"Inept" is a nice way to say it.

I am glad that you called.

I was totally out of it in the evening. My husband couldn't deal with me when he got home. I've been getting nauseous and getting headaches for the week I've been taking the doxycycline, but last night I had the worst headache I've ever had (and I get migraines) and I started throwing up after I ate. I was alternating between tylenol and 800mg of advil, and I already take topamax, but it still felt like I was having an aneurysm. I can't remember the last time I felt that miserable...

I thought about going to the ER, but it said online that this side effect usually goes away if you stop taking the drug causing it. And IMHO the ER should be reserved for people who have emergencies like heart attacks or missing limbs.

I was afraid to take my regular 600mg pm dose of Seroquel last night because the extra 50mg seemed to set this off, but I took it because I know I need it. I was in bed when it started to mess me up and passed out pretty quickly.

I didn't take the antibiotic last night or this morning. I have a terrible headache, but it's not as bad as last night and I'm not out of it. I called the pharmacist this morning and she confirmed that it should get better the longer I'm off it, but to go to urgent care or the ER if it gets worse.

I'm not taking any extra seroquel as long as I'm having these headaches. The psych stuff has been taking precedence over the med stuff for a while, but right now the med stuff wins.

oh kay
boy am I sorry thank you feel like crap!:(
I am hoping you feel better tomorrow.
(((((HUGS))))

Yes, to taking care of the med stuff.
Do you have access to a pharmacist to call at night?

I stayed in bed with the cats most of the day yesterday and my headache was a little better by the time my husband came home from work. I was nauseous but kept all my food down.

I woke up this morning and still have a headache but feel sooooooo much better :)

I wasn't going to take any extra seroquel as long as I was still having headaches, but I had to take 50mg this morning. I can't deal with another day of these ugly images, and I know if I keep having them they could trigger another episode.
I'm not willing to go back up to 100mg again until the headaches are gone for a few days. I'm not as worried about the intrusive thoughts as pdoc is. They're disturbing, but they're nothing new, and they're not known triggers.

You confused me.
are you referring to the ugly images=intrusive thoughts or are they different?
sorry it is so hard and you are dealing with so much.

The imagery is violent, related to s/s attempt, PTSD.

The intrusive thoughts are separate, OCD. They've been around for years, on and off, unchanged by s/s attempt except for frequency.

My husband decided to give up his whole weekend to work and is on call-all this week. He came home from work yesterday in an absolutely vile mood- yelling, swearing, kicking and throwing things.
I took a klonopin and told him if he didn't calm down I was going in the bedroom. He eventually calmed down, but after about a dozen beers his temper came back again. Thankfully, none of this was directed at me. I was maxed out on klonopin and it made me want to drink, but I didn't.
It's going to be a tough week. Even when he's just on-call he loses it any time he gets called to a job. He took the extra work for the extra money, but it's not worth it, and he admitted as much last night. But he'll make the mistake of at least picking up a Saturday again sometime soon in the future and regret it later.

I still have a headache. There are contractors in my apartment building testing the fire alarms and it's not helping matters. The management company sent out a memo saying they may have to enter apartments. I'm not letting anyone in unless they're accompanied by a maintenance man or a girl from the leasing office- and that's final.

I spoke to my father today and he sounds better. He said that the appointment with the shrink went well. I didn't dig, I don't want to pressure him. He also went to his PCP and is having labs drawn today. I'm happy about that as well.

I'm going to have to go up to 100mg of seroquel. 50mg isn't having the effect it should. I will probably make the adjustment tomorrow.

If the headaches don't go away go to your regular doctor or whichever one
helps with this. Its possible its a illness too.
