Pdoc figures it would be ok to take Zyprexa. (yes, my issue as to taking it w/o consultation this time was in fact increased seizure risk - benzo reduction lowers sz threshold, so do neuroleptics, AND Wellbutrin lowers sz threshold by 4%.)

I told pdoc i felt i needed a med tweak. Told him of recent benzo reduction - currently holding while the level stabilizes (he agreed on that). Then told him i had wanted to take Zyprexa last night. He said after seeing me yesterday he thinks it would be a good idea.

DUH. So why didn't HE SUGGEST it. YESTERDAY?



So, then i backpedal and tell him that i was concerned about seizure risk in adding Zyprexa with a benzo reduction ongoing, so instead i upped my Depakote last night knowing it wouldn't hurt me and adding that it wouldn't make me fatter either.

He was good with trying that but he said, weight issue regardless, if i do not improve in 2-3 days I should go to Zyprexa. I am to call him Friday.

I hope the Depakote works.

Off to watch Charmed rerun...

~ waves ~ irritated that he didn't take more initiative on the meds... now i bring it up and suddenly it seems like the end of the world if i don't take Zyprexa should the Depakote not help.... HELLLLO???? where was he yesterday when i was sitting across from him just as messed up or worse?
