Weight gainers! So far I haven't gained anything...in fact I've still lost 2 lbs but I am concerned as I have been eating perfectly well and exercising. I was losing 1 to 2 lbs a week. That changed with the addition of Seroquel...BOO!!! I have taken Navane for months and no issue but my pdoc is planning to add Depacote. That makes me very concerned. My pdoc told me to cut my antidepressant in half when I was out of my mind manic but I was too afraid to do it. I won't survive another depression like the last one and so far I have avoided the dreaded crash. My pdoc says when patients have psychotic symptoms, and especially since I am still paranoid, that she generally decreases the antidepressant but since I am on my way to sanity she said it is fine to leave it alone. She said that everytime I become full blown manic, it leaves the equivelent of a scar on my brain that can cause cognitive decline and may lead to a greater risk of dementia and alziemers disease. Anyway, anyone take several weight gainers at the same time and still lose weight? Anyone take several sedatives and still stay awake? I am likely getting a part time job as well and will need to function and stay awake. My pdoc said I can stretch out my seroquel to 3xs a day. Will that help?
