I told my pdoc and he immediately switched me to seroquel. Well, it is sedating, that's for sure.

To be honest, I'm not very med compliant. I hate them all, except for Xanax. I know I should be responsible and take my meds. I know I'm playing with fire. But I still don't take them most of the time.

Take care.
I also use Xanax to make the agitation temporarily go away when it gets really bad. But I don't have a prescription for it, I get it from other people who have a surplus and are willing to sell, trade or share. I confessed this to the pdoc and she told me that was a bad idea. I was like no **** lol. But I haven't had other options until recently with getting insurance.
