why does she want off seroquel? Is it tiredness, or weight? Zyprexa still makes you tired, which is a very nice aspect of it. I think z is better at mood fixing.
Did you also take z?
zoloft I take with z. I'm taking perphenazine, zyprexa, zoloft and wellbutrin. The wellbutrin is for energy which zyprexa lowers, so does p. I'm not really sure if perphenazine is doing much now. Its an AP too, but not for mood. I guess it was getting me by when I was on a reduced zyprexa. My doc wanted so see if P would replace z, because of weight. The zoloft is deffenetly helping, depression.
No side effects for me with zoloft. Remeron was very sedating. More so than zyprexa and it made me eat like no tomorow. Rem is not the same type of AD (anti-depressant) at zoloft. zoloft is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), Rem is an SNRI (norepineprin). I just read that its used for major depression. Norepinephrin is a different type of messenger in brain. Dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrin are the 3. You basicly get a different effect from the 3. If she is bipolar rem probably wont work. Zyprexa, depakote, lamictal, are some that would. Depakote didn't do much for me, at a high dose and no problems stoping it, I was taking zyprexa at time. lamictal didn't help much either. Everyone acts differently to the different meds. One which is good for one could be awful for anouther. Depakote will also put on a lot of weight. Lamictal won't.
