Dear Brokenfriend,

Abbie is still in a mixed mood. Her meds are not cutting it. i know you take a low dose of Seroquel and that works for you for sleep, but maintenance therapy and treatment of acute episodes are very different. Also, people respond very differently to different dosages. I, for one, would not even notice 25mg of Seroquel. To get solid sleep i was having to take SIX HUNDRED mg of Seroquel. 400 gave me parasomnias... i would sleep but i would keep waking up and be all messed up and stuff. and i was not even in an acute state as is Abbie. So you see there are many different factors to consider.

Mixed moods are notoriously difficult to control. They involve the energy of mania so, in a mixed state, sleep can be one of the first things to go out the window - either become irregular, scarce, or absent.

In case you had not seen it or all of it, Abbie originally started posting about this in her thread Any one ever felt this way?? but it sounds like you have since you mention the Seroquel.

Forgive me if i am out of place; I am answering you because Abbie has indicated she might not be around... i hope you don't mind... I hope Abbie doesn't mind...

((( Abbie )))

Dear Abbie thank you for letting us know. Good Luck and hang in there! I will be keeping you safe in my thoughts as i'm sure will others.
