They work with these drugs all the time and most likely have a lot of patients on them. He may be able to recommend somehting to you that can stop it, or simply reassure you that he has seen this before and it is transient.

>Seldom,
You're right, I should call. There is $0 charge as I'm in Canada. I just doubt they'll be able to give me a meaningful answer. Slept OK last night w/o the Seroquel but I won't skip it again without talking to SOME doc. I'm also a little concerned that they'll just take me off the Nardil because they were nervous about giving it to me (or anyone) to begin with. I would hate to lose it because it's actually working, the first thing that's worked in a VERY long time. Thanks for your concern!
