Ok...I must ask: Is anyone else sensitive to meds? I am. I am most sensitive to anti-psychotics. Here are a few examples of side effects Ive gotten:

*Geodon-Ocular Dystonia
*Risperdal-Akathisia
*Abilify-ALLERGIC, my tongue/throat swelled
*Seroquel-severe weight gain and horrible anger!
*Lithium-acne, GI issues, affected my thyroid
*Tegretol-complete space cadet!
*Topomax-Dopemax for me!

And so on. *LOL* Pdoc told me she thinks I have a metabolic issue that makes it hard for me to take so many different meds. Im on Zyprexa for right now (with the possibility of stopping it in the near future) and Ive already gained five pounds! And that's with restricting what I was eating and healthy choices!

Im on trileptal now and hopefully things will go well. Ive been ok on anticonvulsants in the past.

I was just curious!

I got black furry tongue when I started taking Wellbutrin, but I don't think that's the serious kind of stuff you're talking about, so no.

5 lbs isn't too bad, was seroquel much worse than that?
