Thanks for the replies, everyone.

It was getting pretty scary.

I got some sleep last night...more than I thought I would, and so far I feel a lot better.

I'd rather feel like my usual crappy self than how I felt yesterday. I've been bad like that a few times on my own, but this time it had to be related to the pills. It's too much of a coincidence.

I'm going to relax as much as I can today. Thanks for caring, everyone. It means a lot.

Seroquel seems to be one of those drugs that people either respond very well to or very badly.
Everybody's chemistry is a bit different!

I hope this isn't an indicator of things to come.

There are lots of other meds out there. One of them is sure to help you. Keep looking! HOpe you have a good day today!

Do you mean, like, if your experience with Seroquel was so negative, maybe it would be the same with other drugs?

I took 17 different psych meds before they found the ones that work for me. I take 4 now, at the same time (plus 2 other meds for non-pysch issues). And they are always tweaking them a little this way, a little that way, in response to my fluxuating moods.

I'm glad you feel better today. Hang in there!

I was given seroquel about 2 yrs ago. I got so sick on them. I got high too. And that wasnt my idea of helping. I refused to take them again.
I dont take anything now. But thats only becaue I refuse to. I am not sure how much I may or may not need to.
But there are alternatives. One way is never set in stone.
Trial and error often find the solutions.
Hang in there Bam.

One more day till you see your doctor..post, talk to peeps, push away negative thoughts,

during this time, Bam..focus on anything you can find that is positive and worthy.

Praying and sending my thoughts still..

Well, I'm on Citalopram (20mg) right now...and I know this isn't supposed to start working for a few weeks, but if I didn't know any better I'd swear these things are working. In fact, by day two I felt a difference (my mom even said she noticed a change). That day was phenomenal...I felt normal for once (but biased towards the good ). I didn't swing down into a low depression...actually, I haven't felt like that all week. I started taking these pills Monday.

Maybe it's a placebo effect...or maybe I'm having one of my incredibly rare good moods (and those only last for several hours, not days)...or maybe I feel this way right now because the Seroquel made me feel absolutely terrible last week and not feeling that way right now is a relief.

My anxiety isn't gone, but I do feel calmer...that’s a plus.

I can't believe I'm barely thinking about things that upset me...and if I happen to think about upsetting things, I'm not dwelling on it.

Dare I say I'm a little more optimistic?

And I’m not lethargic! My mind actually feels clearer.

No crisis this week like last week, so that's good.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope this isn't a dream.

I'll talk to my therapist next week and see what she thinks.



By the way, if I'm quiet around here, don't worry about me. I feel fine right now and I promise I'll post here if things get bad/scary. I'll check in whenever. Take it easy, everyone.

Thanks for checking in Bam, I hope the meds work out for you, everyone is different and they might be the cause of feeling better you never know. I hope you keep feeling better.

I'm glad you're doing so well, Bam.
