so i saw pdoc on friday and we talked about my meds and what i can be weaned off of. what to try. what works what doesn't.
and point blank he said whatever it is that zyprexa does...it works. somehow my brain 'just needs zyprexa'. so i will not be going off it anytime soon. however he dropped my perphenazine from 2 at 2pm and 6 bedtime to only 4total.
he also dropped perphenazine from 100 back down to 50.
he thinks that zyprexa is really mostly all i need.now. had that been the brand name i would say yes. but its not. i told him how much i would have had to pay and he was appalled. but glad this second generic 'works' for me. i put it in quotes cuz i'm still not convinced it works as well as name brand.
anyway. we're just doing that for now.
i feel a bit lower today but probably take a week or so getting used to new regimine.though i wasn't sure if his putting me to 50 pristiq was on purpose or not. i forgot i was out so i txt'd him to call it in. he did at 50 but he doens't exactly carry my chart around so he might have thought i was on 50.
i question this cuz he said when he told me about changin perphenazine that we'd try that first before we change anything else...b2c.
