Here we go again with the Clozapine dropping my white cell count.

Hi Anne,

I know what you mean about having to go up slowly with the meds. You really are on a low dose of abilify though! I don't even think I started at 2mg, I think I just started at 5mg right away. She bumped me up to 10mg and that was too much for me to handle. The 5mg was still too much in my opinion but after a year, I am used to it now. She always wants to bump me up to 10mg but I always thwart her efforts!!

I hope that coming off the zyprexa helps with those side effects. It is good that you're seeing your pdoc in 2 weeks. It sounds like you could still use very regular monitoring. I always feel safer knowing that an appointment isn't too far off if something comes up.

Good luck with the meds and hopefully that song dwindles into just normal mind noises that don't drive you crazy.

A med sensitive friend recently had a doctor suggest she try "licking the pills" to start off with. Funny doctor.

Hello AJ. Now would seem to be a good time to buy lottery tickets. You don't seem to have much luck at much else!!! Maybe it's your turn to win a lottery.

Good luck with your next test. Take Care. paul m
