Why does it seem some times that we have to choose one or the other? I just got back from my primary care and she said there isn’t much we can do safely at this point except stop the Seroquel again. I have done this about 10 times because of weight gain but then my mood crashes. So the only med that works on my depression makes me gain 90 pounds but to lose the weight I have to stop the med and then I get depressed. I have a hard time exercising because I have a very arthritic knee and can barely walk up a flight of stairs. So now my dr gave me some diet ideas but she said I most likely have metabolic syndrome from all the meds I am on.

It is just not fair that we can’t have good meds without the terrible side effects.
