@JaneOnceMore Sounds like you're doing better today than last night. Sleep helps things quite a bit.

@raspberrytorte - I actually found the biggest hindrance to my creativity was the benzo I was on for 10 yr (clonazepam). Got off that and finally I could read books again and then draw and even take up watercolors. I'd love to get off Seroquel or onto a smaller dose at least but I don't sleep without it and I get psychotic. If you do lower your Seroquel, psychosis could become a big issue and any paranoia you have could worsen. Seems a plan to taper the benzo might be worth trying first? Even if benzo withdrawal is horrible, I know, it took me over a year to taper off clonazepam (I'd been taking it 10+ years), but I do feel in the long run it was worth it because at some point my anxiety and panic were not really helped by being on a benzo any longer, and now that I look back at it at the point when I was on 4 mg clonazepam/day, I had so many more panic attacks or horrible anxiety than I do now off it. I still do have anxiety and sometimes panic attacks, but it's less frequent. The key with getting off the benzo is a SLOW taper, I mean really slow, sometimes it feels like 2 steps forward, 3 steps backwards. But maybe you could wait on med changes until after you see the gyn and see what she recommends. Maybe something there could help. And I can't remember, have you had your vitamin levels checked by your PCP? Sometimes low levels of B vitamins can cause issues.
