Updates...
good news is that there is less irritability now. bad news is that other side effects are quite bothersome....
I went for 75 mg two nights ago and ended up with the worst akathisia ever experienced. last night at 50 mg proved to be ok though. However, the larger problem I am noticing is that this drug seems to be increasing my rumination and overall instability. Every morning I wake up somewhat refreshed and cheery, but sometime after waking, I start ruminating and thinking negatively. I dont know why, maybe its more from being off Nefazodone than being on Seroquel. Or perhaps its Seroquel's short half-life and there's a bit of a rebound the next day. Regardless, my run with it is over.
Happily going back to Nefazodone and Rozerem.
