Zoloft/Seroquel side effects... inappropriate crying?

Postby theunknown » Sat Apr 14, 2012 8:45 am

Hello everyone.

I am on 100 mgs of Zoloft and 200 mgs of Seroquel. I've been taking the Zoloft for a couple months and the Seroquel for a couple longer than that. I recently stopped taking the Seroquel because it had started to make me EXTREMELY drowsy, I couldn't get up in the morning at all and I was sleeping the majority of the day and when I was awake for that short period I couldn't stop yawning. I had originally started to take it for sleep but apparently I've overcome my insomnia issues and the medication started affecting me badly. I can't see my doctor at the moment so I couldn't get my dosage lowered to taper off and it was interfering with my daily life too much. I stopped taking it about three weeks ago, and I'm not sure if this is related but: I can't stop crying. I've never been an emotional person and I've definitely never been a crier. In fact, before this it had been years before I cried and over the past three days, I've had about twenty separate crying spells over just about anything. I'm not sure if this is from the Zoloft kicking in at 100 mgs or if it's from the Seroquel withdrawal, but it's very embarrassing and disconcerting. I keep having to pretend I'm having an allergic reaction to offer an explanation to why I have obviously been crying. Earlier I was simply taking a walk outside and I started getting emotional and crying about an old friend. This is going to drive me insane, I don't want to leave my room.

Any experiences with this?
