I cut my loxapine dose about 10 days ago and my seroquel dose (but only 100 mg, to 800 mg) 6 days ago. My seroquel dose should have leveled off about 2 days ago.

I don't feel that depressed but I am thinking about self harm. Not that I'll do it, I never do, but it's a bad sign, part of the progression into badness.

I see my pdoc Monday and hopefully can increase my AD (if it doesn't interact with the loxapine as it did the last time I tried to increase it) then.

It's really hard to know that we're trying to salvage this, it's probably not going to work, and I'm going to have to start over on something else. My oral movements are still here even with the lowered dose of Seroquel. And if the dose goes down further the depression can just get worse.

I just want to get to Monday and get some answers.

Good luck on getting answers. I have to wait until Wednesday to get mine. My meds aren't working either.
