Thanks for your responses.

I've been on Seroquel for 6 years. At first, it was used as monotherapy. Then it was used with Risperidone and Lamictal. Then just Risperidone. Then with Lithium. It doesn't sedate me any more. My psychiatrist keeps me on it as a mood stabilizer.

I'm not sure why I'm on 3 antipsychotics. I was only meant to be on Abilify to help the depression and Seroquel to keep a lid on the mania. She added Risperidone when I complained of anxiety. I think when I see her today I'll ask to discontinue the Risperidone to see if that will help the fatigue, because it's not helping my anxiety.

Underneath this skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
