Change of Medication

I dropped seroquel last night and added geodan 40mgs.  I discussed the benefits and the risks with my pdoc.  I did not sleep at all last night or this morning.  It is 10:35pm and I need to get to bed.  I was told by the nurse today that I could take the ambien cr.6.25. Hey I have no problem with discussing my meds here with BipolarConnect.  I do expect some feedback.  Like John McManamy made the statement in one of my questions which I got a good response and appreciated it about weightgain and setting me up for diabetes.  I have been giving this a thought and seroquel is a big one for that.  I have high cholesterol,triglycerides,weightgain of over 15lbs. and don't want to get diabetes so I am trying this out.  I will list the side effects if I get them as I go. 
Gee, I wish I knew what John McManamy was on.  It is a puzzle cause he never said but he does pretty good at his.  I know also that he states he is not a doctor,etc. too so I am not taking his advice but appreciated it due to I had been thinking of that anyway. By the way antipsychotics are about the only meds that keep bipolar under control the best but I have never had a psychosis.  Your opinion out there means alot to me also.  Goodnite!
