Hi, really tired right now came home recently late at night. Heading to bed soon. Thanks for all the responses in this thread and the other.
Seroquel hasn't been working too well. I had a lot of trouble falling asleep at even a slightly higher dose since my cut of the 100mg tablet wasn't perfect. so it would be 45mg one night and 55mg the next and it just doesn't seem to be cutting it plus i feel like my sex drive drove off a cliff and i dont feel as social anymore. i just feel a bit disconnected. it's strange. maybe it's all connected to a central ''cloudy feeling'' in my head.
ugh maybe this will all go away or perhaps i should give risperidal/risperidone another try because initially before 25mg parnate increase (from 20mg) it was working ''well'' enough but still had it's issues yet i would be able to feel better during the days instead of how i feel on the seroquel.
risperidal isn't meant to be that sedating though maybe it was mainly due to lower parnate. ill find out soon enough.
