> Hi There,
I want to share some of my experiences because I saw that a while back someone was trying to switch from Risperdal to Seroquel and possibly Abilify. I did that exact same thing and have been on Seroquel since last February, on Abilify for about a year, and off of Risperdal completely for about 2 1/2 months (the doctor tapered me off of the Risperdal).
My meds are 1200 Neurontin, 150 Wellbutrin, 700 mg Seroquel, and 30 mg Abilify. I have minimal side effects-just a little dry mouth occasionally. I was very sleepy at the lower dosages of Seroquel, but the sleepiness went away as I went up in dosage.
i can sympathize with the weight problem-I gained about 20 lbs on Risperdal and I am still trying to lose the last 10 lbs of it. I didn't feel like myself at the higher weight.
As far as pets are concerned I have a cat whch I love dearly as long as she is not eating my college Psych homework which she did once.
Are you still considering a med change? If so I'd be glad to answer your questions.
Tammy
