This morning, I just burst into tears, and the little stuff is really getting to me. My pdoc and I decided a few weeks ago to try lowering my Seroquel, since I got tired of the way it was making me feel at night. At first, I was feeling noticeably on edge, getting into constant arguments with family and even with one friend of mine...although she said some things to trigger that.

(*****Possible trigger) I started experiencing some SI today after crying a lot. I know my moods fluctuate, but I'm so sick of this. At first with the lower Seroquel, I was feeling better as far as reducing side effects. If I am off Seroquel, I can't sleep at all. Do you think the fact my Seroquel was lowered from 400 to 300 could cause this kind of emotional reaction? I didn't think it would feel like such an extreme difference.

I am so much more irritable, angry, sad, and especially feeling low about myself. Part of my self-esteem issue right now is on top of my mental health problems, I got a skin infection (molluscum) and later found out that it is possible I passed it along to someone since it turns out it is contagious (at first I was falsely diagnosed with folliculitis). I am guessing maybe there is a build up between self-esteem issues plus the med change causing everything.....it is hard to tell. Do you think it is worth getting an earlier pdoc appointment to think about upping my Seroquel again? I'm scared to do so though.
