Pumpkin - that sounds a lot like me! My GP actually wanted to put me on seroquel when she agreed to take me off the sertraline - I said NO because 1) I had made it clear I didn't want things with a lot of weight-gain and 2) I have a family history of diabetes.
The psychiatrist suggested lamictal, which was good because it seems to be the only mood stabilizer that I am even willing to try - I'd rather go sans-meds.
My pdoc wanted me to start at 25mg for a week and then go to 50mg, but I said that I wanted to take a VERY slow work up... so he agreed to 25mg for 2 weeks and then the 50mg.
I've opted to make it even slower... and have cut them in half so that I'm taking 12.5 for 6 days... then will do the 25mg for a week... and then 37.5 for 6 days and then the 50mg. So far I have no nothing, but I'm only on day 4.
