So it's been awhile since I posted anything. First off I finally got in to see my counsellour and my doctor and they both agreed that I should be put on to some new medication to help with the depression for the short term. My psychologist recommended I start taking Seroquel, which my doc has now prescribed to me at 150mg once a night to help me to get some sleep again.

I have been taking it for 6 days now and so far I have had uncontrolable hungry, nothing I ate would make me feel full so I just kept eating, and I have had a mild case of akathisia, lucky it happened when I was working and I work in a supermarket do I don't get a chance to stand still, but I do get to sit behind the register when I am scanning items, but today I actually stood and moved from left to right constantly for an hour and a half, but then it just stopped. I am glad that it didn't go on for too long, but even now I can feel my knees starting to ache for movement.

I have read through the Quetiapine forum on here and found that I am not going through anything to severe.

I have found that actually writing out my thoughts, feelings and worries has been surprisingly freeing for me.

I have been in a depressive state for the last three weeks and I finally feel that I am coming out of it. My outlook on life is getting better each day. Still stressed, but that is easing as my wife is now working again.
