Seroquel: This is about the only anti psychotic I haven't hated. I'm having horrible indigestion on 200mg. The lower dosages I never had a problem with, 100mg totally killed my depression granted I did have a few hypo episodes on that dosage. I can also sleep with Seroquel as opposed to some other medications.

Latuda: I can't even say I liked this medication. It it by far the worst medication I have ever been on. It didn't do anything for my depression, if anything I felt more depressed. It could not put me to sleep. I was even on Ambien and I still couldn't sleep with this medication. The whole counting calories was a giant pain. I got like massive brain fog three hours after taking it. I also had horrible muscle spasms and aches on this medication.

I honestly have not had a good experience on any of the anti psychotics.

It is also helpful seeing other peoples experiences on the other anti psychotics.
Do you think you were situationally depressed on Zyprexa (e.g., depressed because of weight gain and other side effects), or do you think depression was a side effect?

And yep Latuda didn't help me either. It seems to be a "love it" or "hate it" med. I've never heard of anyone being indifferent about it.
