@BeyondtheRainbow - I'm so sorry about the stress & anxiety you are having along with the sleep trouble. Can you contact your pdoc and ask if it's ok to take the Seroquel nightly or even slightly up the dose? 25 mg is still pretty low, maybe 50 mg would work better, or 25 mg & 12.5 mg? Something like that. Sleep has been the one thing that keeps me most stable of all. It's miserable when you can't sleep. Or you could ask you pdoc if you could take a low dose Seroquel for anxiety in the daytime (around 12.5 mg). Unless you have a prn benzo...if there is any time to use it, now is probably the time!

However, I know if I were in your shoes, I'd be worried too. How long have you been waiting on the review? The orange one is absolutely evil!

@Blue_Bird So sorry you're spending the holidays alone. It is hard, I did it a few times at college, but even then I knew I could have gone to see my parents if I wanted to, and the following year my middle sister moved in with me (she was 1 yr behind me in school, we went to the same university), so I had company. I am so sorry you are missing your mom you and relationship with your sister is fractured. My 2 sisters are really my only 2 friends, I don't know what I'd do without them.

@MuddyBoots Hang in there! At this point, since you've had an exterminator in and have had to do treatment for bedbugs whether or not you're hallucinating them is moot. I'd be thinking I had them even if I no longer did at every little sign if I'd just got through with what you have. I hope you will get a GI referral this week and things might move along quickly for you. I'm glad your mom stayed to help you some though.

@unaluna Glad your blood sugar has been under control. Great work!

@June08 Glad to hear your mood is stable so far. Did you take the Seroquel last night? I can't remember.
