> But now I read Old School's story about Seroquel and EPS and I am scared out of my mind. I have jaw clenching and tongue wiggling and my tongue has some pretty bad sores on it. I don't know what from...From all the repetitive rubbing or is it from the increased dry mouth from the Seroquel?
Chloe you mentioned both jaw clenching and sores on your tongue. At night you may have actually injured your tongue with the clenching. Talking to your dentist or doctor and they may be able to give you ideas on how to speed the recovery. I find flossing helps, don't know why but it seems to speed recovery and mouthwash.

>I can't get in touch with a pdoc till wednesday. What am I supposed to do? I think I will have bigtime rebound craziness if I just go off. I am so suicidal. NOTHING I take really helps that much, and all meds that do help, like lithium or AP's give me such bad side effects. I just want to throw in the towel. The pain is just so unbearable. And now, a med that was marginally workinig looks like it could permanently impair me. God, I guess I don't even care if I get impaired at this piont.Chloe we are all individuals. Our symptoms may have similarities but how they affect and impair us differ. I believe that our mental health takes precedence, because it affects our identity and ability to think. At the present time I don't let what "MAY" happen affect me, because it may not and there are bigger issues for me to deal with now.
Hang in there! Write down your main concerns and bring them to your doctor's appointment.
Keep in touch ...
