Seroquel for me had some nasty side effects which lead to me stopping them immediately in line with the instructions that came in the box. Do your side effects also fall into any of the serious side effects listed? That could be a good way to determine what to do perhaps

I've had Seroquel as a prn for a long time. This is the first time that I took it more then every other day because I didn't like the personality stealing and drowsiness. It was suggested to take it full time until I saw my new pdoc because I was scattered and didn't want to go to the ER. Well the scattered-ness, panic, personality stealing, and drowsiness went away when I took it full time just to be replace with my head randomly pulling to the left and my eyes rolling into the back of my head for a second. It's not happening as bad since this afternoon. I can play it off now when it happens. It just feels like that side of my neck is easier to turn.

I already deal with random brain clicks with shivers that feel like I'm going to die at times but it has no physical signs so I'm fine with dealing it but this was happening like every 5-10 min. I don't want it to happen ever again.

Is it worth ringing ER and seeing if you can get some advice?

TD is nothing to play around about. I think you have a plan. If you take it again and it happens again, I would go to the ER.

You don't have too much longer to go until you meet the new pdoc.

You seem to barely be holding on as it is, and that's with the med. If taking the med isn't going well and you can't last until seeing the pdoc, then go to the ER. Don't just stop them cold-turkey, that's never a good idea and you seem to need the help!

I'm still taking the viibryd and lamictal. If things go really bad I'm going to take half. I think it's because it built up in my system I had my jaw locking up months after I started the celexa. My body hates me being happy.

Lock jaw is no fun at all....thats one of the side effects I had with Seroquel - downright scary.

I do hope you can hold out til your appointment, and please let us know how it goes too and the fun doesn't stop.

By the way, your body doesn't hate you, it's just letting you know who's in control.....

Hang in there ((((hugs))))

I'm starting to worry about intake. Should I bring my husband? What do I say? What if they think I'm crazier than I am? What if they change my dx. I'm OK with the BP label.

Take him along if hes willing to go, Tell then the truth all of it , They deal with people day in and day out with mental illness issues nothing you say is going to shock them ... Labels are just that labels it does not matter, treating the symptoms are what is most important.

With today's symptoms, how you feel and your husbands perspective. Once you start writing it will probably flow. If it doesn't just keep the paper your writing on handy and jot points down as they come to mind. That's how I do it between visits, on a pice of paper daily at night on my beside table.

I'm so angry. So very, very angry. Is this withdrawal or something worse? I don't want this anger to take a turn for the worse.
