For the first time, I have experienced myself going into an extreme hypomanic episode, then a week later crash really hard into an anxious depression. Finally I have leveled off a bit, but enough to be just below the line of content. What I noticed tho, with the med changes I have been through in the past month, I have begun to FEEL, emotions that I can't place a name one. I cry at the drop of a hat, wish I knew why. I was taken off the seroquil so that's from 150mg to 0 in about 2 weeks total. once the fogg of the seroquil wore off, the emotions started rushing in. They are so foreign to me

Sounds like my therapy will start in august, which I am grateful for.

Thanks for listening

Seroquel has the tendency to dull emotions so without it you're going to feel a lot of stuff the drug was masking. I'm glad you are going to start therapy soon! That's a good way to learn how to manage all the emotions you feel.

I'm glad as well that you are going to start therapy in August. Will you be okay until then? The cathartic release of emotions sometimes helps you feel better. Best wishes.
