Ah, Seroquel, I know her well. I am not the same person anymore. And it really pisses me off! And all the professionals say is, but it is worth it if you feel good. NO, it is not worth it. it is not ok. Why can't the drug manufacturers and the pdocs take our needs seriously??

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
