Hi lozza,
I usually have to think of every possibility as the psychiatrist from the start has just given me what I want or think I need. He does seem clueless as to what to do with me.
I realized, as I was telling him everything that is going on with me yesterday (quite a lot), he was flipping through my file too quickly and blank stare on his face, to really have been reading anything). It is frustrating. He said, I quote "You know I don't mind you tinkering with your meds". So it is up to me to figure it out! I did ask for a sleep med as I was thinking this was another idea, but he was concerned about the dependency or addiction factor, as well as I am. So I may just end up suffering with less sleep or go back to the way things were and let the seroquel kill me slowly. That was sarcasm, but I really wish I had never taken any psychotropic drugs sometimes. I feel they helped sometimes, but the fact no doctor ever warns you that you will become so dependent on them that you may never be able to function, or possibly feel like you are going insane without them, t's me off.
Last night I tried the higher dose of diazepam, and there was no way sleep was kicking in. So I added my 25 mg seroquel and yep the blood sugar is high this morning. And I'm as groggy and tired as ever.
