Hi Jimmyg,
I see my pdoc next week for what seems like the same issue- weight gain.Ive gained about 15 lbs in 2 mos since I increased seroquel to 300mg. I was able to tolerate seroquel at that dose, but it took about 2-3 weeks for the sedation to become tolerable.
I take provigil for sedation from antidepressant cymbalta. Is provigil available to you? perhaps you can try geodon again and take provigil for the sedation, which HOPEfully will go away after a while.
Thanks for your experiences and writing about this. Im not bipolar, but I do have intrusive thoughts and seroquel has helped me a lot with that. i think that klonopin also helps. i take .5mg on days when things seem out of control. if i take it in the evening, though, I definitely have a hangover the next day. drowsy and grumpy. grrr!
my next options are abilify or geodon. and of course exercise and diet. yep. welcome to 2007. the year of the blubber.
