read and sleep until tomorrow. I would if I didn't have stuff to do. Anxiety is out of control...I think it has to do with facing surgery. Which is strange, because I've had surgery 4 times in my life and I wasn't terribly nervous.
I finally see my T and my pdoc tomorrow. Not that either one ever has any magical solutions, but at least I can talk with them. __________________ |
