feeling much better now, not to many side effect that I'm experiencing just a little stoned first day today not so much. dry mouth but I already get that from my lithium. feeling of hunger comes and goes that's cool with me I guess as long as I don't want to eat all the time.
the rapid speech and repeating of thoughts has stopped, I think lol
and the feeling like I just have to go go go has has stopped too.
not sure how long it will last but in my 10 years on differant meds that is normal for me to feel level for awhile then losing control again. well we'll see how long it lasts this time.

Garry,
Seroquel has been a life saver for me, It took me awhile to get used to it. I have put on a considerable amount of weight but will take that just for the stability. Differant meds do work differently for people so just be diligent in your efforts to find the right combo.

when that happens to me, my pdoc usually up's my mood stabelizer (Lamictal) and/or my second anti-psychotic (Abilify).

Garry, how interesting that you go from up to down as the day goes on. I go the opposite way from tears in the morning to glee in the afternoon. I am now down from 400 mg of seroquel to 300 mg and starting to feel more energy.

Omg....I just don't know how ya'll take these high dosages of Seroquel. I've been on 50mg at bedtime for about 6 months and all I do is just sleep all of the time. When I tried knocking it down to 25mg. it didn't affect me at all. I was up all night like I didn't take anything. I usually just don't take it and stay up for a few nights, then take them and sleep for 24 hrs at least.

hey it's me again got an adjustment today now I'm on 200MG seroquel, 1,350MG lithium, 30MG buspar, and 500MG of depakote, I hope this works for me if not I have another appointment in 2 weeks.
Right now I am kind of in a mixed episode again, seems kind of funny that I keep ending up feeling this way, but I hope it ends soon. Can't wait to feel level again.

Good, the depakote should act as your mood stabelizer. I hear it works pretty good too.
