Hi Krissy. Whenever my pdoc starts a new med with me he discusses the class of med it is, the diagnostic reason, the hopeful outcome and side effects to watch for. He discusses risks and whether or not they warrant taking the new med.
He always returns my call if I have a pressing question that cannot wait until our next session.I think you need to list all of your meds and discuss them with your doctor. Ask him what class they are, why you are taking them and what improvement you should expect to see with them.
I know you've worked on all of this for years. It is important that you talk specifically about the Seroquel with your doc. It may be he is giving it just for sleep. I hope not. On the other hand he may have a broader clinical picture in mind with the use of Seroquel. Just be very sure and informed about why you take any meds.
Good Luck.
