My doctor increased my seroquel from 25mg
to 100 mg and it really isnt helping too
much with sleep. I have been up to 300mg
before and i just didnt like it because it
was making me huge going all the way up to
217lbs from 180.
I have noticed my energy levels have come
down and I dont wake up as fast in the
morning (sleepy for a long period) however
I am still only getting 5-6hrs max of
sleep.
Interesting thing though..I met a woman on
the internet that came down to see me and
yes sex was involved and for the first
time I really felt loved. I slept like a
baby on just 25 mgs of seroquel when she
was here by my side. Amazing what a lil
lovin from a woman can do.
I think Im going to reduce my seroquel
back to 50mgs to combat the weight issue.
I have started on the South Beach diet
because I had real good luck with it.
Funny thing..2 days ago I weighed 187.5lbs
and today I weigh 194.. that is definately
not cool. The doctor did increase my
lamictal to 200 from 100mgs and Im
beginning to feel better (not depressed)
Sad thing is,, doctors dont really care if
you become big as a house. I guess because
it isnt happening to them. I could be
wrong. I do know one thing though, at low
doses of seroquel my metabolism cranks and
I feel like I have a little more
testosterone. Im going to try and replace
the 100mgs of seroquel with some
meditation, gratitude list, and
affirmations. Challenge my thoughts like
my counselor says
So I guess my question would be this: Does
seroquel do something to your metabolism
(chemistry in the brain) or does it just
make you feel better so you eat more?
