@raspberrytorte I'm having a lot of trouble with lethargy and no motivation since starting just 50 mg of Seroquel. I'm not depressed at all, I just can't do anything. The thing is that otherwise it makes a HUGE difference for me. I didn't even know my head could be quiet until I was on this combination. I talked to my pdoc about this and I'm tracking some things for a few weeks and then I'll probably be backing of gabapentin a little (like 100-200 mg) because I'm on a high dose of that and she said it could be the culprit as well as cause weight gain. I know going down on gabapentin didn't work for you recently and I'm scared to try it but I need to feel like doing things again. Today I went to Walmart by myself and that was a HUGE accomplishment.
I hope we can both feel better! __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

I skipped 2 doses of Vraylar and the swelling in my feet is improving. My knees and hands, too.
It's not gone yet, but improving. I'm really disappointed that Vraylar didn't work out. My anxiety is much better and I was looking forward to a dose increase to maybe get at my depression. __________________ * Dx: Unspecified Bipolar and Related Disorder * Rx: Remeron, Prozac, Klonopin, Vraylar My avatar picture is a photo of the Whirlpool Galaxy I took in April 2023.

Sorry @Scooter9 I had exactly the same side effects on risperdal both times I tried it and both times it was helping me.
So frustrating! I hope your next med is your solution. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

I got some Align delivered from Walmart. My GI told me yesterday to try it. I was in the bathroom long enough to concern my mom so I took the first one tonight. I'm hoping I can get rid of my other stomach meds and just take this.
Mood wise things have been ok but my anxiety has been rough today. My mom was kind of annoyed that I was "protecting" my cousin who is not talking to my uncle because of a bad divorce from 2008. Its not that I was protecting her or sticking up for her, its just you can still like the person just not their behavior. Plus theres a lot of other people involved in this situation besides that one cousin. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Yeah. I absolutely CANNOT reduce my gabapentin dose. I feel so much better anxiety wise now that I'm back on 800mg 4x. As in, no anxiety at all anymore. It sucks seroquel is making me so fat and lethargic and lazy because I have zero psychosis on it. No paranoia. No negative entity. No questioning my reality. No snapping my wrists with rubber bands to make sure I'm not dreaming. No hallucinating my family being home when they're not. No fear of reflections.... you get the idea. I'm weaning my own fat *** off it though. I'm on 50mg of loxapine still. That's just going to have to be enough to keep the entities at bay. I'm too close to 200lbs for comfort. At this rate I'll be 300lbs by next year! Unacceptable. Not good. Not okay. I have to take matters into my own fat hands. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days.
