I had my meeting with my psychitrist today at 1:15pm. He was surprised to find out everything that has happened to me in the last two weeks, shocked to say the least. I now have two additional medications along with my other medications that I am currently on. I will now be on a medication for my out of body experiences and another medication used just for PTSD patients and their nightmares.
So now I am on:
Paxil, once a day, 40 mg
Clonzapam, 2x a day as needed, 1mg
Abilify, once a day, 5 mg
and I am currently unsure what the last medication is called because I couldn't read the prescription.
I am glad that my medications were not switched to something completley different. I was dreading that part. I am fine with medications being added though.
Some people think that I am overly medicated, I beg to differ, and I'm sure my whole family does as well. My doctor would not over medicate me to the point where I couldn't function and have no emotions. I have control over myself and I know if I am being overly medicated. I fully trust my psychiatrist and the decisions he has made for me.
I am looking forward to feeling better and have this medication kick in. I know it's for the better and I will feel better. I have a follow up appointment on May 17th and we will go from there. I assume that I will be on these medications for awhile and then weaned off to see how I do.
It's been a rough two weeks but it can only go up from here, right?
