seroquel dosage bipolar
What are some treatment options for obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Based on the symptoms I have, I undoubtedly have OCD, and sometimes it can become severe. I’ve tried antidepressants (different classes of them, too) to no avail. I’ve also tried (to a much lesser degree) atypical antipsychotics such as Seroquel and Abilify. Should I try the antipsychotics again at a higher dosage and give them more time? I stopped taking them pretty quickly because I was afraid I’d gain weight. Are there any useful psychological methods I can use to assuage my symptoms? Also, one of my doctors believes I may have a “bipolar spectrum” illness. If I do have that, how does it complicate my anxiety disorders? Thanks!
I hope that you are trying all of these medications from under the supervision of a medical provider. Do you realize that taking so many different sorts of medication will permanently alter your cerebral chemistry? You need to do some more research on your likely condition(s), and see a practioner, and do as he/she says. If you gain weight on a medication, there’s always exercise. It’s not the end of the world, I assure you. As for your tentative “bipolar spectrum” disorder, read up on that as well. I found one article that lists a little bit about the condition. The paragraph is near the bottom.
