Hi B2,

>Seroquel was AWESOME for sleep but ended up giving me cognitive blunting

You could probably still take a small dose at night to help you settle without causing blunting. How about getting some from your doc urgently if you don't already have some? You need something to help you through this period B2. I don't think the cognitive issues would be a problem if you're just taking a small dose for a short time. At the moment, you need relief of your insomnia and distress. That's the priority, so Seroquel could help here. Could you get a small number of Seroquel at the ER maybe?

Really sorry to hear that. Lithium is often one of the best meds for people with severe mood disorders who feel very suicidal.

>the illusions are a long standing thing with me the worse my depression gets the worse my illusions (then hallucinations).

OK, I don't think it's related to stopping benzos in that case. It must be a symptom of the severe depression.

Be safe.
