Okay...forgive this negative post. I don't feel so good today. I'm PMSing bad...so I'm cycling a bit...not much though...just getting down, and i hate hate hate hate it.

I have this love/hate thing going on with Seroquel...I took a whole (25mgs) last night by mistake, and I didn't take it til 12:00, so needless to say I was late for works. I'm also gaining weight and I know I'm eating a lot more...UGH UGH UGH UGH !

My sinuses are STILL acting up horribly...have a headache and sore throat today...so glad its Friday so I can just read and lay around this weekend...be lazy...sleep. lol.

UGH I'm just irritable, and tired, and pms'y...sucks.

I did go to a cookout last night with a friend and her kids...my kid is her kid's best friend...so that was cool. Then I had lunch today with another friend. Still forcing myself to get out and be more social.

I wanna go home and I just got here an hour ago.

I have a love/hate with Seroquel too. I love it, but I am afraid to take it cause I might be pregnant (we were trying, now we're "not trying not to" decided to wait a few months so if we DO get pregnant it will come after I'm out of school) but I am waking up sick every morning, my husbands cologne made me wanna puke, the smell of dinner made me dizzy/nauseated, etc and I have that 'I feel like I'm starting but am not due for another week' feeling. Just like last time I was pregnant (I lost it at 8 weeks). So I obviously don't want to take the Seroquel, but when I skipped it the night before last I got all manicy like antsy and irritable.

((((((((((((((((keli)))))))))))))) vent all you need to. I think it's great that you're getting out of the house even if you are forcing yourself to do it. It's the best medicine for us according to my tdoc. She was so happy to find that I went out on a date and that there's a good chance for a second date with this guy.


I understand your reluctance with the seroquel. I know how I did with it only I had a high tolerance for it - either that or I was really manic because my pdoc kept having to up it because it just wasn't knocking me out. That's why I couldn't answer your question about how long it takes to get over that sleepiness problem. I had the opposite problem.


My ds is having heavy duty sinus problems too. Poor little guy has had so many headaches lately tonight he told me that he thought he has cancer. So I had to reassure him that it's not cancer. I do need to make a doctor appointment for him though because he does get
