[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 279116, member: 3444"] I'm sorry he's so unstable. I can relate. Last year, when mine was on Lamictal and Paxil for about 6 months before Lamictal gave him a rash... those were probably the best 6 months we've ever had. I got a glimpse of the man I thought I married. He's not the same on Trileptal, but he's also not as bad as he was before he started any medications. I remain hopeful that one day he'll figure out that he's got issues beyond his "depression" and will do something about it. Maybe one of these days one of his providers will call a spade a spade and confront him on some of the things I've been telling them about for years -- things husband thinks are a non-issue, or just a ME issue. Whatever. The sedation on Seroquel gets much better at higher dosages. Doesn't go away, but does improve. And it's much better for people prone to dystonias from the other APs -- difficult child 2 can't take Abilify or Risperdal or Zyprexa anymore because they all cause a dystonic reaction in him. So far no issues like that for the past year on Seroquel. Hang in there. I hope you are able to concentrate on your exams next week! The rest of the stuff can wait. [/QUOTE]
