Thanks for the responses ..

I know all psych meds have a laundry list of possible side effects .

For me at least is finding out what side effects im able to tolerate.

Seroquel xr for me had me gianing weight like crazy regardless of how strict i was on my diet . I have anorexia and have had it flare up over the years ,,earlier this year i was 120lbs now im 158lbs and i flipped out but early on in treatment with seroquel the fact it knocked me out was worth a little weight gain .. but now that my pdoc and i agree it is more metabolic sysndrome issue ,, we have decided on taking a test drive on Risperdal ..

I guess my rant for the day is ..... Seems every damn psych med has a truck load of sideeffects and we have to wade thru the mess to find the ones that we can tolerate .. unlike other illness's where the side effects arent as pronounced .

example: I have fibromyagia, been almost 2 years now , in the begining I was being tossed all kinds of pills to help with the pain ,, none of them honestly did a damn thing,. but I didnt have many side effects except the meds not working .

Wishing everyone a great day
