I saw a psych finally (after three months) today
 He agreed the Seroquel was excessive. And he also said the rash is definitely from the Lamictal. So...he's having me taper off of Lamictal and Seroquel. He said I can just do what works with it for sleep. He put me on: Neurontin 300mg x3 Wellbutrin 100mg x2 Vistaril 50mg x4 I won't take that much Vistaril but he wrote it that way so I can have it for anxiety *and* to get to sleep during the weaning off of Seroquel period. I'm not sure if I'll continue the HCTZ (diuretic w/potassium) or the Inderal (blood pressure med - I don't have blood pressure issues but this was written for anxiety, to physically keep me from attacks...but I don't believe it has helped much at all). Any thoughts on this med combo? __________________

No comments on the med combo, but I'm so glad you are allowed to come off the Seroquel dose!!

Tomorrow will be the last time I ever take Seroquel AND Lamictal! Praying Wednesday night isn't too rough. I only took 200mg Seroquel last night and Im pretty sure I woke up at least every hour. But I resisted the urge to get out of bed and do something. My whole body is achey today.

Indeed it is difficult. I quit five days ago. Still sleep a bit crappy but coffee and Bupropion help with that in the morning

When you stopped the Seroquel, did you have nightmares? I'm battling. Both times along the lines of me being killed....
