That's not completely ridiculous if you had been on it for a long time and it was helping you. Admittedly it could probably be as little as 50mgs per week or two weeks, but with APs and sensitivity to them, safety is better.

But within five days of going from 150 to 100 my mood had really deteriorated. The thing that really irks me is that I am taking sooo much other stuff. But I had this sneaking suspicion that the seroquel was doing something that the regular (remeron + pristiq) ADs were not. I wish things were simpler..

I understand

I do too -- 6 medications at fairly elevated levels are not something I relish -- lots of catch-22s and all...

> So far I am not really that worried about the diabeties. But I may ask for a fasting glucose at my next physical. It's not until December so I don't have to think about the "fasting" part of that for a while.

Its a good idea -- fasting really just means about 12 hours, so skip dessert and go to bed and get your test.

> PS. Where does yxibow come from?

Hah, that's on a need to know basis. :)

I have no idea actually -- I somehow invented this "nom de plume" by assembling little used letters together. It means absolutely nothing, which was the point I guess to have some privacy. "Avatars" stick.
