Anxious about replacing Seroquel with

Posted by Llurpsie_Noodle on January 16, 2007, at 18:25:43

Geodon or Abilify.

Reason- I've gained about a pound or so a week since starting seroquel at 300mg. unacceptable blubber.

Also anxious because I do have a tendency towards having some muscle twitches and tics. Even though a small dose of klonopin will relieve those, I'm not sure that I should be messing around with a med that is more likely to cause akasthesias and dystonias than seroquel.

my current meds
120 mg cymbalta
300mg seroquel
200mg provigil
.5mg klonopin, many days

my current symptoms
munchies
hedonia (that is, wanting to do fun stuff, rather than work lol)
weight gain
muscle tics, esp in legs and when I'm in trance state, also face.

my current dx
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with Depression and general anxiety (oh, what the hey-hey throw in some panic for some lively CrRuncH!)

my desired condition
slender, witty, bright, wonderful. In short, I would like to be Karen_K. (but I want to retain my current husband).

thank you all for your helpful suggestions.
(did I mention that I'm really anxious about switching meds? I've never switched meds in my life, I've only added. :( really really scared :'(
