(You can't just take or not take an antipsychotic and at any old dose)

Actually I can. I've been on the seroquel a handful of days now after zero (minus a couple of doses (tiny) of 25mg) for a couple months. Everything was kinda sorta OK until recently which actually means probably a month. In the last couple few weeks, things were getting really weird. But, I didn't 'do it on my own'.

I did it on the fly perhaps, but when I actually remembered and looked at drug book yesterday (day 4 or 5), I pretty much followed the instructions without realizing. actually I did a 'light' version. Not exact, but not bad as far as initial titration.

The first dose I took was Saturday. Doesn't seem like it but it's Thursday. I went off seroquel a couple months ago (the obesity wasn't really doing it for me, nor was sexual function problems, nor was the left breast enlargement that I'm now told is 'just fat' and everything's fine. I just have one boob that's much larger now).

Now, bear with me, I'm not a jerk at all, I'm a pretty sweet guy. The seroquel has now caused major agitation that I still have and have for 24 hours and I choose to not take it last night. I did take lamictal and valium. I didn't have agitation the first couple days. When I took 150 total 2 days ago now (biggest dose at that point), THEN the agitation started.

How long was actually asleep? I'm guessing 2.5 but could be 3.

Item: Who here has a health care license? I know some do, but rare. BPRN I love ya. It's me and you baby. So any talk of me being 'rogue' is BS. Not being a jerk, just saying the truth.

Item: Who here has talked to a MD before, and not necessarily their own, and perhaps multiple MDs, who honestly thinks APs are highly dangerous, even if people need them, or are told they 'need' them. And that that drug class might actually be the one as far as psych meds, and to some degree medications in general, which somehow PCPs often prescribe, they worry about most?

I can check both off the list.

The good news I suppose is I rolled out of bed at 4am today was 245 yesterday. It's just that I went to bed at 9pm 2 nights ago, and closer to 130am last night as best I can tell.

Agitation isn't normal for me, like at all. SO, I'm gonna go for a walk like I normally do this time of morning for the past 2 months. And listen to jazz.

If I sound rude it's not intended I'm just expressing myself at the current moment, though this is about baseline in the past 24 hours more often than not. Not mad at anyone at all, just have generalized agitation, and it's from seroquel. And that wasn't evident until sometime yesterday when I realized it. peace
