PDoc visit -- Pretty Good
Mon, 12-11-2006 - 12:17pm
I saw my PDoc for the first time outpatient. We did the whole 20 questions thing. He asked how my episodes have been and what I want to see happen. Then he gave me a choice: up the Lithium (since my blood test showed a 0.8 there is room to make the change) or try a new mood stablizer (Lamictal). I thought about it. I think it would be best financially to give Lithium one more try, seeing how I get it for $10 with my insurance. The Lamictal would be $60--I'm sure that's a bargain considering the full price, but it would still be hard on our budget. Anyone having to pay full price for any of these psych. meds, have my full sympathy. Oh and he gave me a month's worth of Risperdal in samples. Woohoo!
