Hi Jenna. Don't worry about the long post - I've posted much longer than that.
How long have you been on Seroquel? Weight gain is a possible side effect, but it only affects 6% of patients. Is your weight gain sudden and rapid and out of the ordinary? Are there any other changes in your life which might account for it?
How long have you been on Lamictal? My wife was diagnosed with Bipolar II in May, and it took over a full month for her to really feel the positive effects.
You mention about your husband "lately he just doesnt see what im going through and im not getting the support." . How much are you telling him about what you're feeling and experiencing, and how much are you keeping to yourself? Also, how much reading have the both of you done about Bipolar II disorder? Speaking from experience, especially as a guy, it's extremely hard to support someone who's suffering from a disease that isn't understood.
