Venomous

I finally got in to actually see my psychiatrist today. (I had only been conducting phone consultations during the facility’s closure from COVID-19).

- I am getting off of Seroquel (300mg). This medication has worked quite well for me but it has given me problems with my blood glucose levels as well as weight gain. I am very much tired of dealing with those side effects so it’s on its way out. I should be off of it completely in a few weeks. I have to decrease my dosage gradually.

- Lexapro stays the same (10mg).

- Due to a recent relapse, my dose of Naltrexone has been increased to 100mg.

- Lamotrigine stays the same (100mg).

- My body has become much too tolerant to sleeping medications. I was on them for so many years that my body just got used to the effects. As such, I have been dealing with insomnia on and off for over a year. I have been on Trazodone before (up to 500mg) but was put back on it (100mg). Hopefully, it works(?)

Here’s hoping these alterations in my medicines works for the best!
