Have managed to reduce more of my peripheral meds

Medications
1

Have reduced:

Omacor (reduced then quit)
Procyclidine (reduced then quit)
Buspar (reduced then quit)
Gabapentin (reducing)

This has taken me about three months so far. Will take another 6 weeks to come off the gabapentin.

Still taking:

60mg fluoxetine
60mg depixol depot
600mg quetiapine

Ideally I would like to increase the depixol to 80mg and reduce the quetiapine to 400mg - in an attempt to curb the appetite.

I am quite chuffed with myself. I feel I have been proactive in my pharmacological care whilst not being foolish. Reducing meds very slowly has been the key for me. I would like to add sarcosine but only when I have finished tweaking meds.

Seems cool. I will call my pdoc tomorrow, see if I can schedule an appointment. I’ve been really anxious lately, going to ask for gabapentin.

theres little difference between 400 and 600 seroquel. my suggestion would be to gradually take a few days a week when you take 400 and maintain 600 for most of the days. maybe start with 400 a day a week. in no time youll be on just 400 and youll probably lose a little weight and be able to think clearer.

hopefully someone doesnt flag this comment.
