Currently I'm being treated with two antipsychotics; Aripiprazole and Quetiapine but I'm feel uneasy being on two APs especially as both have caused heart-related issues in the past.

I recently restarted Quetiapine and already feel bigger :(, though it's eased my paranoid/psychotic-type symptoms.

So I was wondering if anyone here is being treated with one AP and a mood stabiliser? I know all meds have side effects but I'm hoping mood stabilisers may be more weight neutral (??)

Does anyone have experience on APs + mood stabilisers?

Also I'm not 100% BPD is my only sole psychiatric issue (due to how I was diagnosed + how I've responded and acted to meds), What would you say are some good open-ended ways to get your MH team to listen / hopefully re-evaluate my presentation?

Any help / advice is greatly appreciated :)
