Great idea to ask a pharmacist about Seroquel dosages.
 Blue, I'm guessing the Adderall brought on a psychotic episode which is continuing despite your stopping Adderall. Triggered episodes don't always stop immediately upon withdrawing the trigger (in this case, Adderall). The weekend gives you some time a space to really try to take great care and see if you can get ahead of the psychosis. It can be like trying to put out a fire that Adderall had started. You need meds, sleep and time to cool off the brain, to dampen down the flames, so to speak. You are doing a great job!  WC |

I'd recommend sticking to the prescribed dose and not be playing around with self medicating. I also urge you to be honest with your pdoc about this entire quitting the meds, taking adderall then getting psychotic and the voices. They've heard it before and they'll hear it again it's not uncommon especially for BP. It will help him to help you.

I agree with Nammu, Blue, in that your pdoc will only be helpful to you.
I know you feel strongly about not contacting him. I wish you could/would include him as an active partner in your care during this important time. WC |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
