It’s not a question of me being a proponent of modern psychiatry. It’s more just a realistic approach to dealing with the politics of the situation

No luckily I don’t, but I think the seroquel works as a sleeping pill

It does. Seroquel was given to me as a sedative for sleeping when I was in the hospital

Ah yes I understand that you are scared. Do you function on it or are there too many side effects?

It helps a lot with reducing my paranoia and delusions. It makes me hungry all the time though.

urge your pdoc to raise it to like 800 mg I think is the dose I heard for seroquel…I’m not a doctor, but 25 mg you’re just asking for trouble…get on a higher dose please. before you totally lose reality.

You might be right. My psych nurse asked me the other day if God had given me a special mission in this life. And I answered “No”, but actually I’m not certain about that. I don’t know for sure. I am starting to feel a little delusional, but maybe I’m just lonely and spend too much time on my own thinking
