I'm not trying to scare you. I take 30mgs Abilify, so we're in the same boat. I am, however, trying to be honest with you. This is one reason I take so many antioxidants and b-vitamins. Its an effort to protect my brain and the rest of my body from the tranquilizer and other prescribed drugs.


Yea this is what i figured. Damn. I didn't have this until my dose went above 450mg, so somewhat recently. And I don't know what to do because without seroquel, I'd be up for days or sleeping maybe 2 hrs here or there which drives me insane and makes me dysphoric. The only thing I've been doing now is taking as little as needed. I take 450mg and if I'm not asleep within an hour I know I have to take another 150mg (pdoc gives me 300mg tabs so I can do this up to 600mg).
