I hear what your saying....BUT. Don't you hate that when people do that ! I have to be honest to be a friend, but you need to trust your pdoc will have your overall best interests at heart here. I don't know how much weight you have added, but if he is any good he is going to notice, and well, you don't want to add another problem into the mix if you can help it; you know like diabetes etc.
Be straight with your pdoc. "listen doc, I don't want to change meds for XYZ reasons, but I am concerned about my weight gain which is ABC. Is there anything we can do about it without having to change the ........."
It's your body, but he has the knowledge of the drugs. Make him work for you.
And hugs with the weight gain thing. I know I put on a stack of weight with the Seroquel and am still trying to shift it all off. Can do.
