As mentioned, if you gain weight on AAP's, Metformin kicks weight gains butt.
On Zyprexa I had a six days stay in the hospital with really bad fever. 98.6 to 103.5 in under 30 minutes. My doc thinks it was NMS.
Seroquel, besides weight gain gave me Pisa Syndrome. My 'trunk' is slightly twisted and I lean very slightly to the left.
So, you can get serious side effects from AP's but you can die from eating bagged spinach.
When my doc said have an MRI for the Pisa Syndrome I did. Results..nothing remarkable. But I got to spend some time with the neurologist and talk about meds. Klonopin 1.5 mg...that's a pretty high dose.
Seroquel...Have you ever been psychotic? Nope.
He made me think, not easy.
BTW, an MRI of the brain is super loud. Wear those earphones.
How people treat you is their karma
How you react is yours.
