Hi,  


I got muscle pain in my upper body from quetiapine, low energy, unable to focus, and no concentration. I am taking the dosage of 300 mg a day before sleep. In the UK, any psychiatrist I met does not prescribe anything other than a single antipsychotic medication (so far I was recommended aripiprazole and lithium). I tried to decrease the dose to 150mg the same issue, but less.  
Following some research online, I noticed that doctors may prescribe multiple medications at the same time to balance out side effects, but any medication that may cause addiction is not given. For example for anti-anxiety they only give promethazine. What is surprising is that some videos of doctors on Youtube (lectures) advise taking antidepressant and stopping before manic episodes to balance out things, but this recommendation was never part of the treatment.   


Can you please advise what should I do in this case, should I just refer to a private psychiatrist (as NHS is limited in its capabilities) and should I combine any nootropics for focus and concentration? Many thanks.   


Regards,
