I hear you about the meds.

I had a few bad reactions to SSRI meds with regular doctors and one of them put me through drug withdrawal so I tend to freak out at new meds...

But so far I love my lamictal and buspirone, they don't seem to be causing any of the horrible side effects that the other meds took.

I hope the weaning off of the seroquel goes well. I don't know if you tried but my psychiatrist put me on a set of supplements to try for my insomnia. Extended release melatonin, magnesium, and zinc... There was also a chinese herb but I couldn't take that one because it affects the thyroid and I'm having thyroid issues.

I wasn't expecting it to work because in the past only meds worked but you have to try it for a month before they'll prescribe sleepy meds but it worked for me. If you want I'll try and find the sheet.

I've been gaining weight too. It's scary. Especially because I've always been rather chubby. I may try a nutritionist too. Especially since despite my best efforts my body seems determined not to absorb the vitamins it needs.

I struggle with meditation unless it's guided which is a shame. Because I can visit the beach in my mind at the doctor's office but when I'm at home trying it... No such luck.
