I don't know if I'm hypo or not. Monday I was totally off the wall, but yesterday I was pretty calm for most of the day despite anxiously awaiting that phone call from my pdoc's office. I did do some cleaning, but I wasn't driven or in a frenzy. I was doing it as more of a distraction. But I'm still having a hard time sitting still, and I can't nap even tho I've been exhausted, but maybe part of that is stress/anxiety. The s- seems to hit the fan in the afternoon for some reason. I'm okay this morning, so IDK.

I still hadn't gotten a call from my pdoc's office by 3:30pm, so I called and spoke to one of the secretaries. She said my pdoc wasn't in, and that's why I hadn't gotten a call back (yesterday). She said she would leave her another note. I have no idea what happened on Monday when she was in the office.

I don't have to wait for a call back anymore. My pdoc called:
She immediately agreed I had to stop taking the Vraylar. So, I'm doing an 11 day taper to get off of it. I'm going to take a low dose of Rexulti for a very short period of time to replace it. She's giving me samples because I can't afford it, and I picked them up today.
I'm going to have a lot of med on board, so I'm going to have to end up lowering my dose of gabapentin to reduce sedation, probably by 200mg, exactly as expected. Probably not going to reduce it tonight tho cuz I'll be cutting the Vraylar in 1/2, and I don't want to do too much at once, but I'm still thinking about that.
So, I got exactly what I wanted. I just hope that it works out the way I want/need.

I had a 10am appointment with my neurologist on Friday, but rescheduled it because I'm sure I'll be sedated for a few days and unable to drive.
I went to the butcher shop and grocery store to pick some things up so I won't have to worry about having to beg Corey to drive me later in the week, but he's going to have to drive me up the street so I can play the lottery tomorrow lol
