so i am a little over a week OFF latuda and feeling better, i am also down to 20 of fetzima. Last day today. Actually feeling better.
i have a 'wash-out' day tomorrow and then start back on Pristiq on Friday.So pdoc was considering putting me on brintellix next but i was hesitant, i felt like due to its makeup it would be another failed one.
i was never pleased that pdoc took me off Pristiq in the first place. but for the last 9 months I've heard nothing but hesitation from pdoc about the pristiq and quite frankly a little fear from pdoc. seems she has just been So afraid of me 'getting manic' it has been Negatively affecting her decisions for me. Finally T and her talked (again) and this time T explained to her many aspects of my illness that she was either misinterpreting OR making incorrect assumptions on.
it was very helpful and now i get to go back on Pristiq.
i only hope that i haven't been off it too long for it to help me again. even though i have to start at 50 and stay there a bit before moving up to 100, i'm hoping that i will still be feeling better than i have for the last 7 months without it.-keep fingers crossed.
