Seroquel, ahhhh. I have been on it for about 8 years at various dosages.
I love it and hate it. Yes it almost always helps me sleep, but at times the dose had to be upped.
I have gained 90 pds on it. I take Metformin to protect me from getting diabetes from it. In the morning I take Nuvigil to get rid of the fog.
I had finally weaned of it in December and was starting to loss weight and feel good. Then my only child died on1/3/13 and I went back on it. UGH
Earlier this week I was having a very hard time, my PDOC said to take 600mg at night. It was horrible, I had restless legs, I tossed and turned. It was like it had the opposite affect.
I am starting to wean off it again. For me if you have to take two other meds to counteract another meds side effects than there must another answer.
I am DONE with seroquel ! And here is to finally losing weight
