She had upped my Seroquel to 300 last September which dried my eyes and mouth out and gave me 7 cavities at once- I couldn't wear my contacts. It took being IP to get me off the Seroquel. Now I'm on Haldol and it's working just fine.

Here's something...I have seen right around 35 pdocs in my life and something I have discovered is that when I WANT to go off a med they often refuse. When I ASK for a med, or a med increase, they seldom agree. Perhaps one way to reach my pdoc on Tuesday is to *insist* that I come off Lamictal (which I'd like to, but I'm quite sure she'll disagree). Then she'll probably agree to the Gaba increase.
I have found that many psychiatrists are weirdos. And power-trippers.
