I had another check up with my psychiatrist last Wednesday. I had been on Luvox, the 'Cadillac' of OCD medication for about a month or more with no changes. I think he was expecting it to work, because last time we talked we were going to go for longer periods with one medication, yet now he said we might as try new meds.
Interestingly enough, he has me on a medication he said he hasn't used in a long time....long enough he needed to go back to his office to check on doses, frequencies, etc!
If this doesn't work, he said Ritalin would help with depression and motivation, but could worsen the OCD, so that wasn't the best sounding option.
However, the part Im most curious about is he wants me to get labs done, specifically looking at Vitamin D & Testosterone levels..... So that explains it!!! ;) Maybe there could be something there...we'll see. But that's where I'm at...
Among all of the Malloy physical ailments, whose got the next update!
Wow...that will be interesting to see the results of those tests...I hope there's something there!
