> I'm thinking of going on it. What do you not like about it? Lamictal gave me Stevens Johnson although it did help for a while. I use Ambien to sleep and figure if I need a sleeper, I might as well get some antipsychotic benefit for my mixed states depressions.
Fwiw, seroquel kocks me out for at leat 15 hours, even at a tiny amount, and then I am renedered useless and depressed for another 8 hours after that!
I really only use it as an "escape" drug (which is of course, abuse) or if I haven't slept in several nights.
I know a lot of ppl swear by it...I guess I just can't handle it.
