Hmm,

If you no longer need the cogentin maybe you should ask her why you are still being prescribed it, maybe a good idea to get that sorted out. It has no effect on moods. Actually long term use of this med can cause it to become ineffective, if you ever did need it again, it could possibly not work.

Seroquel, because it is a major tranquilizer which is what antipsychotics are, yes will make you feel like that. Hard to predict, some people are less sedated by it and others more so. For me it is very sedative, and I do not adjust to it quickly at all, if ever really. 100 mg is not too high, but if that is how you felt this morning, then tomorrow morning might be much the same. Some people adjust to these meds quickly and can function on them sooner, I have no experience with that tho, these meds have always made me into quite a zombie. You may want to try to go to bed sooner if you can so that you have more time to sleep. I had to do that when I was on them so I was able to wake up with my kids in the morning. At least until you know how it is going to affect you.

No way of knowing really if you will tailspin down, unfortunately. Why did she switch all your meds if I can ask. Is the Klonopin take as needed? Are you taking that for anxiety?

I wish I could tell you to not feel like a labrat , pretty sure most of us feel that way. It is a lot of guess work.

Also, do your research before you take new meds, these meds can have serious side effects, always best to know what you could be getting into, whether you are comfortable taking them, and what to watch for.
