~ Hunter's Current Meds ~
- Abilify - 20mg, every morning
- Concerta - 36mg, every morning
- Concerta - 27mg, every noon
It appears Hunter is falling apart more in the afternoons, after lunch, than he is in the morning so a second, smaller, dose of Concerta was added.
I managed to hustle around today after our doctor appointment's to get the Concerta 27mg prescription filled so he could start taking that at lunchtime today. What a difference!
Not only did he score a 100% for the day but when I let him know a little while ago it was time for shower there was zero argument! In fact, only seconds passed before I heard the shower come on. WOW!
~ Carrie's Current Meds ~
- Abilify - 5mg, bedtime
- Adderall - 20mg, four times per day
- Cymbalta - 60mg, bedtime
- Lithium - 450mg, bedtime
- Trazodone - 200mg, bedtime (for insomnia)
- Plus the Vagus Nerve Stimulator
I also take Lasix - 20mg for hypercalcemia.
The only change made to my meds today was to the Abilify. For the past three months I have been taking 2mg of Abilify at bedtime but the highs and lows of my mood are pretty tightly spaced (rapid cycling) so we bumped it up a notch.
Let's see how the next month goes for Hunter and me.
