Panic Over Medication Review
I'm in a terrible state. I'm due for a medication review in a week and I'm petrified that they'll put me on all new stuff and that I'll have to start from the beginning again and suffer all the start up side effects.
My Seroqeul has been upped to 200mg twice daily and my Lyrica to 200mg twice daily too already and there is talk of me going on a combination of Olanzapine and Lithium. Surely they'll take me off some of the other medication before doing that.
I'm terrified. Dr. Kirrane's exact words on Tuesday were "There's 100's of medications we can try", referring to the mood storms. It's like they just don't know what to put me on.
