ok, i talked with pdoc yesterday. and here's the game plan.
he gave me some 2.5 zyprexa to get me through this week since i know it works and i have stuff going on this weekend i didn't want to start a new drug and i needed something i knew worked (soon) due to some concerning symptoms. so i took one last night. i already had some issues this morning. i think the problem is the other two med that i'm on already make me so tired that anything else just tips the scale and wipes me out but MAN do i get good sleep. even though it's WAAAY hard to wake up i do feel well rested.
anyway, then he gave me Geodon samples. to start next week.
he started me at 40 but mentioned that at lower doses there seem to be more SE such as aggitation, insomnia etc. so we'll see how that goes.i guess i just want to try and see if there is something that will be better. since i've never tried to change. i will give geodon a try. if that doesn't seem to help then zyprexa it is, but at least this way i've tried it.
and i did mention the metaformin to pdoc and he said that he doesn't usually do that, he usually tries another route because it is a 'heavy diabetic medication'?? so he said he'd rather try Geodon with me first.
anyway. thank you all.
