oh i know seroquel, and Priadel is lithium. I dont know lofepramine, tho.
sounds like you're well medicated tho, which is a good thing. I wish you well.

lofepramine is a tricyclic antidepressant. I was on an SSRI but that and the seroquel together gave me dyskinesia.

that can happen, yes, and from what i've seen, dyskinesia is really disturbing.
thank you, for sharing. As a nurse, it's great to see people that are actually out in the world, surviving and thriving with mental illness. Working in a hospital, you tend to get a skewed view of 'patients', and sometimes nurses can forget that we're all just people.
