Ed this is a post I posted awhile back around the end of my first week on Seroquel.

Yesterday was day 8 of Seroquel 50mgs. By the end of the day yesterday I was having way more positive, focused, oraganized thought. The bad thing is I kinda feel like the times I've had some very mild hypomania. I'm still sleeping like Rip Van Winkle and I kinda feel sleepy today, but the hangover stoned feeling I was having the first week seems to be gone. Surely Seroquel couldn't cause hypomania. I'm hoping that raising the dose to 100 or 150mgs will yeild positive results. I don't know if I should call my doctor now or wait until April 8th until I see him next.

I responded really positively to Geodon 20mgs for about two months and it kinda lost alot of its spark. However, it started working within 1 day! I looked back at a really old post of mine when I tried Zyprexa for the first time and I said that I responded to 2.5mgs or it might have been the Lamictal that I was taking at the time. I wasn't able to tell which drug it was that was working. I then raised the Zyprexa to 5mgs and sort of lost effect. I was thinking that maybe I only respond to really low doses of AP's. I've tried Zyprexa all the way up to 15mgs and it really didn't do anything for me. Can AP's work at really low dose and prove ineffective at high dose? If the Seroquel is working right now it doesn't have quite the kick that Geodon had. Again maybe that can be affected by a dosage change. Wish me luck.

Right now I just kinda feel blah. I haven't noticed a huge change on the 50mgs. I do know that it greatly helps sleep, and I'm better on it than with no medication. I'll let you know how the dosage change helps.

Tom
