Is Rexulti the Same as Abilify?
Quote:
I guess increased compulsive activity is a common side effect to abilify. So that would help to explain my increased hypomania symptoms. increased eating, drinking, picking, internet....etc. I can't believe that I was on abilify for 6 months. My sleep is better already with the added melatonin. So I am happy about that. bizi

I’m glad you are off the Abilify...
You had more and more intense episodes Abilify can be activating, so just lowering the dose could be helping you sleep better. I bet it’s hard to stick out those NAMI meetings. I give you a lot of credit for hanging in there. Good luck with the PT appointment |

I had my first PT appointment. I was there 1.75 hours.
She said she thought I had bursitis of both hips. She could be right. She had a message therapist come in and message me which felt good. then an ultrasounic device to administer lidocane and a methodine of some sort, an anti inflammatory medication. This is going to cost a fortune. I asked for an itemized list of each modality to see if I can afford therapy. They said they would call me. Tdoc today went ok....no really in the mood. So again, need to think about my posture. And need better glasses Better run I have a one oclock. She may not be home yet from a cat scan. bizi

Thank you for your quick response to my request. I had the xrays done on my hips and knees, neck and lower back.
The first 3 areas showed signs of arthritis. Will I receive a copy of the explanation of the arthritis, specific areas of the cervical spine, etc.? Thank you for ordering the mobic. The celebrex I will put on hold as it is very expensive. I will wait and see if the mobic gets me a decent nights sleep. This morning, I saw Patricia Boulet, PT. She believes both my hips have bursitis, so she is treating me for this with ultra sound using lidocaine and some other medication. She uses message as well. This thursday I see her again and probably twice a week for a while. I will go as long as I can afford her therapies. Thank you again for your care and concern. Just for your information, Dr. Orazio prescribed Naltrexone one month ago to help with my alcohol issues. I believe it may be helping a bit so far. Elizabeth

That was a good note, Bizi
I think it will be good for you to get a copy of the radiologist's reports. Ask for those. I will help you with those if I can. Your PCP will probably want an MRI to confirm the bursitis and/or send you to an ortho. You probably could decline that and decide to get treatment based on the experience of the PT. The treatment you are receiving is aggressive and appropriate (I think by the sound of it you have an excellent PT), and will probably be less expensive than 20% of the cost of the MRI….and then the same treatment you are already getting… because that's what they will probably order anyway. At least the meds she is using with the device are usually really cheap. I hope that the PT work helps. And I think it is probably worth the $$$ because you are pretty banged up. I'm sorry that I forgot that Celebrex is so expensive, but there are other meds out there aside from that, Mobic, and Cymbalta. See what your PCP recommends without your suggestions. |

Thank you kay.
She already prescribed the mobic for me and I took it last night with all of my other meds and I was out cold until the alarm went off. A good solid 7 1/2 hours total which is the most I have had in quite some time. I took at her orders: 80mg of geodon 200mg of seroquel 3mg of melatonin 15mg of mobic .25mg of klonipin no wonder I was snowed! I woke up with an occipital head ache that went away quickly. I need to get going, I have to shower and get ready in half an hour. I think I will call and tell her that I am running late. To give me more time. My fingers are still sore after chewing on them at the NAMI meeting last night. There was an emergency there last night, one of the facilitators was ill and almost passed out and asked to call the ambulance. I froze and did nothing. Another woman went to his aid...after they called one for him I noticed that he was slipping while sitting up so I went and told him to lean on me to hold him upright. I freeze up in emergency situations, I am not a very good nurse.... bizi
