Well I finally got around to putting a note together. Let me know if I missed anything, something is out of order, or if I could explain something better.

I'm still depressed. I wouldn't say it's to the extreme, but my normal depressed state, which is better than it was before. I'm still seeing and hearing things, but not as often. It used to be close to all of the time, but now I'm only seeing/hearing things part of the time.

Hearing: faint music, my name, people having a conversation that I can't quite make out, someone talking to me, someone talking about me (both in a negative way)

Seeing: cats, shadow people, occasionally regular people - standing/being near me, and most recently this red scary monster type thing.

I make them go away mainly by distracting myself with tv shows or music.

I'm still occasionally having suicidal thoughts. Nothing major though, so it's ok for now.

I feel like the seroquel and latuda are working for me, but I am having some negative effects.

I've been way too sleepy. I sleep at least 12 hours a night. And I unwillingly take multiple naps throughout the day. I'm just so tired.

I've also been dealing with hand tremors/shakiness. It comes and goes, but when it's here it's bad, like really noticeable.

Looks like a good note.

For what it's worth, the constant drowsiness is most definitely from the Seroquel. That's the reason I can't take it at all. I know it works for you, but I remember that drowsiness and just shudder....it's terrible.

Sounds pretty comprehensive to me. I'm sure it'll be really helpful tomorrow.

Thanks guys. I wrote it out. Took 6 times. I like it to be perfect lol. I'm just really nervous about tomorrow. My appointment is at 7am which sucks because I sleep so much and can barely keep my eyes open.

Thinking of you and hope it goes well. It should as you are well prepared. You should be proud of yourself for working so hard on your health. It sounds like you are still struggling quite a bit in various ways so all I can add is to make sure you don't minimise that do the doctor can try to help you feel better. Hopefully you will both be able to come up with a good plan. Wishing you all the best. PM me any time.
