Picking up the pieces again *SU Trigger*

[Suzi]

Oh, so no good for pootling in your garden then! lol
Are you overdoing it? Not sleeping as well?

[Strugglingmum]

Definitely not overdoing it.... maybe undergoing it. Sleeping ok. Guess I'm just low. No real reason except me

[Suzi]

You sounds really down, hunni is your mood slipping? Is it worth talking to your care team?

[Strugglingmum]

Had psychology this morning and have a scheduled review with my psychiatrist today. Just waiting on his call.
Just realised this thread is so long. Will have to start a new one. I'll try get round to it later

[Suzi]

Were you honest with how you are feeling?

[Strugglingmum]

Yes. My psychologist emailed my psychiatrist so he would know how things were before he phoned me. He offered to change my vortioxetine but I wasnt up for a change at the moment and sure next choice could be worse. He also offered to increase my risperidone again but I feel I'm sleeping ok but he said I could have a think and let him know. He will phone again in 6-8weeks. Meantime my CPN can contact him if i want to try changing meds

[Suzi]

I'm glad they are talking and taking into account what you are saying and how you are feeling. That's really positive.

Was he talking about upping the vortioxetine or changing meds altogether?

Was he talking about upping the vortioxetine or changing meds altogether?

I'm on the top dose of vortioxetine already, so would be another trial of something else.

[Suzi]

There are always other options.. How long have you been on the vort?
