Hello,
I'm so excited that I found this group. I have been searching for people, like me, who would tell me their experiences, first hand.
I've been on a combination of prozac (80mg), busPar (60) and xanax (.25 x 4/day) for over three years. I've been slowly deteriorating for about 5 months. My doc put me on Zyprexa, which was amazing, but....I gained 5 pounds. As a former self-injurer, and bulimic, I couldn't handle the weight gain. It was a death sentence. Since then, it has been virtually impossible for me to lose these pounds, and believe me, I have gone to extremes! I tried geodyne, forget it, I slept all day. He wants me to try Seroquel. That's how I found this forum. I was reading Mimi's posts and wanted to know if she/he was doing okay, and still taking the medication. I'm afraid to take it. I couldn't bear more weight gain. I would rather die. I should state that I probably wouldn't have a weight problem to the average person. Yes, I wear a size 2 or 4 at most, but to me, I'm HUGE. So please respond accordingly. No amount of reassurance about my weight will assist me in any way. I need to know if seroquel will help, or put the pounds on. Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
