I have always (anecdotally, from my own experiences with AD's) felt that Histamine 1 receptor affinity = weight gain, mostly through increased appetite. It is also causes the most sedation/brain fog.
Seroquel @ 150mg is driving me nuts, re drowsiness, brain fog & zero mental energy/drive for anything. Sure it makes me sleep and has removed my anxiety, but it leaves me so brain-dead & flat!
I'm wondering why some days, though, I've felt agitated depressed, and earlier on, felt hypo-manic with loads of pressured speech???
I'm looking at Geodon for it's better weight gain/sedation profile & Abilify possibly. Especially at low doses.
Zyprexa may be too heavy hitting for me.
Thanks again.
