I can't take it in the morning or I will sleep all day, esp. I cannot take 450 mg in the morning which is what i think he ordered. So now I have less than i need to sleep tonight (except I'm EXHAUSTED so hopefully will fall asleep) and am essentially being cut to 1/3rd of my dose in one day. I know the plan was aggressive; I do not think it was THIS aggressive. MY AD is also cut because i''ve been cutting my patches and apparently they can't do that, which I expected.

Why would anyone think someone could take 450 mg of Seroquel in the MORNING?? They did this last time too. If nothing else they know I've always taken it all at night so logically dividing it would be not beneficial.

I'm a little scared........i also have a migraine which makes me anxious and I have to wait for an order for ibuproferon.

Going be fun tomorrow........the nurse is telling me this is probably all the plan. I'm going to ask her to check about the AM dose and maybe she'll question it for me but I got the impression not so likely. Oh well...I came to do this fast. This is fast. But from what the resident said to me this isn't the way he was thinking.

I at least am here and that is very, very good. I was up nearly all night so hopefully I'll sleep. i was very brave and asked for a bed away from the door when assigned one at the door (no curtain so all night it gets flooded with light and wakes me).

I've watched more tv out of boredom than I usually do in a month.

Miss you all!
How did it go? Does IP not allow sleep masks? Man, I have to have my room pitch dark and I wear earplugs!
