@happy90 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

You want to switch antipsychotics, or your doctor is directing you to? What is the reason behind the switch? Any time you are changing medications, it is best to do it with the overview of your medical team.

Looking forward to hearing more from you as you share your story.

Hi, thanks for your replay. To be honest, I would like to change it on my own and go back to the prescription that preceded it. As for the reason, it caused a significant increase in my weight, an increase in triglyceride, LDL, and a decrease in HDL, in addition to that after conducting medical tests, it was found that I had hypothyroidism, so I decided to change it. I have another question that I would like to know, please. Is taking Seroquel XR for a month considered a long period of time?
