I think it's a good drug but I was not prepared for this level of tired. Last night I slept 15 straight hours. I have forced myself to be up sooner sometimes but then I just get even more tired for the next 3-4 days. I get exhausted loading the dishwasher; I don't know how you are managing with kids.
I am fairly sure I need dose adjustments. Maybe I need Nuvigil. I hate to complain because I feel so much better but this lethargy is a big trade-off for feeling ok. I will deal because I have no other choice but I'm becoming very curious how many hours I could sleep if left alone.
I am also gaining weight way too fast. I'd hoped to lose Seroquel weight or at least have it balance each other out but no, I now weight more than ever before. My family dr agreed to metformin so I'm going to get in touch with him about that this week. If I have the energy of course.  I don't want to change much but I also don't want to gain much more.
Trade-offs...
