I am currently on 1200mg of Seroquil.
I am definitely sedated. But I still have hypomanic afternoons 2 or 3 times a week. They go away when I take my seroquil and the next day i feel depressed.
I take the seroquil in the afternoons so I will fall asleep by 7 or 8pm, so I can be up by 5 or 6am. But I still have lots of nightmares and/or vivid dreams that wake me up several times during the night.
If I don't drink coffee, I am back in bed and asleep for a few hours around 7 or 7:30am to 9 or 10am.
Today, as I read the bipolar threds, I Definitely feel sedated. I can remember that if I stopped taking the Seroquil I would go into mania and the thought is very, very seductive.
I would be jittery, full of energy, jumpy, racing thoughts, speeded up, possibly psychotic symptoms, euphoria, elation, walking on air...possibly irritable...like i was before when i stopped taking it.
But for good or for bad--I would be ALIVE!!!!
So should I? Should I stop taking my seroquil??????
