RS ended up coming straight back home because his flaky friend wasn’t even there when he got to his shop. He knew I was upset and when his friend didn’t even show up (it had been an hour since he first requested help) RS just said screw it snd came home and. We went out to this wildflower preserve and walked around for awhile which I think is just what I needed. It is beautiful out today, very nice day to be outside, especially compared to the last few days with extreme heat. I feel much better now and RS feels better that he decided to spend time with us instead of waiting for his friend to show up.

As for the craving and constant bingeing, I think I figured that out! I was like damn I just feel like I do when I have PMS but all the time now. You know when else I felt like that? All the time I was on risperidone, paliperidone and haldol. All of them skyrocketed my prolactin. It would absolutely make sense that I did not start out with this eating behavior, that it’s been building the longer I take seroquel.

It’s pretty messed up because seroquel is one of the AP’s that’s not supposed to raise prolactin. But apparently if you have a sensitivity, which I seem to have, it still can.

So I have a dr appt next Friday and I’m going to ask her to order a blood test for prolactin. If I’m right I’ll have to go back to the endocrinologist and see if there’s anything they can do medication wise. I can’t get off the seroquel, it’s the only thing that works. So I’m also going to have to just try some behavioral skills to beat back the cravings and binge eating behavior.
