It's been a few hours since I accidentally took my evening meds. I'm feeling OK now with only very mild sedation. Crazy that 700 mg Seroquel doesn't knock me down in the daytime.

A few days back, I went through my closet and gathered even more clothes to donate. Ones that haven't fit for a while. As they sat in a corner, I gradually changed my mind about a few. Typical. Sure wish I could fit in them someday! It's definitely possible, but I think it would require a 20 to 25 lb (9 to 10 kg) loss. I wouldn't ask my current pdoc to lower any med (i.e. Seroquel), because of the stress of the upcoming move. Plus, he likely wouldn't right now, anyway. But maybe if I'm doing OK in a few months, a new pdoc would. Sadly, I'll need to find a new one. Where we might live is much closer to Prague than the city I'm in now. I'm not at all emotionally attached to my current pdoc and tdoc, so that's good.
