I dropped down to 120 in just six months! Incredible. I'm wondering if Seroquel f***ed with my metabolism or something.

Anyway, the feeling of my brain turning into cement just made me decide that I needed to change to a different medication, and now I actually have no idea why I was on quetiapine in the first place. I have never been manic. I get hypomania, but I'm mostly depressed, so why they decided to give me an antipsychotic is beyond my comprehension.

Oh well.
