Hi again...
A word about the anxiety... I had a bout of it while I was titrating up (a lengthy process). As soon as I reached a therapeutic dose (400 mg), I had no anxiety whatsover.
As far as insomnia, I take the lamictal with geodon and I sleep really well. Since I started taking them both at the same time, it's difficult to tell what's doing what.
Hopefully, if you continue taking the Seroquel, you won't suffer from insomnia.
Weight gain from meds is sooo frustrating. I gained a lot (a lot!) on Zyprexa and it wasn't responsive to diet or exercise. People give the advice of "diet and exercise," but it's not that simple. Now that I'm off the Zyprexa, the weight is literally falling off.
Wishing you the best,
Girl
