Blossom Starting Saphris on Friday Night

Medications
1

I saw my pdoc, this morning.

I currently take Latuda (80mg), Seroquel (700mg), and Lithium Carbonate (mood stabilizer) (600mg, 2x/day). The Seroquel has made me gain weight and I’ve expressed to my pdoc how much this bothers me. I don’t feel like the Latuda really does anything. I was on Latuda twice before, in the past, and it never helped much. So… I doubt it’s making a big difference now.

My pdoc wants me to try switching to Saphris, and dropping Latuda and Seroquel. To start, I will only drop the Latuda and start taking Saphris, instead. But I’ll stay on the Seroquel, for now.

If things are going well for a few days, I can try decreasing the Seroquel, slowly, with my pdoc’s recommendations/instructions.

I hope Saphris is a good med for me. (crossing fingers) Please wish me luck? :smiley:

i take seroquel too. i think it’s too sedating but that really doesn’t matter as long as i take it when i’m going to sleep.
