I've reached a point where seroquel is no longer working. I'm on Zonegran (which I love) Klonopin (as needed) Seroquel and now Ambien for sleep. Seroquel used to knock me out at night, but now all it does is make me dizzy and nauseous. I'm on 800mg. I've tried Zyprexa which made me gain weigt and messed with my blood sugar unless I was really careful about what I was eating. I've also tried Abilify with and without the Seroquel. Without the Seroquel it made me extremely angry and I had a meltdown at work after taking too many Klonopin wafers to calm down...seriously scary. When I took it with the Seroquel I had really bad headaches and constant heartburn and this was at 2.5mg. I have not tried Geodon and from what I've read I really don't want to. The only other atypical left is Risperdal which I've heard is horrid for weight gain and I don't need any help in that area since I'm working on losing the weight from all the other meds. As far as mood stabilizers go I've tried Lithium, Depakote and Lamictal. I just don't want my doc to take away the zonegran. It has been a great med even if I did have to nag her to put me on it. Any help is appreciated!
