Jada's current meds are:
Depakote (mood stabilizer) 375 mg in am 500 mg in pm
Intuniv (non-stimulant ADHD med) 2 mg at 5 pm
Prozac (anxiety) 5 mg in pm
Until last week, she was also on Geodon (mood stabilizer). Due to several factors including increased appetite (which is an understatement) which caused a twenty pound weight gain and insulin resistance (not good at all for her diabetes). And I found her to become very tired an hour after each dose of the Geodon. Her doctor agreed with me that it would be best that she come off.
Since she has been at camp this week, I don't really know how her being off of the Geodon has affected her appetite, mood, or insulin needs. I hope to see tomorrow. But of course, she was way more active at camp than she is at home which won't really give me a clear answer as far as insulin goes.
We head back to the doctor on Tuesday where we will cover it all.
Her anxiety has definitely improved since adding the Prozac, even at that low of a dose.
That is it for tonight! My brain is fried!
