I am so sick of taking so many drugs- the ones for BP then the ones to counteract the side effects from BP meds; of course, the counteracting ones never actually helped with the weight loss. I've been good about taking the dfamn things for 15 years. That's taking up to 7 meds a day for 15 friggin' years.
At the same time, if I miss one dose of seroquel, I almost immediately pop up to hypo-mania.
I don't want to stop cold turkey, but I know my doc won't even consider finding new meds that have fewer side effects. Anyone know what I can do?
