> - doxogenicThanks for the suggestion, Doxogenic! When I was hospitalized I was given a really low dose of Seroquel at night (25 mg) for insomnia. For that, it was absolutely amazing.
I wonder though if it would make me feel even more sedated on the Luvox since it is already so tranquilizing...?
Update: Tomorrow I have to go into work and I have felt SO STUPID all of today and yesterday and highly depressed. This is dreadful. I was so close to calling my doctor today but I know all he is going to say is "stay on it or get off the med." I think he is sick of me!
My friend called me tonight and the whole time he was talking I had such horrid trouble trying to follow what he was saying, and I can hardly formulate a sentence. My brain feels like apple sauce...I hope this mental lethargy goes away on a higher dose even though I have to wait THREE WEEKS just to go up! I think my doctor may be titrating me up on meds wayyyy too slowly...
