I took 900 mg of seroquel 3 hours ago. It might not seem like a big deal that I'm still awake but it usually knocks me the **** out. I have the FEEL GOOD butterflies and so far I've been pacing, jumping up and down, and drinking warm milk to help me pass out. It certainly seems as though no sleep will come. I've already requested an emergency appointment with my pdoc but I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of making tomorrow's dinner tonight and cleaning and organizing my laundry room. It sounds so fun!! I can sing Simon and Garfunkel at the top of my lungs. Oh the life!!!

I don't have an appt scheduled because she is out of the office but she should be calling early to schedule, hopefully for tomorrow. My husband is working so it's just me and the kids. It's okay though because I'm just loopy, not in danger or anything.

My pdoc said I need to be out of the office all week. She said as long as I don't get worse or become delusional I can stay out of the hospital. She said for me to take my Klonapin so I'm going from 0 to 6Mg a day. She also left my Seroquel at 900 MG and is introducing the Depakote. I took the Klonapin and fell asleep so I have come down worlds since I have woken up. Hopefully this is the pattern.

Cash,
You are so smart to call your pdoc and get help coming down. That's awesome and, in my mind, impressive. Last time I was up, I denied I was. I had no idea. I really didn't think I was. As far as not falling asleep on the dose of seroquel/quetiapine you are on, my doctor once mentioned that there is the potential for something called a "paradoxical effect" with that drug in higher doses. By this she explained that the higher doses would seem like they would really knock you on your butt, but that they have the opposite effect. Curious...what kind of dose of klonopin is used for the treatment of mania? Keep taking such good care of yourself--

You're on 6mg of clonazepam? Holy ****!
I hope you feel better soon and can get some sleep.
