Hi Formylovedone, I take 300mg of Seroquel. When I started with it at a lower dosage, I was very drowsy all day. After a week or so, these side effects vanished. Now I don't have any troubles during...
Thanks for all of your positive replies. You're right. Although I am on the very bottom now, things have changed back for the better health wise already. I am very thankful for my job. And it...
Think I also feel like a failure, since I slipped back into it... Perhaps that's what they call a relapse....
Just got back from holiday.. Had three weeks in LA and Vegas combined. When I came back the weather at home was below 40F and dark. The nice weather during the festive season in LA really did me...
Hi CamanoGirl, After taking my Seroquel in the evening, an extra Lorazepam will get me down when needed. When you take your Seroquel, you don't get drowsy after say 60 mins? Best of luck!!...
I also heard a lot about weight gain. Not some weight gain, but big amounts.. Would this be because of overeating, or is it something med-specific? Overeating is something I could prevent....
Hi CamanoGirl, call me Chris :smile: I an on the extended release as well. Almost fainted last night while stumbling to the bathroom... This medicine doesn't really go down well. I hope it'll ease...
Oh, and I also am taking It's Genetic's advice on the no coffee policy!! I really feel lots more at ease compared to when I drank coffee. (A lot more bathroom breaks as well :) )...
Hi there, Just visited my pdoc today and I just wanted to post an update here. I am going to start with Seroquel tonight. See how that's going to suit my needs. I remember when starting with...
Thanks again, Duly noted, and agreed upon....
Hi I.G. , Thanks for your insight. I must point out though, that I was drinking off and on, usually in the evening. Sometimes 5 days a week, sometimes nothing for weeks. But I fortunately was nowhere...
I guess you could be right.. You reckon all of that behavior could be desperate ways to try and break that cycle? I haven't been drinking any alcohol for about 4 months now, and drugs are absent even...
I was wondering, when any of you all are (hypo) manic, do you ever feel guilty or sorry while in that phase? The reason I ask is that I currently am banging off the walls... Should be working from...
So today I've had my first appointment with the psychiatrist. In another thread I was complaining about how slow things are going, but that might also be part of a bit of a mood issue back then...
Hi there, In my last post I mentioned that I was on my way back to a psychiatrist after 10 years. Three weeks later I have had just one appointment with a psychologist... The psychologist would talk...
Hi there, Thanks for your replies. Yes, keeping off of the alcohol etc is something I will certainly do. No coffee? Aahrgh. i got one of those nice Italian bean grinding espresso machines. And of...
Hi there! I registered to react on a topic a couple of months back. Been reading up a lot on this forum since. After a couple of months, I finally decided it's time to introduce myself. I am a 31...
Hi TikiTazz, Gripping text. Familiar emotions. Think I know that feeling, or at least in my own way.. On the one hand you don't want to bother the ones you love, for you know they'll hate it. But by...
!OMG! For me, this could be a bit of an eye opening topic. The start of the topic might be a bit old, but I really want to react. I Just recently sought help after I have been sedating myself with,...
