More Medication Manipulation

Still on the trail of the ketamine treatment. I understand that my specialist is pursuing it with my insurance company. I leave that in his hands, but I am impatient. My next appointment is the coming Monday. Hopefully there will be news.

Last tweak he performed was to add an anti-psychotic (Zyprexa) to my regimen, and to drastically drop the beta blocker (Inderal) and the anti-seizure (Depakote) medication. The goal being to lessen my dizzy spells and improve my appetite without "all the wheels falling off" (his words).

Jury's back in. I gained weight, which is good, but the migraines are wicked bad. Looks like Zyprexa is well known for weight gain, so that in addition to the lessened nausea are positive. But I'd trade some levelling off and even some dizziness for lessening the migraines again.

Huh. I notice that Zyprexa also has insomnia as a side effect. Check.

Hmmph.
