During those 2 weeks, I asked my psychiatrist for anti-psychotics and she prescribed me a low dose of Geodon. That didn’t help at all. I started taking more than the recommended dose of my klonipin which also didn’t help. I was crying all the time. I was yelling at my dogs which I never ever do. I was so cruel to my husband. I was going through psychosis. 

Then I had another appointment with my psychiatrist and she switched me to 2mg of Xanax twice a day when I was taking 2mg of klonipin 4x a day. The 2mg of Xanax twice a day isn’t working. I’m still taking 2 more than prescribed just to not feel so anxious all the time. I have another appointment on Monday with her to increase my dosage. 

I take Ozempic for my diabetes along with an increased dosage of insulin. It’s improved my fasting sugars and curbed my appetite. It’s stopped me from stress eating. I go in on Monday for bloodwork to see where my A1C is at now after being on the medication for 2 months now. 

I know people have gotten great results from the drug. I’m not taking it to lose weight but to control my diabetes. But it just sucks that I’m fighting between keeping my sanity and preventing my limbs from being amputated down the road.
