@*Beth* it has brought a smile to my face reading about your rollerskating these weeks. I totally understand your disappointment when the new med threatened that. My clumsiness has been an issue for years. It's actually reduced slightly. The consensus has been that Tegretol is the main culprit, so yes, moodstabilizers can sometimes cause this, too. I also think Lithium did, and maybe even Depakote. I also believe my bipolar, itself, has played a part. When I'm elevated, I get careless and do thinks that put me at risk. When depressed, lethargy and cloudy thinking may.

I only started taking the additional 200 mg Seroquel IR last night, because yesterday I knew I had to get up early. A little surprisingly, I woke up at 4 am and then 6 am this morning, and was then ready to start my day with my usual good energy. No sedation. After only one dose I won't judge its efficacy. You likely know that higher doses of Seroquel can be less sedating than very low ones. My pdoc increased it for moodstabilizing, primarily. Sleep aid only as might come with stabilization.

Hubby and I have no choice but to keep the house search rolling. No choice.
