I should have gotten the letter from tdoc yesterday, but didn't. I'm worried I never updated my address from last year. I should have confirmed my address… If it doesn't come today, I'm going to call the office tomorrow to see if there's a copy in my chart. If there isn't I'm ****ed. If there is, I'll have to take a cab over there to pick the letter up prior to the evaluation. Round trip this will cost me about $40 and it will be a pain in the ***. It will add stress on a day I don't need it. Nothing is easy.

I went to the doctor Thursday...

I like my scale a lot better than his. I am the heaviest I have ever been at 156.8lb. I've never weighed more than 152 on any scale and that's when I had a lot of muscle. My PCP was pretty shocked by the weight gain (over 20lb in about 4mo), but my BMI is still good. I don't care. I'm not comfortable in my own skin right now.

He ran labs, including thyroid levels, but I haven't heard anything yet which isn't unusual. It could just be the seroquel causing the weight gain, but it also can cause hypothyroidism, which I already have. I don't know.

He said he was worried about how much seroquel I'm on. He repeated it a couple of times. I agree with him.

I'm on 750mg right now (100am/650pm). The max is 800.
I went up to 700 because of intrusive thoughts and violent imagery caused by anxiety. I went up another 50mg because I started exhibiting sx of hypomania…
My anxiety level is pretty low right now and I'm stable. I'm going to try reducing my daytime dose by 50mg. I won't go any lower than that without talking to pdoc, but I'd like to get rid of the daytime dose altogether.

It's a new year, so my insurance benefits reset and I'm not in the Medicare donut hole anymore. No more clipping coupons to get prescriptions for me for a while. As an added benefit, I'll be filling almost every script (5) at the same time today so that means less trips to the pharmacy in the future. Unfortunately it also means a big chunk of change all at once... I've never filled some of these scripts through insurance before so I have no idea how much they'll cost.
