Thanks Amazonmom. I'm feeling a bit better tonight, but there's something still squirming around in my brain beneath the surface and I hope it doesn't rear its ugly head again. I was able to laugh at a program on TV a few times tonight instead of sleeping or staring at nothing. My muscles feel all weird though and spastic. Like being in an antsy child's body. I'll update after my appt tomorrow. If it's not my body, it's my brain or both! You know how it is, though.

Does anyone else sweat on Seroquel in the middle of the night?
I take 700 mg of Seroquel and I sweat every night. I also sweat a lot during the day too. It sucks, but it does seem to be helping my mood. I also take Lamictal and it has helped with the depression. I hope you are feeling better soon, my friend.

Thanks all for your support and thoughts. I saw the P-doc (actually psychiatric mental health nurse, it's just easier to say it the other way) and have been prescribed Lamictal. I start it when I get off of Effexor completely in 3 days. I hope it helps. Because my moods are so mercurial and it's a little nuts. To think I was severely depressed for days and today I feel like I can hardly sit still and type and like I could fly or jump right out of my skin. I'm so happy, excited, bouncy. Hugs to everyone! YAAAAY, i'm not depressed. (First time she saw me hypomanic so I got my diagnosis from her too as bipolar...before just got it from my T). It's official. I'm certified.
