Questions on Seroquel ?????

Posted by ricker on October 31, 2008, at 13:42:07

I have some questions regarding Seroquel and my upcomming p/doc appointment.
I had mentioned earlier that I experienced severe akathisia while on pimozide in 1989.
I have most recently tried lamictal and experienced too many skin related side effects.
I have depression/anxiety...20 years. My moods are quite mixed....no mania, but rather, depressed, aggression, irritability and the occasional "normal" moment.

I am currently on; Zoloft 75mg, Remeron 30mg, Clonazepam 0.5md bid and tapering off Lamictal.

My p/doc would like to try an A/P to replace Lamictal as I've been unsuccessful with prior mood stabilizer trials.

I am considering Seroquel for the following reasons;

- sleep aid, I can eliminate Remeron as I take it for sleep only, there should be a trade-off in weight gain between the two??

- augment zoloft to increase A/D benefits??

- act as mood stabilizer for irritability??

- low risk for akathisia as compared to pimozide?

- I have severe tinnitus, it may reduce some of the terrible ringing in my ears/head??

I would very much appreciate any input. Please comment on my "wish" list.

Thanks to all for your support..... Rick
