Thank you, Brentus. I'm not sure if that's the situation in my case or not. This all really started after I crashed from the hypo high I had when I finished my novel, became terribly depressed, and decided I wanted to be high on seroquel all of the time.

Now all I can think about is ****ing seroquel! I'm allotted 300mg a day. Most of the time I take double that.

Thank you for being so kind.
