I started the Seroquel on Thursday night. It really helped me sleep well, although 50 mg seems to be too much. The 25 mg is better, although I seem to be really tired. It's different from the Zyprexa which put me in a drowsy haze where I kept drifting off into sleep. Right now, when I'm awake, I'm still alert, but I just get tired very easily and want to nap. I'm hoping that it's just me recovering from all that lost sleep.
That said, I've noticed that since starting treatment, the way I approach relationships with others has changed greatly. I wonder if this is normal?

as someone who's taking 150 ~ 200 mg of seroquel a night...
ReplyDeleteI say all your comments are very valid, in my opinion.
I think of a manic episode as a cleansing period for unnecessary relationships. it helps make it clear who really cares about you/not (in the most painful way, I might add). but still, it's eye-opening and rather pleasant in the long run.
I'm very glad you're sleeping again. it makes me happy to hear that you're on the road to good overall health.
Go you!!
