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

[Paula]

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

[Strugglingmum]

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.

[Paula]

Was he suggesting swapping out the vort or adding something else into the mix?

[Suzi]

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