Of uneasiness when your meds are kicking in? I don’t know how to explain it

I don’t feel a difference unless for some reason I am hours late taking them. Then I just feel relieved.

Yes. Sometimes I feel it when my ap kicks in or my Depakote. Especially if I take it any earlier or later than I usually take it.

Oh yeah. Seroquel could be like a torture chamber when it kicks in, especially at 400mg!

I totally agree. Seroquel made me feel awful every night. I had to switch meds.
I still take 300mg @melmel7! It’s better.

I take 300 mg seroquel right now, but I still am having weird things going on. My mind is racing really bad tonight, and it was just upped the other day. Doctor is waiting to see if it needs upped again. He doesn’t want to over medicate me, since that happened in the past with other doctors. It seems it makes me tired for a couple weeks, then I start to feel really energized and not tired. Paranoia still here, and weird voices still everyday.
300mg is supposed to be the minimum dose for sz! How were you on lower dose? Holy moly.

Some med’s make me feel flat bad. All the typical antipsychotics do that to me.

I’ve say this before Seroquel dropped my blood pressure went unconscious three times. I think they should black box it.

My old doctor was treating me for anxiety even though I had been diagnosed bipolar in 2002. So he put me on 50 mg 3 times a day. Well he just up and quit one day. Now I see a new doc via videoconference at the same place and he is kinda conservative to begin with. They diagnosed me schizoaffective bipolar type cause I hear voices all the time. I sleep in a cycle less then more less then more. The seroquel increase helped me sleep. But it is evening out again and I am still hearing things, so I don’t know . I don’t feel tired most of the time. It takes my meds 3-5 hours to take effect at night. I feel my sleep changing again. Every other med I try I get restlessness really bad, except zyprexa which made me just not able to function. It was awful getting off that one. I had a huge up surge in voices and thought the police were going to bust in my house and I thought It was my fault that …well I don’t know… can’t remember much detail. I just wanted to die I felt so bad. When I started the seroquel it eased my anxiety a little. And started sleeping a little more . I mostly just hide in my bedroom everyday. I don’t like people coming in my house at all. If someone comes to see my husband I hide. I thought my dad put microphones in the refrigerator he gave us for about 3 months and I wouldn’t use it at all. I can’t even go out in my yard at all anymore it’s to hard. The landlord likes my husband I think, but she doesn’t like me. I still go places, like I grocery shop, but never alone because I forget where the car is and I’m being followed everywhere. I don’t drive either, I haven’t driven in years because people are everywhere. The therapist thought I was getting manic and asked the doctor to increase my meds as I was sleeping 2 hours only and cleaning all day long and not really tired. I didn’t really feel manic in my opinion just the voices were just not stopping and I couldn’t sleep much. They follow me everywhere. I feel them around me touching my arm . Someone at church was asking me a bunch of questions and now I am freaking out. I should have not talk to them at all. I just want them to stop talking. I don’t know why they won’t go away. They tell me when people die it’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I just don’t know. I do take my medicine everyday. It helps keep me calmer until about 4 pm and then I am waiting until It’s time to take again. I have some 50 mg pills I can take, but it messes with my breathing or heart if I take the regular seroquel like weird. The XR kind doesn’t. I don’t want people following me. It is weird being watched.
I start to relax and feel sleepy when I take saphris. I can’t feel anything happening with lamotrigine.
I only noticed this on clozapune
Like the quantum matrix makes my butt hurt. I get injectable.

I take my Vraylar at 6mg at 7am each day, but after a few hours, my thoughts race and all I want to do is rest or even sleep all day if permitted. I hate the racing thoughts. Even most of my dreams are digital or about being online. I feel like I’m artificially intelligent (if intelligent at all).
