She said with the Seroquel, its different than you'd think. That the lower doses have the higher sedation, and the higher you go, the lower the sedating it is.
I don't know, I just know so far I don't like it, and after last night - eating everything insight, it lost the one star I gave it before. It's now got a big fat 0 out of 5 stars.

Oh Seroquel ... Eeeek
I gave it a test drive , I'm anorexic and I gained weight tossed me right out of my remission I had worked so hard to get to. The constant hunger that you can never fill you can be about to literally burst but you nom nom nom nom day and night , hell my sofa even looked tasty. So that med got dumped quick .
My Pdoc and I decided to give Invega a whirl. It works on my anger irritation bouts of psychosis and anxiety really well , No side effects , no increase in hungry, really not a single bad side effect... First week or two I felt kinda weird , Nothing horrible , just weird. But it resolved. I stayed on it 8-9 months.
I have dropped my meds with Pdoc approval. I cycle on medication and off . So I feel no need to ingest chemicals daily if I'm still going to swing. I'm Hypo/Mania right now ,Im enjoying the hell out of it.
I know the drill, I am hoping for a soft landing when this turns ugly, But I know how this works and I know how to ride it out.
I hate Big Pharma .. I mean as if all us people who struggle need a medication that makes you eat anything that doesn't move? Yeah I don't think that's going to be helpful.
I do hope you can find a Pdoc as I think you will get a better treatment plan. Don't settle , find the best treatment plan for
you
