That's exactly what the seroquel did to me. It muffled everything. All the little thoughts that were swirling swirly swirly... just kind of like "lights out" but I was still awake! No stream of consciousness. just me looking around, waiting impatiently for the inner commentary to begin.
You'll get used to it. They're not gone. They're on vacation to a remote undisclosed location- no internet access or phone line. But, they'll be in touch. Don't worry at all.
Toughie's crushed because for the first time, she feels like no one's listening.
And the other ones- so distant that they may feel "dead" but they aren't.
hang in there. I felt better after about 3-7 days at 300mg. I talked to my T about it. She said it's common for these things to come and go, depending on what's going on in our life. Maybe your kids saw the upcoming weekend and decided it was time to pack up and get away.
Please call your pdoc/T if you feel really out of sorts. This feeling can be really freaky at first, and maybe they can talk to you and convince you that you are not crazy (you're not.)
In the meanwhile, keep in touch with your loved ones. Keep them near. Even if you feel disconnected from your self and your surroundings, they'll help keep you tethered.
Amazingly, I found that I *COULD* make good decisions and communicate with others, even when the little voices in my head are muffled. You've got to have faith in yourself. I have faith in you :)
