Ok - I have been doing pretty darn good taking 50mg of Seroquel at night (sleeping great) and 10mg of Prozac during the day. I had a little xanax or klonopin in during the day if the prozac gives me anxiety.
But - I have totally lost my sex drive. Is it because of the prozac or seroquel?
I'm wondering if I should switch my seroquel to abilify?
Can I combine Prozac and Abilify? The Abilify seemed to spark my sex drive, but also my hunger. I think the prozac helps calm my hugner.
I'm not sure what to do.

Abilify made me hungry too, but it also lowered my blood sugar, and lose weight. You might give it more time?

So, even though it made you hungry - you still lost weight? Did you ever get any shaky feeling - akathesia with it? Do you still take it? I wonder if there is anything you can do about the hunger? - besides eat!

Yes, I lost a lot of weight, my blood sugar was so low, I was just eating sugar(candy bars, cookies, juice, pepsi). Yes, akasitia, I guess you could call it. Shaky hands, sudden mucile twitches. No, I had to stop, it was making me worse. I was tired, not sleeping, anxious, thoughts out of control. I was eating more than I wanted to, just to keep blood sugar from going too low. It did not make me hungry. If I didn't eat I would get very dizzy, standing up i would almost pass out.
I had a bad experience with it, I tried to take it too long, and I was just getting worse, and worse. Some people do have good experience with it. They say it can raise your blood sugar, not for me though.
zyprexa,
Thats what I take now, and forever, i've tried them all, except for seroquel.
