So I still haven't gotten my lithium or Zoloft. My mom called the pharmacy and doctor and no luck.

So she went to the pharmacy. Spent 30minutes in there. Pharmacy couldn't get ahold of my pdoc either (I guess since he's moving offices?) the lady tried 3 times and nothing. I did get enough meds to last until Monday, yay.

I was wondering how long it takes seroquel to take affect? I'm tired of the hallucinations and paranoia.

I only take small doses of seroqurl for sleep occasionally. I don't have experience with it as an AP or stabilizer type medication. I'm glad they gave you something. (((Hugs)))

Sorry! lol

I'll try to keep my threads to a minimum and try to update one thread.

Hopefully by Monday they'll have everything figured out.

Seroquel should start to work in a couple of days. But tbh you were on seroquel before you ran out and we're still struggling with hallucinations and paranoia. I don't think seroquel is working for yoU. I think you need to try a different AP. But I know you've said you've already been on a lot. So I don't have any suggestions. All I can say is invega has worked wonders for me but you have to find a pdoc willing to give you the shot AND you absolutely cannot miss appointments as you need it every four weeks that probably won't work for you due to your transportation issues.

I hope you find some way out of this mess soon.

That's true. I might need a different one if we can find one. Some people also suggested being on 2 APs. I've never tried invega before. But yeah it may not work because we do end up having to reschedule a lot.

I take Seroquel for sleep or if I'm feeling highly anxious. I've found it to be effective only for those two things for me. I took it literally just to put myself to sleep so I wasn't suffering with any psychosis anymore or anxiety.. works good for that.

Seroquel worked for me too well... I had to stop the drug. I was sleep eating and cooking and leaving ths stove on... not good.

I hope your prescriptions work out for you.
