I'm so scared

Postby SamK » Mon Jun 17, 2013 9:48 am

*************MODERATORS***********
I'm really sorry, I posted in two sections, delete one of the threads by all means. I got kind of desperate and thought the first one was rejected.
*****************************************


First off, I'm sorry to the moderators if my previous post didn't meet acceptable standards. I was terrified and writing out of desperation. I'll try and keep this one more coherent.

About a year ago, my Olanzapine (10mg) stopped working effectively. I've since tried Risperidone, which made my anxiety far worse and did nothing for my psychotic symptoms. I went back to Olanzapine, and have been taking it for the past 8 months or so, even though it wasn't really working anymore. Three days ago I was switched to Seroquel at 50mg, and its horrible. I feel more depressed than I have done in a very long time, and my psychotic symptoms are still present. I really hoped this stuff would work, but its tearing me apart. I'm seeing a doctor today to try and rectify the issue, although I know there is no quick fix.

What I want to know is, do you think I should stay on the Seroquel and wait for it to kick in? Would it be realistic to expect it to help if I give it time? I am desperate and in a very bad place right now. Any advice you could offer would mean the world to me.

Thankyou.

I've posted in another section of the forum, so sorry again about the double-post. More than happy to talk there, and if anyone is in the same situation and wants to talk, drop me a line. :)

Hi Sam,
I'd recommend following your doctor's advice. Hope you are feeling better.
