I am type 2 on insulin and metformin. I have quite a few medical problems as well as diabetes and am on a lot of medication.
When I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago my diabetic conssultant was worried about all the drugs, especially the quetiapine, which is an antipsychotic. In discussion with him and my psych team i then came off the quetiapine very slowly. However, my psychiatric symptoms have come back so back on the quetiapine.
My question is this, what is so bad about antipsychotics? My consulant is insistant that I come off it. Surely it is better ALL my problems are dealt with? Has anyone else had this experience? Please help!
