Hello all, I’m on my fourth day taking half a pill of Seroquel. I haven’t taken my dosage yet, as it’s before bed. I was prescribed 25mg, half a pill for four days if tolerated begin to take the whole thing. 

I do not have bipolar disorder, that I’m aware of. But lately I have been suffering with bouts of anxiety and sever depression that was brought on by health issues. My GP had prescribed me lexapro, which honestly was the worst experience of my entire life. It has taken me six months to get back to a sense of normal. I recently started using the Cerebral app- because I was thinking some dark thoughts. 

My prescriber pushed Prozac, but with my negative reaction to the last SSRI I abruptly changed my mind. Now she has me on this regime. The first two days were great. Felt motivated and well rested. Well yesterday mid day I had an anxiety attack and that weird out of body feeling where everything just feels uncomfortable and off. I’ve been hot as f**k, sweaty palms and feet (which is unusual for me), I’ve been laying in a ball all morning on my couch, have that pit feeling in my stomach, my throat is red and sore, hurts to swallow. I know it takes 4-6 weeks, that’s what my prescriber reminded me when I brought up these symptoms.

But I keep thinking I felt better before this. Not panicked or wired feeling. Should I just hold out and hope for better days. Tomorrow I’ll be on the full dose and quite frankly that terrifies me.
