I have an appointment on thursday too. I'm anxious about it as well. New pdoc. Want off seroquel.
I don't feel dead inside at all. My emotions have actually been quite volatile lately.
My problem is that I can't concentrate or focus on anything. And the seroquel is slowing me down so much. I used to be quite energetic and active. Now I can barely get my *** off the couch to clean in the morning. I can't even vacuum. And don't make fun of me, but I love vacuuming. Lol. And at work I've been slowing down too. I used to be very fast. I just hate being this way. I'm anxious about whatever new med she's going to put me on to replace the seroquel. I want weight neutral. I don't want to go on another antipsychotic, and I can't afford any of them anyway (except for stupid seroquel!). I try reading each night to help. And it does help. It's just all of my projects I can't focus on (and I have about five of them going on right now!). I'm also anxious because she wants me off clonazepam, and I've been using that as my sole anti-anxiety med, and I need something to replace that with because I have severe anxiety, but the only anti-anxiety meds are antidepressants, and the two I've tried in the past didn't work out so well.
Anyway, hopefully our appointments go well.
I'm going to go in with a lot of notes about the way I've been feeling lately. I plan on being prepared. Maybe writing down how you've been feeling will help? And then you can just read off of it. I know that helps me.
