Medication change

My doctor is taking me off of my Latuda and putting me on Wellbutrin and adding Seroquel later on. I am on perphenezine already. I have never been on Wellbutrin. Have you had a good experience on it?

Oh dear God. Not Seroquel. I hope it works for you why is he stopping the latuda?

It isn’t working for me except causing alot of side effects like a swallowing disorder and insomnia.

Yikes. That sucks I’m sorry you’re having trouble.

Wellbutrin is an antidepressant powerful but for me caused strange perception. And seroquil is one of the worst culprits for weight gain.

I’m sorry the Latuda didn’t work out!
Seroquel if effective, but it can make you tired and cause weight gain. Tell your doctor right away if you notice these things.

I think Seroquel is a great med, it makes me sleep at night (maybe a bit too long if anything) & it gives me energy during the next day. I haven’t really gained any weight on it & it actually allows me to lose weight without significant work put into it. It keeps me pretty stable, allows me to work my mind & it blocks out the most nasty things. It might suck at the start but can level out pretty fast, I hope that the switch in meds will work for you!
