My husband had a very hard time when I was diagnosed with MS (in 2008). I asked him to go to see a pdoc and therapist. He agreed, took 1 mo of Prozac and went to 1 appointment with a therapist...
He has a lot on his plate right now. The social worker at the psych hospital offered him services both times I was there, but he said no.

He's not entirely happy with his job. I don't think anyone is. He travels to different job sites, so some days are better than others.
When he has to work at this one site in particular, he has to be there for weeks at a time. He has to drive 3 hours a day, and the place is just horrible.

Unhappy

3 hours a day would get to me real quickly.
hoping that he doesn't have that too often.
I am hoping that you guys learn how to better communicate with each other.
It sounds so hard.

I'm not prize. I have a lot of medical and mental health issues that are difficult for him to deal with. We're both alcoholics. I could write a book, but this isn't the Young and the Restless. I think the important thing is that we're both still trying.

I took 300mg of Seroquel last night, slept well, didn't wake up sedated, and am flying slightly higher this morning.

I only took 4mg of Abilify with my am pills because I'm running out of it. The plan is to discontinue it because I can't afford it anymore (despite all other channels) and Seroquel is going to be my monotherapy (if you don't include lamictal and topamax I already take).

The Seroquel will have to be raised, but pdoc is supposed to be in her office today, and I have an appointment already scheduled for Friday.

----

Spoke to the neurologist. This relapse is mild enough I can just ride it out. I don't even have to go into the office at this point. If things change, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Thanks,
Kay

I'm on 300mg single dose right now.

I really don't know what's a safe dose when it comes to Seroquel.

The sedative effect has been wearing off by noontime...
She'd been increasing by 100mg.
I think I'm going to call the office to ask if I can increase the Seroquel to 400mg tonight to catch this early.
Or she may divide the dose?

I'll keep you posted.

Kay

Message from pdoc:

Stay with 300mg Seroquel pm, start 150mg am tomorrow.

I think this will help...

Like Bizi said, it's common to have divided doses?
