Hi I am starting 25 mg of Seroqual for my rage/anxiety and spiraling behavior due to BP2 and BPD...
I started last night and a few qs:
I had a weird sleep as always first night on a new med freaks me out and I can't judge for a few days... However really tired today, have sinus headache, and not so motivated to sleep or go out (but will make my BF force me out lol)
So- do I need to be concerned with weight gain at this dose?
I'm trying to lose 10-20 lbs to be in normal BMI with lowish carbs. I had ED history and don't want to start back with scale addiction... Should I measure blood sugar? (I am paranoid and bought testing kit few years ago due to family history - and it's always been perfect).
Do the headaches and groggy feeling subside at some point?? I def will not put up with that!
But I recall having to adjust to Lamictal and some side effects that subsided. I'm willing to give it a week and see how it goes...
My Pdoc prescribed Abilify but for some reason was $600!! Vs $19 for Seroquel ummmm hello????!
