currently on:
1 mg klonopin
150 mg Zoloft
400 mg Seroquel

I got it prescribed for chronic headaches, I'v read it also treats bipolar.

The nuro doc said it wouldn't have any bad interactions...

Yeh my pdoc has added it to my mix. I asked him to originally put me on it so I could lose that last little bit of weight since I had to go back on stupid Seroquel. He then upped it because my moods were swinging enough that it was affecting my sleep and he said it would slow down my racing thoughts, I have OCD also. I've noticed a difference. He started me at 25 and he is keeping me now at 100 mg.

My brother in law takes it now for headaches from TBI. I have taken that as well. It's an anticonvulsant type of mood stabilizer, but like blacksheep79 I was given it to counter-act the weight gain from seroquel. I think it caused my daughter's cleft palate though.
