cybercafe, 7 hours of sleep sounds like a godsend to me ...it seems, since i was initially administered seroquel a couple of years ago, that i have been sleeping my life away.
i am now attempting a trial of topamax, titrating slowly, to see whether it might reduce my weight, otherwise i would get right to a second trial of abilify. it is though in my very near future as a hopeful solution to both the weight i've gained and also the sleepiness.
