I was cleaning a hand vac last night,and I started feeling a lot of anxiety that sometimes comes with doing to much cleaning,and having allergy attacks. I took part of a Seroquel,and some of my other meds, it was time for them,then I became less hyper, and less freaked out. I was getting hyper. I hate that fealing,but I'm taking the meds,and praying.
The Seroquel has been a really big help in reducing my mental health challenges,but it slows me down. I can accept this slow down because the meds combination are helping my anxiety problems. BF  |
I've noticed the that I get that tired hang over if I medicate enough, too. I held back on some of the med Sunday to avoid it. I haven't been experiencing it the last few days though. It really is a trade off.
It stinks that you have to, but it makes me feel better that some of you have to play with your meds too, and have found ways to make them work better for you
Cleaning can really get me going too. I've been trying to stay away from anything more involved than vacuuming the last few days. I don't feel well right now and the last thing I need is to get wrapped up in something and rev myself up. My anxiety has been really high.
You warned me about the weight gain with Seroquel. I have gained 6-7lbs since starting. It's not unwelcome, but I don't want to gain much more than that.
