He believed my case was mild yet he still went for the strong stuff.
I think they do that for rapid stabilization---my doc tried Seroquel low dose first but I had a reaction and to be fair I was starting to lose compliance---I kind of left the hospital ama because it was so boring it was killing me. He then prescribed risperidone---I went up a bra size and in weight and was like I'm surprised they don't give this to women who want and increase in cup size without going under the knife.
