Lurker coming out with a question
| Tue, 10-10-2006 - 11:25pm |
Hey everyone, I've been lurking around here for a good long while. I finally decided ot show myself cause I ahve a question. My doc recently (OCt 3) switched me from Serequel 100mh to Abilify 5mg. I am completely off of the Serequel now. My problem is now that I have lost my appetite. Just since I've started my Abilify. Anyone else experience this? I'm also on Lamictal 100 mg. Not that I'm complaiing that I'm not hungry, but I'm doing La weightloss and I have to eat a ton of food nad I dont know what to do.
Thanks

Hey there! One of the icky side effects from Seroquel is that it makes you crave and eat sugars and carbs. So, it makes sense now that you aren't takingit that you aren't hungry. I think your body will adjust in a week or so.
I hope you keep posting! We love new friends.
Hugs,

Hey Jamie!
Yep...good old Seroquel...I'm tapering off it now...I took it around 8 last night...ate an english muffin around 9:00 and a bowl (big bowl) of cereal around 11. HATE HATE HATE it...it also gives me nightmares and very vivid dreams. I've gained like 8 - 10 pounds on it in a few weeks. Only a night or two left, and I can't wait to get off it. I'd just started losing weight and now this. UGH UGH UGH.
I'm glad you're sticking around!
Hugs,
Keli
