Thanks Medlib,
Some more things for me to think about and research. And I think I may call him now to see if he can change that Seroquel to Geodon or Ablify. I was never thrilled with the Seroquel idea since I tend to overrespond to drugs that make you sleepy. Remeron put me out for a weekend.
You're right in that the hardest part is following through. It's been three days since my resolve to keep my daily mood chart. I did one day. :( I'll catch up today, I guess. But it doesn't bode well.
I guess the other hurdle is that I just plain distrust and dislike psych meds. The only ones I've ever been happy with are Klonopin and the Risperdal (although I guess I wasn't on that one long enough to hate it). Most of them are so... untargeted, I guess would be the right word. They don't do just X, they do X,Y,Z, etc. And usually at least one of those other things is something I just don't like. It makes me halfway inclined to go with the chemicals the good lord gave me. Oh well, I've got a three months to work on my attitude too, along with my research. (grin)
And you think your pdoc has it rough? :) I'm sorry yours is retiring and I hope the new one is someone you can work with. Good luck with her!
