Grr... Seroquel is that way also. How are your Vitamin D levels? I live in the Pacific NW and mine were REALLY low. I only say that because when you Vitamin D levels are higher, your cholesterol/ lipid panel will go down slightly. Google it. I learned about it in a Food and Nutrition class. Usually during the summer when we have sun on a consistent basis, my Vitamin D goes up and cholesterol down. Just one thing to think about.
