My Update.

[houghchrst]

Well I imagine that many of you have figured out by now I didn't make it to the support group meeting. I had a minor panic attack and opted out at the last minute. After I kept wishing I would have gone. I think it was just too sudden for me and the thought of relying on transportation from someone else and being stuck there was kind of terrifying. The next meeting is on the 17th and I do plan to go. I am more prepared and I will be driving so if I need to I can leave.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the support and I am sorry for disappointing all of you. Which is probably why I waited until now to check in.

I saw the pdoc Wed. night and we had to nix the Risperdal because of the Prolactin levels. Instead she raised my Cymbalta to 60 mg and told me to take the Clonopin two times a day at .5 mg in am and pm. She is trying to decide between Keppra and Topomax. She wants me to try Trileptal but I refuse to go off the birth control pills. Guess the side effects from Topomax are numerous and Keppra is relatively new. She wouldn't even consider Zyprexa because of my weight problems. Started dieting the slow and easy way. Don't want to put the entire family in dietary shock especially when the oldest boy is picky and is thin.

I guess I have rambled enough and bored you all to tears so I am going now. I hope you all have a great weekend and holiday.

Oh Christina you didn't disappoint any of us! Don't be so hard on yourself! Really, we're just glad you're gearing up to go to this support group meeting. I am proud of you for deciding to go, so what if it's on the 17th instead of this week? You're still set to go, so be happy! :D

I am sorry you had to go off the risperdal but hopefully the increase in the cymbalta will be enough to help along with the klonopin. You didnt ramble on at all, you just shared with us your update, so thanks for keeping us posted! :)

Best of luck to you with the new increases on your meds and hope you have a wonderful weekend and holiday! :D

Well, there's always the next meeting, right. Look ahead, not behind. :)
