Sounds mad I know...

But I've just started taking quetepine 2 weeks ago... since then i havnt been able to cry.

I know it sounds crazy, But I find crying such a relief sometimes. Today I found out something which has really devestated me, I am so desperate to cry, to just let it out that I'm close to screaming. Its so frustrating. I need a release, crying is my release, and I just can't.

Has anyone else had this? Please can anyone tell me if I'll ever be able to cry again.

Yes I had the same thing. Seroquel made me too zombie like and I had to quit it.

Well I get like this without medecine. I'll always be on the verge. This huge vast feeling in my gut , but I still can't cry.

Hi both,
Thanks for replying,

Crazymonkey,

I feel like a total zombie on it too, The drowziness has gone, however the zombie like state hasnt, i feel like i'm cruising through the days knowing nothing, with no personality or feelings, I honestly reckon you could tell me my dog was dead tomorrow and I wouldnt react, where as 2 months ago Just the thought of loosing her would have made me hysterical. The doctors said the next med would be lithium if this one didnt work. Do you mind me asking what your taking now and what you think of it? Sorry if you do.
Its early days for me and meds... but i cant cope with being a zombie. I had ADHD as a child and spent my days in a ritalin enduced zombie like state. I refuse to spend my adult hood like that aswel. I would rather have my uncontrolled highs and lows to being like a zombie.

It is your choice. You can learn to control it without the meds. some people use coping skills and such.

Maybe your right JPKAS,

But I wasnt very good at controllign it myself, maybe now I know more I could be. I just feel like a very small person, in a very big scary world right now...

I understand that ingle. I would try getting the help of a therapist or something to help learn coping or at least look for some coping skills elsewhere. I'm not really sure how to handle mental issues myself .
