Seroquel made me a zombie and felt hungover all the time. Thanks for your words. I hope you feel better too.

I understand what you mean about the side effects. I try to be positive when I try a new drug, but I either suffer from a side effect that I just can't bare. Plus I've been allergic to five of the antipsychotics already, my throat closes up. I had no other option I had to go back on the Seroquel and deal with taking diabetes medication. I know what you mean about the zombie effect, it's not fun. I have to drink some caffeine to snap out of it to make it to work. My pdoc doesn't like me consuming the caffeine but I've got to survive and make it to work.
What was your reason for trying the Latuda when you said the lamictal and lexapro was doing pretty good?
I wish you the best and hope you find the right combo to make you feel better.
