Hi Jeroen,
>some hope maybe?
Yes, there is hope for you Jeroen :-)
>seroquel low dose for few weeks then evaluate the eye problem
I think you should gradually increase the dose of Seroquel until you're on an effective dose. I wouldn't take asenapine until you're sure that Seroquel isn't helping. If you increase the Seroquel gradually, it may take several weeks to reach an effective dose. Don't rusk into trying asenapine until you have given Seroquel a chance to work.
>what should i be aware of when i take that new drug
When a drug is as new as asenapine, very little is known about its side effects. Because Seroquel and Leponex have been around for many years, a lot is known about their side effects. Leponex has been proven to be a very effective drug. Asenapine is very new, it might be very effective but it might turn out to be useless! Also, it may cause side effects that are not yet known. I don't think you should take asenapine until you've tried Seroquel and Leponex. If Seroquel and Leponex don't help, you could try asenapine.
