When I started meds 30 years ago, I weighed 170. I'm almost 100 pounds heavier now thanks to Zyprexa and Seroquel.
I had a two week severe depression and anxiety out the *ss. That was at 600mg's. I told my doctor that I upped Seroquel to 900 and he said let's go with that. I didn't realize that it hasn't been tested at that dose. He had to talk to Medicare to get the dose approved.
I've started walking and still gained 7 pounds in a week.
Now I'm pissed. I want off of this sh*t but I have few other options unless someone here has a miracle pill that is covered by Medicare.
The anxiety and depression were so bad that I couldn't really function. Even if Medicare covered a 'newer med' it will get me into the "donut hole" quicker where they don't pay about 55% of the cost. BTW, I'm on 2000mg of Metformin. It worked amazing at one time. I think the AP dose is so high now that Metformin doesn't do sh*t.
Sorry for my language, you should hear me in person. I'm not willing to get on another older AP because that opens a whole new bag of problems. So, wtf is one supposed to do?
