> Lately when I come here I might get lucky getting one person to respond. If you do have something to add please do. I'm not here much anymore but I've been here since very close to the beginning but it doesn't mean that I don't need help. Even commiserating, you know?

> He switched me to Adderall XR generic and said if I want to go to IR Seroquel I could get it from Canada..sigh. I said did doc, I have this weird Pisa Syndrome from antipsychotics and I weigh 250 pounds and climbing. My normal weight used to be around 195.
> Without side effects I liked Seroquel but you get serious side effects and y'all know that. If a shrink sees good improvement on a med it's like they don't acknowledge that your *ss is twice the size than it used to be.
> Then I get a physical and it's the other way around.
> Sorry this is long, there is a question buried in there.
> One other thing that everybody here knows. They are passing out Seroquel like jelly beans..I think their sales are like 50 mil or bil.
> On the net I see people say my doc has me on Seroquel, a sleeping pill. oye Yes you'll sleep but you're taking an antipsychotic and you need to know that. One guy said, I'm taking Xanax, an antidepressant. I said you're taking a benzodiazepine and when you try to stop it you'll know.

> Sorry I'm very frustrated and my mood is dropping along with my Seroquel dose. I can't afford depression when it's so hard to keep the faith on disability. Am I concerned? No, I'm scared.
>Phil,
You wrote,[...please respond...I'm scared...].
Phil,
You can ask all the posters on the psych-med boards for their advise. You can go to the doc and ask for more drugs that could end your life. But just remember whose life those drugs are gonna be, so Phillip, save the last post for me.
