@JaneOnceMore It's great that you have found an affordable, great place to hang out. Sorry you didn't sleep so well though. Sorry for your experience with APs. I have been very lucky in that Seroquel has treated me well. There was a brief period I was put on Zyprexa, and I gained 15 lb. like that plus I didn't sleep well. I told my pdoc I wasn't going to take it even if he prescribed it, please, please put me back on the Seroquel and thankfully he did. But I know many people do not have such positive experiences with Seroquel.

@raspberrytorte - I'm sorry you are getting sick again. That is the one thing with having my daughter at home doing online school, no germs except what H brings home from his work. Still, I don't get sick very often...it's been years and years (5, 6?) since I was last sick (knock on wood!).

@Crazy Hitch - I'm sorry you didn't sleep well. Do you think the Wegovy could be messing with your sleep? Or do you often have sleep issues? I know with me, it takes Seroquel, trazodone, hydroxyzine & melantonin to knock me out, and even some nights that is not enough. But I have been a very poor sleeper way before bipolar, since I was a little girl and according to my mom as a baby and toddler too.

@LadyShadow How are you doing?

@Blue_Bird Dissociation sucks. I fortunately have not had it much these past few days, but when I do get it, it will often be extra inconvenient, such as I'm driving and really do need to feel more present in the moment and in myself.

Sorry for those of you I missed...I know I did, it gets hard having to type a reply on a different page than the posts. I am also reading a book and really want to get back to it
