I'm having a terrible time concentrating. I work in a very technical field (cell phones), so concentration is key for me to do my job.

I can't figure out if it's my meds or the fact that I've been very slightly hypomanic. I was on Saphris and recently changed to Seroquel XR. I don't remember any difference in my ability to concentrate when I changed meds, so I tend to think it might be my hypomania. Then again Saphris and Seroquel are both atypical antipsychotics.

Any opinions?

Seroquel turned my brain into overcooked oatmeal , My gray matter returned once I stopped taking it.

Hey skittles. Although, some of my meds turn my mind into mush. Those effects only last until I get used to the dose, or when we try a different combo. It usually for a couple of weeks for me. I work w/ numbers all day, and I can't afford to let my my concentration wonder either.
