Pdoc called for a checkup this morning, as scheduled. (Next appointment will be in person!) She asked if I was having any issues and of course I told her about my dry mouth since starting the Seroquel 300's and about what the dentist said about my oral health with the seven cavities I had all at once and that it was from the Seroquel drying my mouth out. Pdoc asked me what I want to do. I said can we increase Haldol and not take Seroquel. She said the Haldol is more for hallucinations and Seroquel is more for mood. She said Rexulti is for mood and I'm on a good dose of that right now. She said I might have trouble sleeping if we decreased the Seroquel but I said aren't I on trazodone for that and she said yes. So in the end, we compromised on cutting the Seroquel in half so that I am now taking 150. I called the pharmacy to ask them if they'd rearrange my blister packs in accordance with my new script i.e. cutting the pills in half and putting the halves in each evening's blister pack. They said yes but not until tomorrow. This was about 11 a.m. this morning. The guy that answers the phone and mans the front counter there is always so negative! It's like everything is a huge burden on him. Sheesh! The pharmacist would've said, "Sure! We can get that done for you if you bring the pill packs in tomorrow!" It's all in the tone of the person I guess. So yeah I'm taking 300 tonight- unless I can find my pill cutter- and then hopefully 150 tomorrow night, etc. I really hope it helps the dry mouth. I'm having to take a mouth rinse that mimmicks natural saliva twice a day and to brush with a prescription toothpaste that I can't rinse or eat or drink after for half an hour. My face was SOOO swollen on Monday after I got those 7 fillings! Actually, I have a photo. Maybe I'll post it here. I look terrible though! The medical doctor said my migraine was from all the dental work I had done at once. I'm so glad they have that Toradol shot to "instantly" get rid of the migraine pain!
