Seroquel xr : The adventures of taking medicine
I have been on Seroquel xr for almost I believe four years now. My doctor and I have it down to a science that when I need a medication stabilization it is the dose of the Seroquel that makes the most impact. I have had very few side effects and over the years I believe that truly the only negative side effect that I have had to come to terms with is the weight gain.
A down side for me and Seroquel right now is that I have no pcnp or actual psychiatrist. I am pretty much in a limbo situation as the clinic is trying to affiliate a full time in house psychiatrist. I know myself very well and given my current family circumstances my medicine needs to be adjusted but to what degree do I have in knowing if I am depressed but functioning quite well or if I am just mentally at my limit. I don't know where to go from here. I want my first psychiatrist to come back and help me figure out life again because right now all I am doing is existing. I go to work and try to be a functioning adult. However, I come home and either crash or I have an extensive list of things to accomplish before the sunsets.
My brain feels overwhelmed and I am not sure if the Seroquel dosage needs adjusted or if I am simply at my limit. There are moments when I really want to revert back to old coping skills but I know that if I can get a professional to see me and realize I know myself enough to configure that Seroquel is the medicine that we can adjust and cause everything to stabilize.
All I want is for someone to tell me why I feel the way I do. I just want someone to tell me how to fix this.
Seroquel makes me extremely tired. however, after taking my nightly dose, I am still able to write this blog post with droopy eyes and a sleeping song lulling me into the end of the night I must go. I needed to breathe a little and putting it out there with my one medicine of many that I take will help me function a little more properly. Good night all.
