In about a week I am seeing my psychiatrist and he wants to change my meds. I am second guessing him but I have a feeling he will want to switch me to an atypical antipsychotic from the two typicals I currently take, the three choices I seem to have if that is his plan are, seroquel, abilify and clozapine. Clozapine is right out, theres no way I would consider it at the moment (and I doubt neither would he). So that leaves seroquel or abilify. Both seem to be quite effective but have their drawbacks, Abilify causes akathasia which I think I already have (see my post above) and would like to avoid and seroquel is sedating. So how sedating in your experience would you say seroquel is? Im talking at psychosis doses here. A comparison which would really help me would be versus the amount of sedation from say dothiepin or mirtazapine both of which are at my boundary of acceptable sedation.
Thanks for reading,
Best regards Bunny
