I’m of two minds on that, I want to quit because I know I will lose weight, but I am scared of losing my stability. I got responsibilities and can’t afford to destabilize. But oh I want to lose weight!

I'm so happy to learn that you slept! Haha, I had a dream about the little "bouquet of flowers" icon here on the forum. So funny 
Ahh, the AP thing is such a frustration. When I went off Seroquel (the low dose, just for sleep) I had lost 20 lbs. within 5 weeks. Now I'm back to taking between 25 - 50mg of Seroquel for sleep and even at that small dose I'm craving sugar. I'm quite sure I've gained weight already.
I do agree with your pdoc about regulating sleep, then decreasing your AP.
