Hi, I'm starting on 25mg seroquel today which will be increased to 50mg after a week or two. I'm in university and very concerned about the antipsychotic's potential to reduce brain mass. Having heard it referred to by a tutor as a chemical lobotomy, I'm not super hopeful about retaining my academic performance. 

Is anyone else in university and on this medication and if so can you please weigh in? I'm so worried I'm considering just using the drug as and when needed, for instance during breakdowns, rather than daily. Thankfully Christmas break is in about 3 weeks, so I'll have 3-4 weeks to get used to the dosage. 

Am I likely to be able to continue performing well? How do you find your overall cognitive ability on seroquel and is juggling tasks/completing tasks noticable more difficult? And most important: has this drug affected your university experience? 

Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this.
