My GP suggested seroquel but I would rather leave that one alone for now... the weight gain and major sleepiness are not all that acceptable to me! (I prefer to take pills in the morning as it's when things are consistent for me)

Isn't Seroquel an AP? I've yet to hear anything good about any of those.
My pdoc wants me take mine at night, I think it's because it makes some people drowsy until you get used to it. But it was really hard for me to remember it at night so I started taking it in the morning, figuring that it was better to take it period than keep forgetting it at night. It didn't make me drowsy at all though.
I think a lot of pdocs suggest that first. But it also takes a really long time for it to work AND mine was titrated up over the course of about 6 weeks. Making the process even longer and more frustrating. AND I'm not even at my final dose yet!
