Well, as an update, I had a breakdown yesterday, and also this morning.. my psychiatrist wanted to see me as soon as possible, so I went to see her this afternoon. She said that while she was hoping the Clonazepam would be enough to curb the excessive energy and racing thoughts, etc., it clearly was not working. She gave me Seroquel XR (150mg) and I took my first one about an hour and a half ago. I'm not as bouncy, so that's a good sign (: Like I've already said before though, I have (for better or for worse) a habit of wanting to learn everything there is to know about something, so have just spent the last hour researching Seroquel... the mentions of deaths and problems with heart conditions kind of terrified me! (I have mitral valve prolapse and supraventricular tachychardia with an accessory pathway) I'm sure there's no need to worry, and I suppose the dosage is quite low (my psychiatrist originally was going to give me 50mg of it, but what with all the bouncing about, decided on 150mg instead, though said that sometimes dosages can go up to 800mg). Annyway. I just wanted to give an update, and talk to anyone else who is or has taken it, and their thoughts. Thanks!
