The drool is disgusting, worse than the pee incidents (which I seem to have under control now that I take all but 50 mg at night). I have cogentin to see if it will control the drool but have been waiting to make one change at a time. I have my AM and PM doses adjusted now but still have some adjustments to make for sleep (my pdoc was right and this does not make me fall asleep. It makes me tired through the day which should improve now but not at night) and I don't want to not know what is causing what.

The weight gain scares me. I'm not craving carbs any more than I was on Seroquel and if my mom's scale is accurate I've gained 4-8 lbs. I am hoping this is related to spending half the month IP and the other half too tired to do much but I already had so much weight gain and really wanted the seroquel being gone to lower my weight. But my family dr says I can try metformin so hopefully I can get that set up and started fairly soon.Having energy to exercise would also be nice. I just took a long walk with my mom and her dogs and I'm exhausted from that but it's by far the most I've done in a month.

I hope you are feeling good and things get better for you now that you've gotten that worked out. I guess they are serious about telling us not to miss doses.
