you should talk about this to you p-doc.
i was on seroquel back in the day, it was the ONLY thing that touched my inability to get to sleep which was horrible. i think i was at 100 or something. anyway about a month or so into it one day i realized i was sitting at my desk, talking through my instructions to myself out loud. i would say things like "put the file in XX folder....wait wha'ts a file..."
ya... i was in IT at the time, THIS was a problem. My Pdoc told me it was called 'cognitive blunting' and that he had seen it many times in some of his patients.
i was taken off it, and it did take a couple weeks or so before i was back to 'normal'. But it was a terrible feeling. i would spell words like "what" and ask myself... is that REALLY how thats spelled? it doesn't seem right.if you are cognitively aware of how things should be but seem to be having more motor function issues, this too should be addressed.
Best Wishes.
