[QUOTE="MorbidCaterpillar, post: 912533, member: 197592"] I mentioned it to my GP today about trying something other than Quetiapine. He thinks it would be a good idea but wants to wait for a couple of months until my diabetes and blood pressure are under control. I'm already on Valproate, and never found that was too bad with regards to my appetite, so I'm happy to stay on that and have them try another AAP other than Quetiapine. So I'll wait for a couple of months but I have it in my diary to chase up about it. The GP had to increase my blood pressure meds today, oh what fun. And I need more bloods done in ten days because my platelet count is off (I've never got my head around this, although I should as I had my spleen out 23 years ago - but no one explained anything to me back then). So basically, I'm a walking pharmacy at the moment. I've lost 9lbs in the past three weeks though through eating healthily three times a day with the odd snack, so I'm hoping some of these problems might correct themselves when I get down to a good weight.
