Default Med Change

Mari,
I did get the med change that was promised. I am not too sure of how I feel about that though. They took me off of one of my meds, trileptal, because it was lowering my sodium level and put me on lamictal. They thought that would be good with the geodon and the klonopin but then they decided I needed more. This is the one I wish they never put me on! Lithium. I have anorexia and this med causes weight gain. I already have control issues, if I start losing control over my weight I am not sure where we will end up. I am so sorry for your traumatic stay in a gov hospital. My hospital was private so I can say it was very nice. I just wish that the doctors and the nurses would listen to you. I honestly believe when you are admitted into one of these kinds of places the immediately think you are stupid and have no brain!

Waves,
I do not have a psych doc but I have a nurse pract that works as my psych doc. My general doc hasn't touched my psych meds since he put me into a manic phase by playing with my drugs. I only see him for referrals and check ups, everything else is done through specialists. I would love to get a actual psych doc but if I leave where I am now, I lose my therapist. I have a great relationship, usually, with him and I would want another therapist.

collinsc for both of you!!!!
