@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 |
