Seroquel does great for me. It stems the mania and gets me to sleep at night. It has not changed my eating habits, and I still have energy through out the day. Not a ton of energy, and especially not when depressed, but I can exercise on it.

Wellbutrin tends to make me forgetful. I see the pdoc tomorrow and am going to ask him if I can take a different anti-depressant.

Klonopin helps with anxiety thous not enough; I still get panic attacks pretty regularly.

No sex drive on these meds, except the Adderall.

Meds only help so much, but I do think I would be much worse without them. Everyone tend to have different reactions to the same medications, especially if you are on a medication mix. It is hard to know how you react until you take the med/meds.
