i had hospitalized in 2000 and diagnosed bipolar. i had been administered neurontin (mood stabilizer) and seroquel (antipsychotic) that i have taken to this day.
problem is...i sleep too much and have gained nearly 80 lbs. during treatment.
i have heard that switching antipsychotics (from seroquel, with a moderate propensity to cause weight gain, to geodon, with a more neutral effect) may help and i hope that geodon instead will allow me to lose some weight.
any insight anyone?
it would be much appreciated.
thank you
jt
