I think that when I increased seroquel from 25-300mg I felt emotionally unconnected with the world (myself, my family, therapy, etc) for at least 3 weeks. Has been getting better and better, though.
I know that for me, the seroquel makes me much more even-keeled, and it takes away the part of my consciousness that so quickly switches to horrible thoughts- takes away that voice of worry, doom, worst-case scenario, flashbacks.
Well, that was the basis of my emotional experience for a good month or more before increasing the seroquel (mood stabilizer, anti-mania, anti-bipolar-depressant, antipsychotic, antihistamine (yay!). So? who was I without these terrible feelings? How could I experience a happy feeling? What the hey-hey is going on upstairs?
Terrible to feel numb like that Dinah. I hope you can figure out an adjustment, or have faith and stick it out, like I did?
in the meanwhile, hugs, even if they're hard to "feel", they come from a well-wishing Li, with warm thoughts for you-
Li
