Yep I think Blueberry probably knows more than the pdoc I've been seeing. Got an appointment with someone else at the end of this month, so hopefully I can hold until then.
I really appreciate the enormous amount of support I've been getting from this group. Yesterday was a better day; it's possible lowering the Seroquel might have made a difference. Haven't been on it very long, but I think I will taper a little more slowly just to be safe. Had started retaking in May at 50mg for about a week and then stopped, but 2 days later started taking again at 50mg and within a week was up to 200, then started tapering back and within a week had stopped for 1 day and then started taking again, the last jump up was from 150 to 200, then I started tapering 25mg / night, but I think I will probably have to give it about 4 days between reducing by 25mg until I'm down to 0. I think I slept ok last night, but I am not sure.
For me it is just recurrent depression. No one thinks I am bipolar, but the consensus seems to be a mood stabilizer is needed.
I'm just very foggy and slowed in my thinking could be the combination of drugs or the depression, probably both.
