Saw my new Pdoc

I saw my new pdoc last week...Tuesday I think...cant remember what day it was. It went pretty well, other than I had to wait an hour for my appt because they refused to see me till I paid the co-pay and DH left with the credit card and was gonna pay when we got back...and I had a sick kid with me. But other than that, things went okay. He listens to me. I was flat out blunt with him, went through the whole list of meds with him, he says "well there arent many options left for you" I was like "uhhh no kidding, thats why im here" so he gives me lamictal again, not really sure why since I dont know that it ever did anything, but if it isn't bad then I'm not gonna argue. He put me on 1 mg Risperdal, upped my Lunesta to 3 mg, said take the Xanax, Strattera and Paxil like I had been doing it and see me in a month. He listened to me. It was awesome, he didnt give me a blank stare...he told me that since I had so few meds to work with, I had to suck it up and deal with the side effects or just with the bp unmedicated, and I was like ehhhh ill take the side effects....because me unmedicated is NOT a good thing. Its been like 4 days with the Risperdal, so far so good, the first two days I was sooooo out of it, but no sickness or anything....im not hot, im not losing my hair, im not over tired...but it makes me uncoordinated as hell, like im drunk, but I can still function so this might be the one boys and girls. Keli, how did you react to this one??? Other than bp related....my youngest broke her arm on Thursday, gets her cast on Wednesday..thinks she's hot stuff now and wants to tell EVERYONE about her arm...its hilarious. She's soooo tough, the only time she has cried was when they were doing the xrays....and that crap hurts like hell. Anyways, Im kinda manic at the moment, can you tell??? Luckily I dont have any money, so no spending sprees.....the credit cards are maxed out and I cant apply for a new one so soon after me and DH are finally working things out, he is still flipping out about my last bp spending spree....and that was like 9 months ago. Granted I spent like $2000..but eh, details.

Love you guys
