fern, that seems a shame that your doc won't get 10 mg capsules made for you at a compounding center. That could really make the process a lot easier for you.

Wild Coyote, would you consider splitting your low dose pill? When I was being weaned off Geodon, as fern is doing, my Seroquel XR dose went up so sleep wasn't such an issue for me. But I know that at this point in my life, lowering Seroquel XR would decrease my sleep, unless I was depressed with hypersomnnia. Probably it would decrease my sleep anyway. That's helpful about the Y and possible discounts for the disabled. I would never think to ask for that there.

BethRags, that sounds great that you joined the Y. I hope you really like it and stick with it.

Seroquel regular was more weight unfriendly than Seroquel XR is. Really, for me, Seroquel XR is not that bad in terms of weight gain. I know it is for many people, but I do hope such reports don't deter others from trying what could be a very helpful medication. For me, medications like Depakote, Zyprexa, and Trilafon were significantly more weight unfriendly than even Seroquel regular, let alone Seroquel XR. And yet, I have read reports of people not gaining weight on them.

Today I is the 1st day of that time of the month, for me. In recent months, it has been a little rougher than it had been in the past. I'm not sure why. Anyway, it could be worse. I shouldn't really complain.
