Hi all.
I have been on a cocktail of meds since about 1996 that have numbed me so much I could hardly cry or laugh at appropriate times. Recently I found a new Psychiatrist who took me off the Quetiapine 150mg, Divalproex 1000mg, put me on Saphris 5mg, and lamotrigine200mg. I also take lorazepam 3mg prn.

Since going off the Quetiapine, I feel like I am suddenly awake from some kind of fog like illness. I got up last Tuesday looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the old lady looking back at me! I tried to fix my self up, but have let myself go so much, in the last 20 years, I don't know what to do. I have also started crying, over silly things, like the the old lady staring back at me. I burst into tears at my regular Doctors office when I was there for a B12 shot telling her about the old woman in the mirror, I just blubbered on. Then today when my daughter couldn't pick up my omeprozole from the pharmacy, again felt abandoned. This is so unlike me.

Truthfully I think it's from coming off the Quetiapine, because I remember the first time I took it, he said to start at 50mg at bed time, but I react to meds so differently so took 25mg and slept for 24hours, and was groggy all the next day.

Thanks for listening

Anytime. I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. I hope you get your meds straightened out and feel better. I just don't know if I could go any length of time without feelings. I wish mine were a little less intense.
