> I AM TAKING 25 MG. OF SEROQUEL, AND I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY CONTROLING MY ANGER OUTBURSTS.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Greetz to rogdog ... my advice to you: throw the shit out. Here's my story:
I resumed psychiatric treatment at The University of Connecticut (Farmington), and one
of the chief reasons for doing so was to control my bursts of total madcapped abandon.
In other words, I was losing my temper BIG TIME, lashing out at people and destroying stuff.The "brains" there, Dr. Catherine Lewis, who, within 3 minutes, diagnosed me with some bullshit
syndrome called "Intermittent Spontaneous Convulsive Emotional Outbursts," something I think
this broad made up impromptu, and prescribed this CHEMICAL PUNISHMENT called "Seroquel""But, doctor, they give that to crazy people, you know, like Manson types."
"No, Kazoo, don't worry, just take 25 mgs at bed, the lowest of the low in dosages, and you
*will* be fine. I am fully aware of your chemical sensitivity."Yeah, fat chance.
Let me tell you what one stinkin' dose of that crap did to me. Within 30 minutes, I felt like
I was crawling out of my skin. Within an hour, all my sensory perceptions became distorted to
the point of immobility. And as far as controlling the anger, it only made it worse.
I could not turn the light off to go to bed because these three dimensional monsters would
spring out at me from the darkness, so the light stayed on. My heart was racing a mile a minute,
and I thought I was having a heart attack. When I did close my eyes, the NBC peacock appeared with
all the colors of the spectrum, and I envisioned these fantastic geometric patterns in a constant
creation and destruction array.I prayed to the Almighty: "If there is a God, either end my suffering right now with a quick death,
or allow me to sleep." I was condemned to live: the next thing I knew, it was morning. I was able to
get 6 hours of a DEAD, dreamless sleep. You should also know that it took a full 24 hours before that
shit left my blood stream.The stuff should be banned. After this experience, I think I prefer the anger.
Attention Dr. Catherine Lewis: where did you get your training? The University of Auschwitz?
