Paige - have you had your blood pressure checked? The numbness and lightheadedness sound like what I felt like when I had extremely low blood pressure. Are you weaning off your meds with a doctor?
I haven't thought of my blood pressure being a problem, no. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it.

All of my med changes are being monitored by a doctor. She's taking me off Seroquel and switching me to Risperidal.

This lightheaded stuff is really getting old though. I really, really, hope that it goes away soon!
