In reply to Low dose seroquel for depression?, posted by smartgirl on July 1, 2003, at 8:52:29
Hi there, I am new here and new to Lamictal and Seroquel. I have experienced chronic depression all of my life and do not respond well to SSRI's or other antidepressants (I get hypomanic). My mother was bipolar and the Dr. thinks I may have bipolarII with main symptom being depression. I started on Lamictal and could not sleep and I am talking about being wide awake all night. It was awful. So, he added 25mg of seroquel. I am sleeping like a baby. I am terrified of constipation (I have irritable bowel syndrome with constipation as predominant problem) and I also DO NOT want to gain any weight. The lamictal is 25mg too. I am very sensitive to medications so I want to keep the doses as low as possible. Did any of you experience constipation and/or weight gain on low doses of these meds??
Thanks so much, Tiss
