I slept pretty well last night
And I'm a little less active today
And I actually don't feel quite as sedated as I did yesterday despite taking 100mg vs. 50mg. Perhaps it was the extra sleep I needed.
Don't get me wrong. There's PLENTY of room for improvement, but I'll take it!!!

Bizi,

So far, she just has me prescribed for once a day (regular tabs). She may change that though, depending on how I respond to it as a mono-therapy? or how sedating it is as I get used to the drug as the dosage has to be increased (I'm sure I'll have to go beyond 300mg/day)?

Mari and DejaVu,

In retrospect, I think I was on the extended release caps. I was taking capsules before, and regular Seroquel only comes in tablets. That will probably make a big difference re: risk of syncope I'd imagine.
Just in case, I'm going to take 150mg of Seroquel tonight instead of 200. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Bobby,

I was on Risperidal and had to go off of it because I had weakness in my arms and legs and I already have a gait disorder... I knocked out one of my front teeth. I was on Lithium at the time, too and had a lot of neuro problems as well- later had to stop lithium too because of major toxicity.

I hope that I'll have enough Seroquel on-board by Tuesday so there's no major fall-out when I run out of Abilify.
But I have pdoc's number.
So far, encouraged, or at least trying to be encouraged by the results

Thanks Again
Kay
